After a series of amazingly educative seminars on the basics of entrepreneurship,TiE Chandigarh program stepped up with the First Practical session on PitchDeck where students presented a quick overview of a their business plans. The PitchDeck was done through the sequence of events comprising of a short presentation and a small Question/ Answer round by the fellow young entrepreneurs and the jury. We witnessed some really fantastic pitches all of which were aimed towards making the life easier and simple.

Many of the ideas presented Artificial intelligence to make a new product while some of them were remarkable in conserving the existing resources. All the ideas presented were solving a problem – which is an absolute necessity for a startup to succeed. We all were pleasantly surprised by the amount of effort students put in for coming up with such amazing ideas to solve day to day problems.

The Pitch by Kaira, on preserving the Memories of grandparents in a Legacy Box which can have their valuable items to pass to the younger generation, is worth mentioning. The mentors were impressed with the purity of the idea itself. A myriad of ideas were Environment centred as they tried to conserve the Natural Resources like Water bodies as unveiled by Agamjot in her PitchDeck on Lifesupporters.

The Jury of Session I of PitchDeck included Ms.Ritika Singh , CEO, Kontent Factory, Mr.Harit Mohan,CEO Signicent Technologies and Mr. Hitesh Kumar Gulati, Change and Organisational Development Consultant. The involvement of these established entrepreneurs certainly helped students to learn a tonne about Sharpening the Pitches. The Part I of PitchDeck by students ended up on a very positive note with many more exciting Pitches to be unfolded. 

In the second session of Pitch Presentation, many students improvised their previous presentations and came up with even better and practical ideas . The mentors had given 2 ultimate Guru Mantras to the students for good ideation,i.e Scalability and Sustainability of the Startup. This Session witnessed a good application of this GuruMantra with a great idea on Rejuvenation of Old Libraries across the city through a mobile application and production of fresh vegetables and fruits through instore farming to name a few. Kudos to the mentors to have developed the students to such an extent where they can come up with such ideas and moving forward to give them a continuous support. To boost the confidence of the children, TiE Chandigarh organised a session by Taranjeet Singh Bhamra,CEO of AgNext to share his journey with the Young Entrepreneurs. He urged the students to work on the Intrinsic Factors which include the Personality and Attitude to succeed in life.

Mr Taranjeet Singh de-abbreviated the word PITCH as, P- Personality I-Intellingensia T- Technology C- Clarity H- Honesty This provided students an insight into what exactly are the most important factors for a Pitch. The admiring personality of Mr.Bhamra motivated each and every student to achieve their goal. A small token of Appreciation was conveyed by Mr.Munish Jauhar ,CEO and Founder GrayCell Technologies to Mr.Bhamra for sparing his valuable time to guide our young entrepreneurs.
