Eureka! is Asia's largest B-Model competition held by E-Cell IIT Bombay accredited independently by CNN and Thomson Reuters. Over the 19 years of its existence, teams registering for Eureka! have been competing for prizes worth INR 5 Million at stake with excellent networking opportunities in India and the Silicon Valley! “Eureka!” is a 5-month long heuristic experience.

“As students, when we started SocialCops, business plan competitions played an important role in bringing us in front of mentors who could help with networks and connections. Winning such competitions as Eureka! also gave us the much-needed credibility to be taken seriously right out of college.”  -SocialCops Co-founders Varun Banka & Prukalpa Sankar.
