The Azim Premji University Social Enterprise cell organises the “National level Social
enterprise Idea challenge” among college and University students across India.
The Cell organizes the Idea Challenge every year with a purpose to provide students an
opportunity to explore social entrepreneurship and share their innovative ideas in a rigorous
and competitive manner. This is also a great networking platform for young minds to meet
each other, exchange thoughts and get noticed by some of the early stage mentors and
investors. The winning teams are awarded with certificates and prize money.
The 4 th edition of the Idea Challenge will be announced in July 2019 – please visit this page
for more details soon
