Deadline for Submission of
Executive Summary: October 30, 2007
Empezar '07, for the first
time at IMI, is an initiative towards nurturing Entrepreneurial Spirit among
budding managers. A platform where the Best will rub shoulders with the Betters
and scale greater heights in the collective pursuit of their individual
entrepreneurial ambitions.
A forum for the celebration of
the audacious spark of innovation and exploration, it offers an opportunity to
showcase business ideas as a B-Plan, and receive feedback from an eminent
panel of judges. The forum anticipates a culmination of innovative ideas
captivating the interest of potential investors.
Empezar '07 is also an
opportunity for the entrepreneurs-in-making to learn from the experiences of
successful entrepreneurs, who have been there and done it all - as they share
with us the how-to's of the otherwise innate art of Entrepreneurship through
discussions and a workshop. IMI presents an opportunity to those with
Chutzpah, out-of-the-box thinking and initiative to take calculated risks.

strategies in the market, and prove their mettle in the sacred art of wealth
