By taking part in the Start Up Accelerator Pitch competition, hosted by Graphite GTC at this year's IITD (Indian Institute of Technology Delhi) Tryst 2022 conference, participants learned the basics of turning a business idea into a fully developed startup pitch. Participants received real-time feedback from our esteemed guest judges. The judges helped students craft their message and delivery to make their presentation a perfect fit for investors. After the presenters were assessed, 3 winners were awarded prizes worth INR 2 lacs with the possibility of investment by the Angel Investor Panel.
The start-up that finished in first place was “Circle”, founded by Bhvaya Kumar Garg, and received the grand prize of 100,000 INR. The start-up that finished in second place was “Poccet Lab”, founded by Abhinav Gupta, and received a total of 50,000 INR. Last but not least, finishing in third place was the start-up “Travezco”, founded by Rupesh Taneja, and received a total of 25,000 INR. We thank all of the participants for coming out and attending this event, and wish them luck with their start-ups.
