About


Calling all those with a will in their hearts, and a plan to make it big. Our flagship event, iDeas, the International Business Plan Competition, is fertile breeding ground for the future Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis of the country. The competition attracts participation from Indian institutes of repute such as the IITs and IIMs, as well as from renowned institutions abroad, Stanford University’s Graduate School Of Business, Purdue University and National University Of Singapore to name a few. iDeas has fostered successful start-ups like Kalzoom Technologies, Transversal E-Networks and Geo-X.

 

 

This year, we take iDeas to the next level, forging newer partnerships with industry and academia.
