Anthah Prerana: A business plan contest with a difference

The Bangalore chapter of The Indus Entrepreneurs, a global entrepreneurial network is launching a business plan competition with a difference.

Termed Anthah Prerana, the month long initiative aims to identify entrepreneurs based on their ability to articulate a vision for a venture that can offer innovative business models as well as benefit to society.

Apart from cash prizes to winners in four categories ranging from social ventures focused on domestic or global markets as well as commercial businesses that are aimed at local or overseas clientele, the competition will also offer intensive mentoring.

The list of activities in the course of the programme includes attending a Gurukul like Bootcampwhere successful entrepreneurs share their stories in a residential camp that will be spread over three days.

The Bootcamp will be followed by a three-month long acceleration program that will be supported by other partners in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Last date for registrations: November 5, 2013.
