Established in 2004, Kanara Entrepreneurs (KE) – the renowned global organization that has brought global business leaders, entrepreneurs and startups from the Kanara region under one umbrella, has now gone one step ahead by opening out avenues for virtual memberships.
KE was limited to Dubai and Bengaluru only. Now, with the virtual memberships being open, it will benefit all those entrepreneurs and business people from all over the world, outside Dubai and Bengaluru, who wanted to become KE members.
KE conducted several webinars during the lockdown period which was open to all programmes, which covered many varieties of topics on business, economics etc. Also, other online sessions were conducted, connected to the present global situation. These webinars will soon be restricted only for members. Hence virtual members can benefit from these various online programmes, going forward.
