Sankalp 2009-10 is Launched!!!

Sankalp is an opportunity for management students to use their creativity and innovativeness to come up with a viable business plan. Sankalp 2009-10 invites entries from management students who do not see the sense in earning money for someone else and would like to go at it alone. So get up, and develop that idea of yours and unleash the spirit of enterprise in you.


And the unique proposition of Sankalp is that if the VCs judging the event commit that if the winning entry meets their investment criteria, they would even fund the idea to a certain extent.


Sankalp 2008-09:
Sankalp 2008-09 had one of India's foremost Venture Capitalists 'JumpStartUp' judging the event. The potential amount they were ready to put in the winning B-Plan (subject to conditions) was upwards of Rs. 1 crore.


Sankalp 2009-10 in brief:
Each participating team can have a maximum of 3 members. In the first stage, each team will have to register themselves in this registration link. Each team will then have to submit an executive summary in soft copy to atharva.tapmi@gmail.com. Based on the executive summary, teams will be shortlisted for the next stage.


In stage II, the shortlisted teams will have to submit their entire business plan in a hard and soft copy to the Atharva Team. Based on the complete business plan, a final shortlist will be released.
