NEW DELHI:
Kejriwal Government’s Business Blasters program has become a huge hit not only in Delhi but across the country. Through this program, Delhi Government’s schools are all set to produce CEOs of the future. To provide a bigger platform to budding entrepreneurs, the Delhi Government will hold “Business Blasters Investment Summit and Expo” on March 5, at Thyagraj Stadium. During the mega event more than 100 selected business ideas by student entrepreneurs will be showcased. This will be an opportunity for the investors visiting at the summit to directly invest in the projects of their choice. These ideas for the expo have been selected after rigorous assessment by eminent entrepreneurs and experts. Along with the investment for their business ideas, students who will qualify the final round will get the direct admission in state universities like Delhi Technological University (DTU), Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW), Delhi Skills and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) and Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) to pursue Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), said Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia on Monday.
While inviting the investors from all across the country to “Business Blasters Investment Summit and Expo” he added that investors must come and encourage the budding entrepreneurs from Delhi Government Schools. It is important to mention here that these ideas have so much potential in them that many investors who wanted to support these bright budding entrepreneurs have offered the support of more than Rs 12 crores through Business Blasters website. This program has helped in changing the mindset of students.
He mentioned that, this expo will be an opportunity for the investors to meet the CEOs of prominent future companies like Tata, Birla, Infosys, Facebook, Tesla etc and see where they are beginning their journeys from. He added that, even those not willing to invest should come to see how on getting an opportunity students of Delhi government schools are becoming job providers and are contributing to the economy of the nation.
Shri Sisodia added that unemployment is such a major issue in the country that, when a job vacancy with the eligibility of 8th pass criteria is released, most of the applicants are either graduate, post graduate or Phd holders. On assessing the situation, it was observed that today’s generation is lacking an entrepreneurship mindset and thus the Business Blasters program was introduced to inculcate the same.
When the Business Blasters program was telecasted on a national television channel for the first time, Delhi as well as the whole country saw how students of Delhi government schools earned great profits from a small seed money invested in their business ideas. Many investors who wanted to support these bright budding entrepreneurs have offered the support of more than Rs 12 crores through Business Blasters website, said the Deputy Chief Minister.
Business Blasters program is one of the world’s largest startup programs wherein over 3 lakh students of Delhi government schools formed over 51,000 teams and they received seed money of Rs 60 crore. In the first phase of the program, 1000 business ideas were selected at the school, zonal and district levels, with the help of different experts. Thereafter, through a competition more than 100 business ideas have been shortlisted for the Expo. Qualifiers from the expo and those with the higher investment amounts will be given admission in prominent state universities like DTU, DSEU, IGDTUW, NSUT directly.
