IBA Center for Entrepreneurial Development, Innovation and Research is inviting students to bring their startup ideas to life through I-Venture, a Student Ventures Exhibition scheduled for September 16 at IBA Main Campus. The event gives students a structured platform to showcase early stage startup ideas, moving concepts sitting in personal notes or informal discussions into a public presentation format.

Participants at I-Venture will have the opportunity to present their ventures and receive feedback from both peers and faculty, a format designed to sharpen ideas through direct critique rather than passive evaluation. The exhibition also positions participating students among IBA’s recognized student innovators, adding a layer of institutional visibility for founders at the earliest stages of building a venture.

Registration for the event costs Rs. 3,000 per participant, with space limited to 25 startups on a first come basis, encouraging early sign up from interested students. Applicants who register successfully will receive a confirmation email, and interested students can register through the link https://lnkd.in/dG74SvfE.

The event continues IBA CEDIR’s long running I-Venture series, which has previously served as an early testing ground for student led ventures before they move into more formal incubation or acceleration programmes. By combining a low registration cost with a capped number of exhibitor slots, the initiative is structured to draw a focused pool of early stage founders looking to validate ideas within IBA’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
