Foundation for Management Research and Training organized a Women Leadership Conclave – ASMITA – WOMAN (Weaver of Optimism, Motivation, Affinity & Nobility) on 30 September 2018 at Nehru Memorial Museum & Library, New Delhi.

 

FMRT has been founded with a soul full of value, versatility and validity. Dr. Jyoti Rana, an alumna of IIMA (FDP-2006-07) is the Founder and Chairperson of FMRT which is a non-profit organization. Our core efforts are to facilitate development programs, conclaves, and expression development workshops for transforming lives in India.

 

We at FMRT work on two separate levels: For the organization, our approach is of the 5 Es – empathy, expectations, education, engagement, and elevation; whereas for beneficiaries, it is 5As – actions, achievements, answerability, aspirations and acknowledgement. We not only respect everyone’s individuality but also try to inculcate the “We are meaningful” sense in everyone. Our pedagogy is based on Craft, Communication, Concentration and Commitment. This turns our work into the ultimate sense of joy.
