About Us
eMERG, the Engineering Manufacturer Entrepreneurs Resource Group, is the brainchild of a group of enterprising business women. eMERG was founded in an era when women engineers in India were still foraying in small numbers – into entrepreneurship. With hardly any eco system and support available, an exclusive professional networking space for women in engineering manufacturing was unheard of. Yet, the need to associate with others in the space, share the challenges, experiences and hard earned wisdom – led Seven enterprising women engineers to found eMERG in 2006, in Bangalore, India.
Over the years, eMERG has grown exponentially, and now is an association for women in technology, business, profession & services. As a Not for Profit organization, eMERG works to provide women a platform to showcase and develop their business and talents. eMERG regularly conducts training programs for the members, which provides them opportunities to learn about the current policies, funding facilities as well as training potentials available from the government and the non-government sectors. eMERG organizes trade delegations nationally as well as internationally which provides excellent exposure opportunities.
Our Vision
“To build an association and platform for women entrepreneurs in technology, business and services to support in their growth by providing a platform to nurture opportunities for network, growth and scaling both nationally and internationally.”
Our Vision: A message from Uma Reddy, Founder and past President
A decade of walking with entrepreneurial women!
An interesting journey – from visioning an association at the growth level for women in technology, in 2006 to having a vibrant group of women in technology, business and services in 2016. It is this dream that the 7 founding members envisioned to support the growth of women in technology, business, profession and services. There was a felt need for a platform to support at the growth level of women owned enterprises, especially in the area of technology. So, along with a team of like minded members, eMERG has provided an opportunity for entrepreneurial women, to network, both national and international, for business growth.
Women entrepreneurs are the new engines of growth to an economy and women owned businesses form an integral component of MSMEs. eMERG has been carrying out various activities to achieve its objective and contribute to the growth of women owned enterprises and their participation & contribution to national economy. Mentoring, Training, Policy advocacy and certification are the many activities of eMERG, in its journey, to achieve its objectives.The flagship annual event of eMERG is an international business Convention – Forging Links Leveraging Networks, where more and more women participate to learn, grow, network and be part of mainstream business.The focus of eMERG for the future is a B-B portal, a business incubator and a training centre in basic engineering skills source of innovation, job creation and As a founder President, have been very happy with the growth path of eMERG supporting women entrepreneurs, women managers & women professionals.Wishing all women entrepreneurs, women Managers and women professionals, exponential growth.Best RegardsUma Reddy Founder President, eMERG
