In increasing efforts to promote entrepreneurship, two Institutions based in Hyderabad are joining hands to launch The Entrepreneur Zone (TEZ) soon.

The Institute of Public Enterprise and Zen Skill Proc will run an industry backed entrepreneurship program. The TEZ will be an entrepreneurship development and incubation centre. A 6-month modular programme covering aspects from nurturing ideas to supporting them to a start-up will be started in June said Nandita Sethi, who will head it.

Those who want to start a business or wish to join family business can walk in with the business idea and work towards its success, she says. The programme will be conducted at the IPE campus in Osmania University.

The course will consist of training sessions and incubation. It will provide entrepreneur mentoring, industry tie-ups/internships etc.
