satisfy the demands of consumers and businesses, or integrate existing
technologies creatively and innovatively. This zone is dedicated to such
startups.

Social entrepreneurs combine commerce and social issues in a
way that improves the lives of people connected to the cause. They don’t
measure their success in terms of profit alone – success to social
entrepreneurs means that they have improved the world, however they define
that.

The Agriculture Industry employs about 40 percent of the
world population. This sector is influencing many entrepreneurs and is
creating a wave of Agri-Tech based startups.
4. Lifestyle Zone

sustain livehood, or a quick fix or tweak that can ease lives of various
individual – everyone wants a healthy, hassle free life, and these startups
will make it the perfect enabler.
5. Student Startups
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are self-made billionaires
who made their fortunes in tech and they started their businesses while they
were still students. There are no boundaries to being an entrepreneur, but they
never stopped believing in themselves.
6. Startup Internship
Working for a Startup can be more valuable than a Fortune100
company. A student with little proficiency might end up bagging the Internship
which will add value to their career at a very early stage. Interns bring in a
lot of energy and are more competitive than a regular hire at
times.
7. Investor Zone
Startups need a catalyst to accelerate their development. Seed
investment, Angel Funding, Connections, Mentorship are much needed attributes
from an Investor. They support as a backbone to the entrepreneur.There are also
dedicated mentors who will guide students who just have an idea and don’t know
how to proceed further.
