Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled his “Startup India, Stand Up India” initiative on January 16. Ahead of that, the Wharton School held its India Startup Competition in Mumbai on January 5. The 20th Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF) hosted the Startup Competition for the third year in a row to promote entrepreneurship in the country.
“The WIEF Startup Competition identifies India’s next set of up-and-coming companies. It allows startups in India to gain exposure to investors, customers, mentors and the media,” says Vikram Arumilli, one of the co-chairs of WIEF 2016 and a second-year MBA student at Wharton.
