Efficient entrepreneurial skills, good market awareness, sustainable financial management, clear business models can help a business scale up effortlessly. Structured classroom training combined with hands-on mentorship and real-world exposure can significantly improve a startup’s chances of success.
Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad is playing a pivotal role in shaping and strengthening India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. EDII possesses more than 40 years of experience in entrepreneurship education, training, skill building, MSME growth, startups, innovations and institution building. It is a Centre of Excellence in the skilling ecosystem, as recognised by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, GoI.
At EDII, postgraduate education was never designed to produce only managers; it was designed to produce owner managers, family-business successors, intrapreneurs and community change-makers.
Flagship Programmes
Post Graduate Diploma Management-Entrepreneurship (PGDM-E) Two-year, full-time, AICTE approved
The course, launched in 1998, encompasses the entire New Enterprise Creation process from idea generation to preparation of a detailed project report. The students receive comprehensive knowledge of the entrepreneurial ecosystem

Post Graduate Diploma Management- Innovation Entrepreneurship & Venture Development (PGMD-IEV) Two-year, full-time, AICTE approved
In keeping with the Government of India’s Start Up Initiative the course fosters technology-based innovation in business. The curriculum is outcome-oriented and enables students to validate ideas, innovate, test markets and build a successful technology driven start up.
Course Highlights
Experiential learning through Technology based Incubator at EDII, the Centre for Advancing and Launching Enterprises (CrAdLE)
Exposure to innovation and technology commercialization.
PGDM (Online): AICTE-approved online PGDM and executive programmes extend EDII’s pedagogy to mid-career professionals with flexible delivery, industry panels and project assessments. Recognising that entrepreneurial competencies are equally critical within corporate environments, EDII’s Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Online) offers ‘Corporate Entrepreneurship’ as a distinctive specialisation.
What separates EDII’s PGDM courses from a typical management degree is how the curriculum is wired to enterprise outcomes:
Milestone-based enterprise building (students are expected to launch pilots during the programme duration itself).
Live rural and urban immersion projects that expose students to customer realities and supply-chain constraints.
Modules on family business succession, social enterprise, and tech-for-tradition that reflect EDII’s inclusive mandate.
Strong emphasis on IP, legal aspects and go-to-market in the IEV programme.
EDII’s in-house incubator - CrAdLE- that closes the loop from idea to market:
In this era driven by technology, innovative tech-based business ideas are revolutionizing the business landscape. Initiated in 2016, the Centre for Advancing and Launching Enterprises (CrAdLE) is a technology business incubator hosted by EDII, Ahmedabad and catalysed & supported by National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), DST, Govt. of India. CrAdLE extends technical expertise, advice on intellectual property, mentoring and assistance in business plan, networking, sources of financing and working space to pioneering ideas in the segments of manufacturing, food processing, renewable energy, healthcare and many other emerging areas.
The results have been quite remarkable. So far, 145 Startups have been incubated, over Rs.10 crore of funds have been raised through Government Schemes and seed funding through Investors has been received to the tune of Rs. 100 crore +.
As India’s entrepreneurial landscape evolves, institutions a major step in the direction of assimilating technology more closely, in the curriculum, includes the addition of a new specialization of Technology Entrepreneurship, in EDII’s PG Diploma in Management- Entrepreneurship course. With deep tech gaining momentum and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) also placing significant accent on promoting such tech led enterprises, this learning will open new gates for students targeting enterprises in groundbreaking, tech-driven sectors. Before taking the plunge, every potential entrepreneur must understand the significance of extensively researching the business opportunity that he/she opts for. Generally, budget is a constraint for most young enthusiasts; which is where counselling, entrepreneurship education and guidance become important so that they learn about various funding sources, policies, schemes and avenues that they can tap. EDII PG alumni gain on this front in the market. Another aspect that I would like to add here is the importance of entrepreneurial competencies among working professionals. Abilities of innovation, creativity, problem solving and entrepreneurial rationality could be assets for working executives, imparting them the wisdom to plan strategically and drive growth. Every employer prefers such employees with an entrepreneurial mindset. EDII’s Post Graduate Diploma in Management (online) offers ‘Corporate Entrepreneurship’ as a unique specialization. The module stems from EDII’s years of experience in conducting short duration ‘Intrapreneurship Development Programmes’ for noted corporates. These programmes aimed at enhancing managerial skills, leadership excellence and entrepreneurial thinking & mindset among the officials.
As India’s entrepreneurial landscape evolves, institutions that combine academic rigor with real-world enterprise creation will define the next generation of founders. At EDII, postgraduate education is not confined to classrooms, it is lived through incubation, market immersion, policy integration, and sustained mentorship. The Institute is committed to shaping entrepreneurs who build viable ventures, strengthen communities, and contribute meaningfully to India’s inclusive economic growth story.
Quest Global Reports 90% Women In Technical Roles, Women In Leadership Roles Strengthens
● Women’s managerial promotions rise to 25% in 2025
● Women in leadership roles grow by 5 percentage points year-on-year
● Female attrition drops to 6% in FY26 YTD from 18% in FY24
Quest Global, the world’s largest independent pure-play engineering services company, today highlighted the growing impact of women engineers across its global workforce ahead of International Women’s Day 2026, underscoring measurable progress in technical representation, leadership inclusion, and employee retention.
Women represent 25% of Quest Global’s global workforce, with several locations demonstrating near-balanced gender representation. At the company’s Trivandrum center, one of the largest delivery centers for Quest Global, the workforce composition stands at 46% women and 54% men, reflecting a balanced and inclusive environment and its belief that diversity is a critical component to help solve its clients’ most complex engineering problems.
Notably, 90% of women employees at Quest Global are in technical roles meaning nine in ten women are directly engaged in engineering and technology functions. While women globally account for approximately 28% of the STEM workforce, Quest Global’s differentiator lies in the nature of participation, with women overwhelmingly embedded in core engineering roles rather than non-technical functions, reinforcing the company’s engineering-led talent model.
The company has also recorded measurable progress in leadership inclusion. Women’s share of promotions into managerial roles rose to 25% in 2025, up from 20% in 2024 marking a 5 percentage-point year-on-year increase between 2024 and 2025.
Quest Global has also seen significant improvement in employee retention across the organization. Overall voluntary attrition has declined sharply between FY24 and FY26 YTD, with women consistently recording lower attrition levels than men.
Female attrition has reduced substantially to 6% in FY26 YTD, compared to 18% in FY24, indicating stronger engagement, career continuity, and workplace stability for women.
Highlighting Quest Global’s focus on building inclusive engineering careers, Sonia Kutty, Senior Vice President – People & Culture, Quest Global, said “At Quest Global, our focus has been to ensure that women engineers are not just represented, but meaningfully engaged in core technical roles and leadership pathways. Seeing over 90% of our women employees contributing directly to engineering reflects our commitment to creating an environment where technical talent can thrive. The steady increase in women moving into managerial roles and the significant improvement in retention reinforce that inclusive growth is not a one-time initiative, but a sustained organizational priority.”
Yumi Clevenger-Lee, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Sponsor of the “together” Employee Resource Group (ERG), Quest Global, said: “At Quest Global, building engineering excellence goes hand in hand with building inclusive career pathways. Enabling more women to participate and lead in core technical roles is essential to driving innovation and long-term impact. Our continued progress reflects a focused effort to create opportunities where women engineers can grow, contribute meaningfully, and advance into leadership. As we look ahead, strengthening diverse representation across engineering will remain central to how we shape the future. My own progression within the organization reflects the strength of a performance-driven culture that prioritizes capability, leadership development, and long-term career growth.”
As industries globally navigate talent shortages and rapid technological transformation, strengthening participation of women in engineering roles is emerging as a critical growth driver. Quest Global’s workforce trends demonstrate how sustained focus on technical opportunity, leadership pathways, and retention can contribute to building a more inclusive engineering ecosystem.
To mark International Women’s Day 2026, Quest Global has also released a special three-minute video featuring two of its women leaders, reinforcing its commitment to advancing women in engineering, leadership pathways, and inclusive career growth. The video can be viewed here

Air India Expands Asia Footprint With New Routes To Vietnam And Japan
· Mumbai-Tokyo (Haneda) services to begin 15 June, complementing daily flights to Tokyo from Delhi
Air India announced the launch of two new international routes as part of it continued expansion across Asia.
Beginning 01 May 2026, Air India will operate non-stop flights between Delhi and Hanoi, thus making Hanoi the airline’s second gateway in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh City.
Air India will also operate non-stop flights between Mumbai and Tokyo (Haneda) from 15 June 2026, in addition to its Delhi-Tokyo (Haneda) services.
Enabling flexible Open Jaw itineraries to and from Vietnam
The new services to Hanoi will operate five times a week, complementing daily flights to Ho Chi Minh City. This provides greater flexibility to travellers who intend to visit Vietnam with open jaw itineraries, i.e. entering from Hanoi and exiting Ho Chi Minh City or vice versa.
Air India will deploy its A320neo aircraft on the Delhi-Hanoi route, featuring world-class cabin interiors across Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy Class. The opening of this new route adds 6,560 seats to and from Vietnam each month.
Air India flights to and from Vietnam enable convenient connections to several destinations across the airline’s domestic and international route networks, including the United Kingdom and rest of Europe.
Boosting connectivity to Japan
The new services between Mumbai and Tokyo (Haneda) will operate four times a week with Air India’s Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
Recently, Air India increased frequency between Delhi and Tokyo (Haneda), going from 4x weekly to 7x weekly. The airline has also upgraded its product offering on the route, effective 14 February 2026, deploying its B787-9 aircraft, featuring world-class cabin interiors and introducing Premium Economy on the route for the first time.
With this, Air India guests flying to Japan now experience a transformed onboard flying experience with new cabin interiors, modern inflight entertainment systems, WiFi internet connectivity, and refreshed inflight meal menus and beverage collection.
Air India has an active codeshare agreement with fellow Star Alliance member airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA), to provide its guests convenient onward connections from Tokyo Haneda to 6 other major cities in Japan, namely Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Okinawa, Osaka, and Sapporo.
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “Since Air India’s privatisation, we have significantly grown our network across Southeast Asia and the Far East, having added several new routes, optimised flight schedules to enable convenient cross-continent connections, forged new partnerships with other carriers, and deploying upgraded cabin products progressively.”
He added: “Japan and Vietnam have both emerged as fast-growing destinations for Indian travellers, while India’s economic and commercial ties with both nations continue to deepen and present more opportunities for business and trade on both sides. The launch of these new routes supports this growth and strengthens our presence in the region.”
Japan has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing outbound destinations for Indian travellers. According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation, over 3,15,000 Indians visited Japan in 2025, representing a 35% increase over 2024 and nearly 80% growth compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Vietnam continues to gain popularity among leisure travellers and corporate groups alike for its soaring tourism and MICE movements. The country now ranks as the third-most-visited country in Southeast Asia, having recorded over 20 million visitors in 2025.

Chinese Wok Launches Schezwan Fries, Reinventing India’s Favourite Snack With A Desi Chinese Twist
At the heart of the launch is Schezwan Fries, a differentiated offering at national QSR scale scale that combines the crunch of classic fries with Chinese Wok’s iconic Schezwan flavour. Backed by over a decade of leadership in the Desi Chinese category, Chinese Wok is uniquely positioned to extend its flavour authority into a format that resonates strongly with today’s Gen Z and millennial consumers. As snacking occasions increasingly revolve around hangouts, late nights, binge-watching and on-the-go moments, Schezwan Fries taps into a cultural shift towards fries as a bold standalone craving rather than just a side, one that Chinese Wok can authentically own at scale.
The range is served in an interactive Shake-Shake Bag format that turns eating into a playful, do-it-yourself ritual. Consumers add sprinkler, shake the bag, and finish the fries themselves, creating a sensory, participative experience aligned naturally with social-first, experience-driven youth culture. Designed for sharing and creating content, the ritual elevates fries from a simple snack to an engaging moment, reinforcing Chinese Wok’s high-energy brand ethos while making Schezwan Fries instantly distinctive in a crowded snacking market.
To make the experience even more distinctive, Schezwan Fries are served with chopsticks, encouraging consumers to enjoy fries the Chinese Wok way. The playful chopstick engagement transforms a familiar snack into a uniquely Desi Chinese ritual, designed to spark curiosity, sharing and social-first moments. The chopstick experience extends to delivery orders as well, ensuring the brand ritual travels beyond the store.
Commenting on the launch, Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder & Director, Lenexis Foodworks, said, “At Chinese Wok, we have always believed that flavour drives culture. With Schezwan Fries, we are not just entering the fries category—we are creating a new snacking expression rooted in Desi Chinese, a space we have led for over a decade. This launch is part of our larger vision to extend our flavour authority beyond meals and build snack formats that are bold, familiar and scalable across the country”
Sharing the marketing perspective, Vikas Iyer, Marketing Head, Lenexis Foodworks, added, “Fries are no longer just a side, they are a mood, a craving and a cultural staple for Gen Z and millennials. With our Shake-Shake Fries, we have built an experience that’s interactive, bold and packed with flavour. Schezwan Fries, in particular, gives us a clear hero product that no other QSR brand can authentically own at this scale, helping us spark conversations, drive trial and build strong snack-led recall.”
The pan-India launch will be anchored by a quirky, Gen Z-coded digital film for Schezwan Fries that captures the playful chaos and bold personality of the product. Designed with meme culture, snackable storytelling and scroll-first viewing in mind, the film positions Schezwan Fries as the ultimate “main character snack” rather than a side.
The Fries launch will be supported by high-energy digital content, influencer collaborations and in-store activations designed to tap into youth culture, meme trends and food-led storytelling
The new fries range will also be integrated into curated meal combos and upsell formats, strengthening average order value while creating new snack-led entry points into the brand.
With the launch of Schezwan Fries, alongside Classic Salted and Cheese variants, Chinese Wok signals its intent to move beyond meal occasions and build leadership in high-frequency snacking—reinforcing its evolution into a culture-forward, flavour-led QSR brand.

PregaNews Highlights Postpartum Realities This Women’s Day
PregaNews, India’s No.1 pregnancy detection brand, by Mankind Pharma, trusted by millions of women and gynaecologists, has launched a new digital film ahead of International Women’s Day to encourage open conversations around postpartum experiences, a phase often overlooked despite being one of the most emotionally and physically demanding periods in a woman’s life.
In India, nearly one in five mothers experience postpartum depression, yet many continue to struggle in silence, often hesitant to seek help due to fear of judgment or misunderstanding. The campaign film sensitively highlights how postpartum struggles are frequently normalised in everyday conversations, with new mothers often expected to accept discomfort, emotional challenges, and exhaustion as part of the journey without expressing their true feelings. Through relatable moments and authentic storytelling, the film aims to create a more supportive environment where women feel comfortable sharing their experiences without hesitation or judgment.
The initiative reflects PregaNews’ continued commitment to supporting women beyond pregnancy, recognising motherhood as a journey that includes emotional wellbeing alongside physical health.
Commenting on the campaign, Joy Chatterjee, Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing for Consumer Division, Mankind Pharma, said: "At PregaNews, we believe that supporting women goes beyond pregnancy detection. Motherhood is a deeply personal journey, and every woman deserves understanding and empathy during this transformative phase. Through this campaign, we hope to encourage meaningful conversations around postpartum experiences and help create an environment where women feel heard, supported and reassured."
The film was conceptualized and executed by Shweta Bhuchar Co-Founder & Producer and Gaurav Bhardwaj, Co-Founder & Director, SG Dream Media, with a focus on portraying the quiet realities many new mothers face but rarely articulate.
With this Women’s Day initiative, PregaNews continues to expand its role from being a trusted pregnancy detection brand to becoming a partner in women’s health conversations, addressing not just milestones, but the realities that follow them.
The campaign film is now live across PregaNews’ digital platforms.
