Entrepreneurship Summit 2009 at IIT Bombay to Aim at Empowering Entrepreneurs
On February 7, 2009

The Entrepreneurship Summit is a unique initiative by E-Cell, IIT Bombay, which serves as a social forum for the entrepreneurial community, bringing together aspiring entrepreneurs, start-ups, successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and academicians,

on a common platform to interact and help build successful enterprises.

This year, the Summit aims at Empowering Entrepreneurs - looking into major issues faced by them, inspiring them through the stories of the successful ventures before theirs, and supporting them through different activities in the day, E-Summit hopes to take all its participants to the next entrepreneurial step.

E-Summit is in effect a day-long networking forum and E-Summit '09 will include panel discussions as well as workshops for aspiring and budding entrepreneurs along with the intensive mentoring program.

Workshops at E-Summit '09 will emphasize on critical issues faced by entrepreneurs and start-ups at early stages of development, and will be taken by the best in the biz! They will cover critical issues of starting up, from innovation to brand building and funding. These are going to be exclusively designed for the participants in E-Summit.

With speakers like Mr. Kanwal Rekhi, Mr. Alyque Padamsee, Mr. Terence Hart, Mr. Ashok Wadhwa, Mr. R. Balki, Ms. Anjali Bansal, and many more, we expect the event to be abuzz with great discussions.

E-Summit '09 will also host the finals of Eureka '08, Asia's largest Business Plan Competition. The presentation of the finalists as well as the felicitation of the winners happens on this day!

The event also gives a platform to entrepreneurs to display their start-ups and their products and services to the most enthusiastic students, the most helpful experienced entrepreneurs and the most visionary of the venture capitalists in our Start-up Showcase.

The Investor Pitch is unique as it provides specifically for seed funding or early stage funding which is the most scarce form of funding available in India and something that is necessary in order to sustain a generation of entrepreneurs. It is the quickest 5 Crore that can be earned, in 5 minutes of a pitch.

Investor Pitch at the E-Summit '09 is second in a row and hosts an even bigger panel of Venture Capitalist Partners like Seedfund, Nexus India Capital, Ojas Ventures, Waygate Capital, Milagrow Ventures, Indian Angel Network, Mumbai Angels, Canaan Partners, Frontline Ventures, Helion Ventures, Navam Capital, as well as Blue Run Ventures and Blue River Capital.
