Discussing the launch of the course, Hersh Shah, CEO, India Affiliate of Institute of Risk Management, UK said, “We are thrilled to introduce the world’s first free ERM course for startups, in collaboration with Invest India, as part of our mission to facilitate the development of a crisis-ready entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country. We are also honoured by this association which recognizes IRM India as a thought leader in enterprise risk management.
Risks are an inevitable yet integral part of entrepreneurship and a structured approach to managing these risks is often ignored in the early stages of business. While none of these risks can be eliminated, entrepreneurs must learn how to manage uncertainties across departments to protect the objectives and enhance the growth of their business. With increasing business failures and external complexities, it is imperative that startups prepare for disruptions in the future so that they can successfully navigate crises like the Covid-19.”
“Invest India has been working towards strengthening the startup ecosystem, and with the help of corporate partners, we are making our startups enterprise-ready. Frugal innovations, which form the core of the Indian startup ecosystem, provide a plethora of solutions to combat the socio-economic issues in the country and across the globe. Invest India is committed to ensuring new-age innovations drive growth, prosperity & development in New India,” said Deepak Bagla, MD & CEO, Invest India.
