Mentoring for Enrichment (ME) Program 2022-23

The last two years have been transformative for many businesses.

Our core belief as Bombay Chamber has always been in supporting the development of different industries and business.

This year we are working towards strengthening our DEI impact, specifically in the field of gender diversity. We hope that these events will bring more value to our future women leaders.

We are hence excited to inform you that the Bombay Chamber D&I Committee will conduct a series of Mentoring Programs in FY 22-23 for women professionals.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested to connect with a mentor who can offer their insight, advice and help navigate through their professional careers. Research says that professionals with mentors are 5 times more likely to achieve career growth.

We hence invite prospective mentors and mentees to participate in this 6 – month ‘Mentoring for Enrichment (ME)’ Journey which we will launch in November 2022 that includes 6-8 more one-to-one sessions with the mentor for approximately 1 hour each month.
