At a
time when the startup ecosystem in India is in an overdrive, the Wharton
India Economic Forum (WIEF), which kicks off in Philadelphia on
February 22, is creating a platform for Indian entrepreneurs to help
make their ideas flourish and get funded. What's more, for the first
time this year it will also hold a competition that will feature
innovative India-focused startups.
The startup competition at this year's WIEF intends to promote Indian entrepreneurship by building a robust platform that encourages ideas exchange and collaboration across to schools and alumni networks in the US and India. The startup competition comprises two separate innovation tournaments for early-stage ideas and post-proof of concept startups, which was launched on November 24 last year. Ten finalists across the post-proof of concept and idea categories were chosen on January 30, 2014. Winning entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to pitch to a panel of venture capital investors and established entrepreneurs on the day of the conference and will compete for prize money of up to $10,000.
