Mumbai based ManagementParadise.com has been nominated for TATA NEN Hottest Startups Awards
The First ever ‘Public Choice’ awards to recognize India’s new wave of growth, the TATA NEN Hottest Startups is an online contest where people can nominate companies & vote for them both on internet & through SMS.
The Awards are a unique collaboration between the Tata Group, India’s most respected business conglomerate and National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), the largest representatives of new & future entrepreneurs in India. The Awards aim to showcase and recognize high potential young companies in India, with the goal to attract visibility for over 800 entrepreneurs & their ventures in India, and engage over 5,00,000 people.
Everything that touches management education is our kingdom. With this in mind we cater to BMS, BBI, BAF and MBA students to handhold them in their journey right from Bachelors in management to Masters in management.
We fill the gap between education that an IIM student would recieve and a St Francis MBA through research dissemination.
With over 70 thousand members, MP (Management Paradise) is doing revolutionizing management education.
"Its an honor to be nominated for the coveted award" Said Kartik Raichura, CEO / Founder expressing delight in being nominated and the need for such an initiative in India.
