E-PITCH

'E-Pitch' is the flagship event at ENGINEER 2011 held in partnership with IIM B and NSRCEL. An idea conceived by the students of E-FOREA,E-CELL NITK (www.eforea.org), E-PITCH provides the perfect platform for students to put forth their business ideas. The last edition of   E-Pitch saw over 125 entries with the winners being offered incubation at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore.

 

It provides a perfect head-start for student entrepreneurs and is open to all college students. The cornerstone feature of the competition is the mentorship support offered by NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore. The finalists also bag a direct entry to Next Big Idea (www.nextbigidea.in), one of the country’s largest B-Plan contests organized by IIM B leading onto the UC Berkeley Global Entrepreneurship Challenge.
