IIT Madras signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and several professional institutes to implement the Corporate Mitra Scheme. The initiative aims to create a pool of trained para-professionals who can assist Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in managing business operations and regulatory compliance. The programme includes 150 hours of online learning through the SWAYAM Plus portal, followed by six months of practical training with professional firms. It also offers fee concessions for women and candidates from specified regions, supporting skill development and ease of doing business in India.
