Through 'Mashup' existing start-ups and budding entrepreneurs are provided with a unique platform to come up with workable business plan. In this grim economic period, financial experts and economists are banking on young and upcoming entrepreneurs to hold up Indian economy. There is a serious need for experienced hands to support budding entrepreneurial ventures. A Competition like Mashup is aimed at mentoring glocal entrepreneurs who can go global and think local.
Samarth
'Samarth', is the ultimate competition aimed at testing the managerial skills of participants to analyse their ability to face genuine business problems. It will be an unparalleled display of managerial prowess by participants from around the country trying to observe, identify and solve, through 7 different stages over the three days of the festival. The different stages symbolize journey of a business venture from inception to execution.
