Eureka! 2006, IIT Bombay

For those who came in late MyZus was the winner of the Business Plan Competition in 2000, IITB and Kresit are one of the best things to have happened to entrepreneurs. IITB provides all the initial startup requirements office space, compy's and other basic infrastructure, access to VC's and Tech resources and mainly it gives your Start-up the brand IITB, In return IITB takes a small percent of the equity for all the initial handholding and incubation.

If you are fed up of working for companies where your feel you're being wasted or generally fedup with the shady politics and general sucking-up that goes on, I think you should give Entrepreneurship a try, I genuinely think there is no better way to do a start-up other than Eureka at IITB.

Eureka! is the international business plan competition organized by The Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Bombay is inviting entries for Eureka! 2006. The deadline for First Round – Submission of Executive Summary, is 15th January 2006.
