The Delhi Government will organise its first of its kind Business Blasters Investment Summit at the Thyagaraj Stadium on March 5, in which over 100 top business ideas from Government school students will be showcased to the investors, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Monday.
According to Sisodia, through this programme, the Delhi Government's schools are all set to produce CEOs of the future. "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," said Sisodia.
"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 the Deputy CM.
While inviting the investors from all across the country to "Business Blasters Investment Summit and Expo", Sisodia said investors must come and encourage the budding entrepreneurs from Delhi Government Schools.
Sisodia said 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. "Even those not willing to invest should come to see how on getting an opportunity students of the Delhi Government schools are becoming job providers and are contributing to the economy of the nation," said Sisodia.
He said unemployment is such a major issue in the country that, when a job vacancy with the eligibility of eight 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 programme was introduced to inculcate the same," said Sisodia.
"When the Business Blasters programme 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 Sisodia.
