Summary

Run jointly with the Entrepreneurship Development Cell for first-year CSE students: a session on entrepreneurship, innovation, incubation and marketing, followed by InnoVenture, a pitching activity where teams had fifteen minutes to research a problem, shape an idea and present it. One team built a full presentation inside that window. Team VDK won, Team Nexus were runners-up, and Team Byte Club took a special mention.

What we explored

  • 01

    What entrepreneurship, innovation, incubation and marketing actually involve

  • 02

    How CSI and the EDC work, and what students can take part in

  • 03

    Turning a problem you have noticed into an idea worth pitching

  • 04

    Researching, shaping and presenting that idea in fifteen minutes

  • 05

    Pitching to coordinators and judges, and answering for the idea afterwards

Speaker

Founder and CEO, Trouvaille Eunoia

Sessions at the chapter are led by people doing the work — practitioners, researchers and senior students who bring the problem, not just the slides.
