Ecopreneurs: Nirman is a premier design and entrepreneurship competition that challenges participants to integrate traditional wisdom (“Roots”) with modern engineering (“Tech”). The event promotes innovation that respects heritage while leveraging advanced technology.
It focuses on “self-generating” solutions that are environmentally regenerative and economically sustainable. Projects must create long-term ecological impact while maintaining financial viability.
Participants are required to develop a strong technical design or working prototype. Feasibility, functionality, and implementation strategy are key evaluation criteria.
The competition emphasizes entrepreneurial thinking, encouraging clear revenue models and scalability plans. Teams must demonstrate how their solution sustains itself over time.
Shortlisted teams deliver a concise and impactful elevator pitch. Clear articulation of problem, solution, and impact is essential to capture judges’ attention.
An in-depth discussion and Q&A session follows the presentation. Judges assess conceptual clarity, technical depth, adaptability, and overall business understanding.
