The Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) of MET Institute of Management conducted the Inter/Intra Institutional Startup Competition on 16th April 2026, fostering entrepreneurial spirit amongst MMS students.

The event was graced by esteemed guests, Ms. Jashika Dhillon, Founder of Shika – India’s Spiciest Food Brand, and Mr. Amit Rathi, Co-founder of Anvex.ai. Their insights and guidance added immense value to the competition.

Students were divided into groups at the beginning of the semester to develop their innovative startup ideas. After a rigorous evaluation process, the top 10 teams were shortlisted. These selected teams presented their startup concepts in front of the panel of judges, showcasing creativity, business acumen, and problem-solving abilities.

The competition provided a dynamic platform for students to think innovatively, collaborate effectively, and gain real-world exposure to pitching ideas. Adding to the spirit of student-led innovation, the trophies for the competition were custom-designed by Team Crochet Social, reflecting their creative capabilities and presenting their own product contribution as part of the event ecosystem.
