Entrepreneurship and start-up culture is at its peak in India.

To enhance the entrepreneurial spirit even further, BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus organized Coalescence ’15 in association with Intelliber on 5-6th September. Coalescence enticed youth from all over the country with a total of more than 3,000 attendees.

The aim of the event was to provide a platform for entrepreneurial ideas in order to ultimately receive funding and mentorship from renowned incubators and accelerators as well as to provide an opportunity to interact with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in India.

The final round of the business plan competition at Coalescence took place with 20 teams competing in various categories, such as social entrepreneurship. The three winning startups were Fizzible, Pune and Greensole won the competition in their respective categories.

To improve the entrepreneur’s art of pitching to investors, Coalescence also held numerous workshops. Pranay Gupta, from 91springboard, organized one of the interactive workshops on pitching. In addition, another workshop held by Knolskape provided participants with the fundamentals of building a business from scratch.

As Coalescence also invited top speakers from India, the event was full of helpful advice for students, recent graduates and upcoming entrepreneurs. The workshops, the business plan competition as well as the speeches and panel discussions helped participants learn more in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.
