Their presence greatly enhanced the stature of the event.
One of the most talked-about moments was when two startups received a grant of ₹10 lakh under the Ministry of Electronics and IT’s “Utprerak Yojana”:
AesenraiAI, working on agentic AI-based workplace automation
KisanVan, a dedicated agritech platform for farmers
These startups were awarded with formal cheques on stage—an inspiring moment for young innovators across India.
The Startup Pitching Session was conducted in three rounds—Screening, Semifinal, and Grand Finale. Finalists presented their ideas before experts and investors, with several teams winning cash prizes up to ₹20,000. More than a competition, this platform enabled networking, investor connections, and access to government initiatives.
