Enabling Women Of Kamand (EWOK)
Enabling Women of Kamand (EWOK) Society provides rural women with information, training, guidance and incubation for new business undertakings in the Kamand Valley of Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh. The EWOK office is located in Salgi village, Mandi District. History In 2014, a student team from IIT Mandi conducted a survey of women in nearby villages. The study revealed that about 75% of them had not completed schooling (12th grade), limiting them to low paid, unskilled jobs. However, they showed a keen interest in being trained and guided. A lack of awareness, guidance and training has restricted the potential for growth and employment for local women. EWOK was formally started by IIT Mandi in April 2016. On 18 November 2019 EWOK was registered as a society under the Himachal Pradesh Societies Registration Act of 2006. Goals EWOK aims to create an eco-system of women-centric entrepreneurship and employment in the Kamand valley of Himachal Pradesh. It focuses on im ...

Business Incubators Of India
Business is the practice of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services). It is also "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit." Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business. If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner's personal possessions. A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business. The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or by public officials) to refer to a company, such as a corporation or cooperative. Corporations, in contrast with sole proprietors and partnerships, are a separate legal entity and provide limited liability for their owners/members, as well as being subject to corporate tax rates. A corporation is more complicated ...

NBIA categorizes its members' incubators by the following five incubator types: academic institutions; non-profit development corporations; for-profit property development ventures; venture capital firms, and a combination of the above. Business incubators differ from research and technology parks in their dedication to startup and early-stage companies.
