The spirit of entrepreneurship aligns closely with India’s young demographic – a dynamic segment that is always questioning the status quo, is not risk averse and is always open to challenges. As an institution of eminence, our endeavour was to bring together this group of young minds who share these values and this led to us launching InQube – an initiative to help students transform into promising entrepreneurs.”

It began with a preliminary round held online for all registered participants to participate in.
