To foster the spirit of self-reliance among young minds and help them build their future through exposure to entrepreneurship, E-Cell IIT Bombay is set to launch the 16th edition of their annual entrepreneurship fest, E-Summit 2021: A Blizzard of Ingenuity.
The past year taught us how tough times call for tough measures and how small and large businesses worldwide are fighting the economic slowdown in their own ways.
E-Summit’21 is a celebration of ideas and opportunities and a platform to acknowledge the ones who stood strong and firm in this grinding storm while at the same time a medium to remind others who surrendered that the fight is not over yet.
E-Summit is scheduled for the first weekend of February, i.e., 6th – 7th February.
The two-day virtual event promises to bring a wholesome package of entrepreneurship right to your electronic devices be it laptops or phones. The event comprises speaker sessions, workshops, competitions, hackathons, internship job fairs and many more.
The 16th edition looks bigger and better than ever with the presence of pioneers from the business, tech, journalism and media industries.
Kunal Bahl CEO of Snapdeal, Baba Ramdev a guru and founder of Patanjali, globally renowned spiritual guide and mentor BK sister Shivani, Indian-American billionaire businessman and one of the first investors in Google Mr Ram Shriram, Ritesh Agarwal, Founder and CEO of OYO Rooms are some of the famous personalities who will be delivering talks on a multitude of topics this E-Summit.
Another major highlight to look out for is “The Ten Minute Million” or more popularly known as TTMM. The shortlisted startups will get a chance to make a 10-minute pitch in front of a panel of India’s best angel investors, followed by an on-the-spot decision on financial backing.
The unique feature here is that all the selected startups have a chance to secure the backing of Rs. 20 lakh and beyond.
The Content Creation Conclave aims to bring media experts, journalists and web creators in different fields together and opportunities to learn from the best in each field.
Covering a range of topics from AI for content creation, SEO/Digital Marketing, and content writing, these talks and workshops will guide you towards a newer and creative side of entrepreneurship.
The R&D Conclave is a platform where young startup owners and innovators come to commercialize their innovation or even to learn starting up with innovation in research. The initiative includes workshops, sessions, internship opportunities for enthusiasts and live project demonstrations.
Networking Arena, Chat with Entrepreneurs and Idea Validation are a few promising initiatives that will bring every startup, investor, mentor, entrepreneur, student and professional under one platform and help them interact with people from all walks of life and get guidance from industry experts, all from the comfort of your homes.
IIT Bombay has not backed down a bit to make the beginners’ journey to the startup world, a smooth one.
With the Internship and Job Fair that connects startup enthusiast graduates and undergraduates to the startups so that they get the relevant experience in their desired field to Seed Stars which provides smaller startups with an opportunity to gain VC funding for scaling their product across different markets only by pitching and negotiating in front of a renowned panel of investors, E-Cell has it all covered.
