On 10th October, the momentum soared at the second session of the Entrepreneurship Program for Women Entrepreneurs – MBYBE at the Swakiyam Centre for Incubation and Innovation, Indira University. With passion and purpose, our women entrepreneurs explored the world of new-age technology under the guidance of our distinguished guest, Dr Poorna Shankar, Professor & Dean R&D, ICEM. Dr. Poorna illuminated the attendees on how artificial intelligence and data analytics are rapidly reshaping modern business, especially for startups aspiring to lead in their sectors.

Participants discovered how AI-driven tools can streamline operations, uncover new opportunities, and dynamically pivot business strategies, laying the groundwork for smarter decision-making. At the same time, they learned how to master data analysis and interpretation, digging beneath the surface of raw numbers to extract meaningful insights and fuel innovation-led growth.

As the session concluded, the women entrepreneurs left not only inspired but equipped with tangible skills, a fresh outlook, and renewed confidence. The clear message emerged that technology is no longer a mere support function. Rather, it has become an important growth catalyst and a competitive differentiator. These future-ready ventures are now poised to leverage AI and data as powerful allies in their entrepreneurial journey, unlocking new possibilities and redefining what is possible in this new age.

Here’s to the next chapter of growth, innovation, and success for our cohort of women-led startups!
