student’s ideas into business ventures. The course began with idea generation
where through a combination of various experiential learning modules that
unlocked the student’s creative potential, the batch managed to generate a
whopping 2681 unique business ideas, after mapping the right idea to the right
student through a scientific method, the students were then sent to market to
validate the idea for its viability. Post that, in the incubation centre the idea was
given shape to convert it into a business and now they have reached a stage
where they are ready to take it to the market & MIDAS BAZAAR is the first
platform where they can showcase their ideas to the world!
