IIM-Bangalore will hold the second edition of its entrepreneurship summit Eximius ‘09 on the 15th this month. The two-day event, which aims at providing the budding entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their ideas, will have venture capital workshops, speaker series and panel discussion centering around entrepreneurship.

The summit this year will have two flagship events, Genesis and Ingen. Genesis will provide first time entrepreneurs a platform to pitch their business ideas to venture capitalists, in a one-on-one session. The theme of Ingen, the business plan contest this year will be 'small is big’. The selected finalists will be allotted mentors to fine-tune their business plans which will be presented to a panel of judges, the B-school said in a statement.

 

In addition to the flagship events, Eximius ’09 is introducing a ‘start-up fair’ where the selected start-ups will be given a chance to showcase their venture. This fair gives an exposure to students about the start-up culture and also gives start-ups an access to the managerial talent thus bridging the gap between B-schools and start-ups. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, CMD of Biocon, and Sudhir Sethi, founder and CMD of IDG Ventures India, will be keynote speakers on the occasion.
