Young Entrepreneur School (YES) was established in the year 2004 on the 15th of August in Madurai by the Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce & Industry (TN Chamber) with the aim of training young people to successfully navigate the challenges and pitfalls associated with entrepreneurship. This progressive idea was initiated during the Trade Delegation of TN Chamber to South Africa.

Abdul Kalam, President of India, visited the Chamber and interacted with the members of YES and the TN Chamber on 27 August 2004, coinciding with the TN Chamber’s 80th anniversary.
