Since 2018, the XLRI Alumni Bangalore Chapter has organized many UP! Conferences (seminars, interactive sessions, discussions, etc.). The conferences were aimed to promote developmental opportunities for women professionals, both for the XLRI alumni and others. Several women alumni of XLRI who were participants and organizing team members came together to form the XL Women’s Coalition for Change (XLW CfC) to craft programs and broad-based interventions to help increase workforce participation of women and to support women in leadership positions.
XLRI launched its Centre for Public Policy and Public Affairs on February 7 of this year. It was inaugurated with a lecture by Professor Benjamin Friedman, the William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy at Harvard University.
XLRI is developing an ecosystem to promote and support entrepreneurship. At the core of this ecosystem, an incubator (XLRI Council for Entrepreneurship Excellence and Development) has been setup which will help students, alumni and faculty launch high impact new ventures.
