Launched by Pinnacle Industries in 2023, EvolutioNari has been instrumental in promoting gender diversity and fostering an inclusive workplace. This multifaceted program aims to support women at every stage of their career journey, offering them opportunities to re-enter the workforce, explore new business ventures, and advance their careers across various sectors.

Building on the success and positive impact of EvolutioNari, AIC-Pinnacle is proud to announce its own dedicated initiative exclusively for women entrepreneurs. Evolutionari Women Entrepreneurs Program (WEP) is a 6-month long incubation program, designed to further encourage and support female entrepreneurs by providing them with a unique opportunity to join a carefully curated cohort of 10 women entrepreneurs.

By creating a dedicated space for women entrepreneurs, AIC-Pinnacle seeks to build on the momentum of EvolutioNari WEP and extend its benefits to a broader group of women entrepreneurs. This program will have over 100 mentors spanning across various sectors and geographies. Mentors are allotted based on the need and requirement of the start-up.

Former ARAI director Rashmi Urdhwareshe; Cofounder and CTO at Railofy Hrishabh Sanghvi; Acuitas TechComm director Dr. Rijwan Pinjari; are some of the mentors who would be guiding the female business leaders in their entrepreneurial journey.

At AIC-Pinnacle, 3 women-led ventures – Krishigati Pvt Ltd, Serenum Products Pvt Ltd and Mommy Mills Foods Pvt Ltd. have already demonstrated remarkable potential and have benefited immensely from the incubator’s resources and expert guidance. These women led startups have received comprehensive support including mentoring, technical assistance, networking opportunities, and substantial funding comprising of grants from MeitY startup Hub, Atal Innovation Mission and Startup India Seed Fund (SISFS).

“The goal of this program is to create a nurturing environment where women can excel, innovate, and lead as entrepreneurs. For our previous cohorts, we have been receiving applications from women entrepreneurs across diverse sectors. To increase the percentage of women entrepreneurs, the incubator focus is more towards generating viable and innovative ideas first. We are confident that if women entrepreneurs come up with such ideas, our dedicated team of incubation managers, acceleration managers and mentors can support to commercialize them”, said Mr. Sunil Dhadiwal, CEO of AIC-Pinnacle Entrepreneurship Forum.

EvolutioNari WEP will offer a comprehensive support system, including mentorship, networking opportunities, and resources tailored to the needs of women entrepreneurs. The program’s funding will be determined based on the ideas and needs presented by applicants, ensuring that each participant receives the necessary support to succeed and achieve their goals.
