Pusa Krishi

BEEJ is designed for students, first-time entrepreneurs, and early-stage visionaries in the agriculture and agri-tech sectors. It aims to bridge the gap between a raw concept and a market-ready business. Participants engage in daily masterclasses, Lean Canvas development, structured validation, and mentorship. Upon completion, participants will have a validated business roadmap, be incubation-ready, possess a founder's toolkit of core business skills, and receive an official certification.

Her Harvest offers interactions with leading women entrepreneurs and changemakers across various fields, including business, art, design, social media, finances, and technology. The program includes interactive workshops, discussions, debates, and immersive activities. Benefits include access to 5 expert sessions, upskilling for future business, learning from mentors, access to knowledge resources, network and community building, and an e-certificate on completion. It is a masterclass series and does not have a direct connection to Pusa Krishi's incubation programs, but the skills learned can aid in preparing for incubation program applications. Open to all entrepreneurs.
