The notion of human beings has always been to think and conf orm to a bigger goal in their life. In midst of that pursuit\, they have i ntentionally or unintentionally raised some social issues that in turn sta nd in their way to success. Abhyuday\, IIT Bombay believes that it is the high time now to bring out the best\, smartest and innovative young minds of our country in front of the world where they themselves hold the key to solve numerous challenges that have plagued our society for long. Unfortu nately\, most of the startups built around this fail because they lack the required business plan. Thus\, in order to help such startups\, every yea r they organize Action Plan- a social entrepreneurship competition.
\ nWith Action Plan\, Abhyuday IIT Bombay is trying to promote the concept o f social entrepreneurship. The main aim behind organizing this competition is to encourage our youth to look around for various social issues\, iden tify their root cause and then\, come up with a proper solution to that pa rticular problem. Then\, in the due course of this competition\, the teams are guided to convert their solution into a scalable business model by en couraging various stakeholder interactions\, engaging them with different organizations\, and validating their ideas in the society. It also has a u nique dual mentorship program to help the teams with their ideas. Teams ar e connected with two kinds of mentors: business mentors and technical ment ors. The business mentors help the teams with the business aspects of the solution while technical mentors help the teams get a better insight into the problem they are trying to tackle. Then\, eventually\, Abhyuday IIT Bo mbay provides the teams with a platform where they can pitch their busines s models in front of a panel of country’s leading incubators and investo rs in the social sector\, in order to help them get training and seed fund ing opportunities for further development. Apart from this\, there are man y other opportunities like networking with top entrepreneurs from our judg ing panel\, and also a cash prize worth INR 1 Lakh at stake for the partic ipants.
\nWaste Management\, Health Care\, Women Empowerment\, Pollut ion\, Renewable Resources\, Financial Inclusion\, Agricultural\, Education \, Water Management and Employability are the ten sectors where you can an alyse the problems and come up with your own idea of a solution in a start up and turn it into reality.
\nSo\, if you feel you have an idea or a small startup of your own that has the potential of doing good for the so ciety and you need a roadmap on how to turn it into a successful business\ , you must consider participating in Action Plan.
