Goldman Sachs Launches '10,000 Women', ISB to be the Indian Associate

In addition to funding tuition for business and management education, '10,000 Women' will work with development organizations to better understand the local challenges girls and young women must overcome so more of them can realize economic opportunity and

achieve their full potential. Many of these partnerships will seek to establish mentoring and networking channels for women and encourage career development opportunities.

'10,000 Women' has been in development for more than a year and was inspired by economic research from Goldman Sachs that showed the powerful effects of greater labor force participation of women on economies and societies. Goldman Sachs will commit $ 100 Million to this initiative over the next five years. In addition, the people of Goldman Sachs will contribute their time and expertise through classroom instruction and mentoring.

Increase the entrepreneurial talent and managerial pool in developing and emerging economies - especially among women - is one of the most important means to reducing inequality and ensuring more share economic growth. Goldman Sachs also will announce in the coming months additional 10,000 Women program partnerships that will provide more business and management education for disadvantaged women in the United States.
