‘Udbhavânâ 2014’ seeks to encourage entrepreneurially-oriented school students to develop their ideas and present them in a convincing manner. As part of this, the competition intends to provide students with a forum to develop skills in show-casing their ideas to potential investors and partners, in order to receive constructive feedback that will increase the probability of future success. Students who participate will have the opportunity to learn how to:

• Create a novel idea for a new approach, product, service, or venture.
• Present an idea to others, clearly and concisely, in a ten-minute presentation.
• Present themselves and their ideas in a concise and effective manner, conveying a sense of passion and a commitment to making a difference in the world.
• Capture and retain the attention of possible sponsors, investors, or other potential supporters.
