The event seeks to kindle the entrepreneurial spirit in students and help them learn about the challenges involved in setting up new ventures.

“Similar to previous editions of the fair, each startup will be setting up a stall at the fair in order to interact with students. This time, the organisers have introduced a ‘webinar’ in order to facilitate the participation of students who will be unable to remain present at the IIMA campus due to logistical or other constraints,” it states.

Each of the participating startups will be allowed to make a 20-minute presentation through the day over the webinar. This year’s Entre Fair has attracted more than 15 startups in different stages of growth, from a wide range of sectors such as healthcare, e-commerce, consulting and education, it states.
