Kalpavriksha is the flagship social business plan competition of Ahvan, the management fest of IIM Indore. Kalpavriksha strives to create a positive societal impact by providing a forum for self sustainable business plans which seek to sensitize its participants about the responsibility and the potential difference they can make. The competition gives an opportunity to students from select B-schools and young social enterprises across India to showcase their ideas, talent and creativity and battle it out for the top honour and a prize money of INR 1,50,000.
There are four phases in the competition and the registrations close on the 15th of Oct 2013. The finalists get a chance to access LivePlan Software, get mentored by industry experts to refine their business plan and engage with the Artha Platform (http://www.arthaplatform.com/) .
