Prof. Manoj Kumar Tiwari, Director of IIM Mumbai, said Tejasvinī पहल will support women through education, entrepreneurship, policy engagement, and leadership development.
IIM Mumbai has announced the launch of Tejasvinī पहल on Mother’s Day 2026, introducing a women focused institutional initiative built around leadership, entrepreneurship, policy research, inclusion, and educational access.
The institute said the initiative is intended to create long term and structured opportunities for women through management education, innovation, and institution led impact.
Launched on Mother’s Day, Tejasvinī पहल recognises the role of women as first educators, institution builders, and changemakers in society. IIM Mumbai said the initiative also reflects the need to create leadership and learning ecosystems that support women across sectors and communities.
The initiative has five dimensions: scholarships for girl students, Tejasvinī Rashtriya Samman, Tejasvinī Sansthan Puraskar, institutional governance and DEI, and national awards for women leaders.
Derived from the Sanskrit word Tejasvinī, which symbolises brilliance, strength, and radiance, the initiative aims to build an ecosystem that enables women to lead, innovate, and create sustainable impact.
“On Mother’s Day, IIM Mumbai is proud to launch Tejasvinī पहल as a meaningful institutional initiative dedicated to strengthening women-led leadership, innovation, and inclusion. Mothers are the first teachers, mentors, and builders of society, and this initiative is our commitment towards creating platforms that support women through education, entrepreneurship, policy engagement, and leadership development,” said Prof. Manoj Kumar Tiwari, Director, IIM Mumbai.
The institute also referenced the Sanskrit verse “Yatra nāryastu pūjyante, ramante tatra devatāḥ,” meaning where women are honoured, there the divine dwells. IIM Mumbai said the initiative is intended to translate this thought into an institutional effort through education, recognition, governance, and access.
