“We have designed this course for those entrepreneurs who want to build their own brand in the fashion industry and combine design, business and manufacturing knowledge,” said Sanjay Pal, Senior Faculty & Head, Department of Business Services and National Outreach, EDII.

“The course will teach and train entrepreneurs to conceive, finance, open and operate a successful fashion business to ensure they not only design clothes and accessories, but also attitude that converts idea into a business,” Pal added.
