Recently, I had the pleasure of being invited by the Entrepreneurship Cell at NIT Hamirpur.
The E-Cell, a student-run non-profit, pulled off a stellar three-day event from April 5th to 7th, named E-Summit 2024. During the event, I had the privilege of judging startup pitches.
We had around 15 teams pitching their startup ideas. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm of these budding entrepreneurs, even if some ideas were still in their early stages.
A few ideas really caught our eye. Like this one app tailored for chess enthusiasts, allowing players to analyse their game moves right from their mobile device. Genius, especially considering the cost of digital chess boards! Then there was the bio-reactor concept, using algae to produce oxygen from carbon dioxide. It was about innovation with a green twist!
And then there was this foot pressure measurement idea, offering personalised solutions for knee and leg issues. A game-changer for athletes and beyond.
The campus itself was stunning, and my stay at the guest house was pleasant and the students were cordial.
Unfortunately, time flew by, and I missed out on meeting some other faculty members but I did have the chance to connect with entrepreneurs like Ankush Barjata, Iti Rawat, Devyant Bhardwaj, and Utkarsh from Mumbai.
All in all, it was a refreshing break from the routine, filled with promising ideas and warm hospitality. Until next time, NIT Hamirpur!
