Vedica Scholars Programme for Women - [VSPW]

The Vedica Scholars Programme for Women (VSPW) is a unique 18-month, fully residential, management and personal growth programme - and perhaps the world’s first such initiative - focused on providing an MBA-like education to graduate women together with skills on how to navigate professional challenges and have a successful career. A group of pre-eminent women in India and abroad have come together to support and endorse this programme - our Board of Advisors includes Madeleine Albright, former US Secretary of State; Meenakshi Gopinath, former Principal of LSR; Chhavi Rajawat, sarpanch of Soda village; Vinita Bali, former MD of Britannia; Joanna Barsh, author of ‘How Remarkable Women Lead’ and management consultant with McKinsey in the US; Ireena Vittal, independent director and formerly a partner with McKinsey; and several others. These young women will be exposed to an MBA-type course, together with courses in leadership, the liberal arts and in critical thinking and communication –
