Speaking of this achievement, Tarun Agarwal said, “We were so pleased to be able to work together as Business and Computing students to showcase our innovative concept, which is still in the ideation phase. We never could have done it without the invaluable support of the TBC Business Incubation Centre Lead, Mr Subodh Rupakheti, who helped us to stand out amongst some truly amazing competition.”
Throughout the competition, the students engaged with industry leaders and fellow entrepreneurs who provided unparalleled networking opportunities, enriching discussions, and valuable insights into the Indian business landscape.

"The collaboration with LEAD College of Management marks a significant milestone for us, as it opens up new avenues for cross-collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of a robust entrepreneurship ecosystem."
