| 1 | 1 | 1st Preference | Aagam Ashish Shah | 25BCE1169 | 2nd Year | In-progress | Pending | 2026-08-04 | I want to join MIC because I enjoy learning by working on real ideas and collaborating with people who share similar interests. I believe being part of a community where people constantly build, innovate, and exchange ideas is one of the best ways to grow. I've always been looking for opportunities to try something new, step out of my zone, and improve my problem solving and teamwork skills. I think MIC would give me that environment through its events, projects, and the people I'd get to work with. Not joining just to be a member of another club. I genuinely want to learn, contribute wherever I can, and make the most of the opportunities and experiences that MIC has to offer. | I'm interested in joining the Entrepreneurship department because I enjoy thinking about problems and exploring ways to solve them. Over the past year, I've become more curious about how ideas turn into real products and businesses, and I want to learn that process and be around people who have similar interests. I also enjoy meeting new people, discussing ideas, and working in teams. I believe this department will give me opportunities to learn through experiences, contribute to meaningful initiatives, and interact with people who challenge me to think differently. At the same time, I'd love to contribute my own ideas and experiences wherever I can. | Yes, I participated in a Pitch-a-thon event last year, where each team presented their startup idea to the audience. Instead of a traditional judging panel, the audience acted as "sharks" and invested virtual money into the ideas they found most promising. It was my first experience pitching an idea in front of a crowd, and I really enjoyed it. I realized that along with a good idea, you also need to communicate it clearly and convince people why it's worth believing in. The experience sparked my interest in entrepreneurship even more, and since then I've been looking for more opportunities to learn and improve. | I think being a part of the Entrepreneurship department will help me learn beyond what a classroom can offer. I'll get the chance to interact with people who have different ideas and experiences, and understand how startups and businesses actually grow. I'm also looking to connect with people who are interested in building products and startups. Since I'm working on my own idea, I'd love to meet like minded people who I can collaborate with, learn from, and maybe even build something together. Most importantly, I want to be in an environment where I can keep learning, contribute where I can, and be around people with the same mindset. | One example that comes to mind is Kodak. I know it wasn't just a startup but a giant company, but they messed up during making an important decision, which eventually led to it's collapse. What's interesting is that Kodak actually developed one of the first digital cameras, but the company chose not to focus on it because it feared it would hurt its existing film business. By the time it decided to embrace digital photography, competitors had already taken the lead. If I were in that position, I would have invested in digital technology much earlier instead of trying to protect the old business. I believe adapting to changing customer needs is more important than holding on to what's currently successful. Even if it meant disrupting my own product, I'd rather lead that change than let someone else do it. Also, as we move forward, there will be changes in preferences and advancements in technology, it's in our hands if we want to go ahead with it together, or stay where we are. | I believe I can contribute by bringing enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to take initiative. I've had the opportunity to host startup related events and interact with founders, speakers, and students, which has helped me become comfortable communicating with people and coordinating events. I'm also looking to connect with people who are interested in building products and startups. Since I'm working on my own idea, I'd love to meet like minded people who I can collaborate with, learn from, and maybe even build something together. Most importantly, I want to be someone who actively contributes to the community whether that's helping organize events, sharing ideas, brainstorming, or simply creating an environment where people feel comfortable learning from each other. | Yes, I agree | Yes, I agree | Yes, I agree | I'd probably be Aman Gupta. What I like about him is that he understands not just the product, but also the brand and the people behind it. He knows how important marketing, storytelling, and building a community are for a startup. I also like that he's approachable and practical. He feels like a big brother, asks tough questions when needed but also encourages founders instead of just pointing out flaws. If I ever become an investor, I'd want to support founders in a similar way, by helping them build better products and stronger brands, not just by providing funding. | |||||
| 2 | 2 | 1st Preference | Aayush Ganesh | 25BCE1883 | 2nd Year | In-progress | Pending | 2026-08-12 | MIC is one of THE clubs in VIT, and I would definitely like to be a part of one of the most prestigious, highly regarded clubs. I am Aayush Ganesh, currently in my second year, aspiring to be better every day. Entrepreneurship struck me as an important skill that everybody must learn in life, and it intrigues me. I hope I pitched it right?? Thank you for the opportunity, and excited to meet you guys in the interview round! | Okay, hear me out. So the only reason I have even thought about this is that I hate having to cut my nails for around 15 minutes, and sometimes we cut them so deep that they burn each time something hot or spicy touches them. What if we build a nail trimmer where I connect 5 clippers to a single actuator, and each clipper is adjustable according to the finger length and width of your hand? So that once adjusted for the first time, each time we clip our nails, it will take a maximum of 15 seconds. I am aware that this might be overkill, but what's the limit to innovation? | I have noticed that residents in my community rely a lot on grocery delivery apps. There is a small grocery store inside the community, but it cannot serve all the residents. Sometimes, the delivery partner might be late due to harsh weather and other unexpected delays. What I had thought was a dedicated grocery delivery system within the community, with a warehouse in it and an app for residents to place orders. Part-time students or residents can deliver orders to apartments and receive incentives, enabling faster, reliable, and community-driven grocery delivery. | No | Moderate — I understand the basics | ||||||||||

I want to learn more about technology and develop my enterpreneurship passion. I want to know things are build up from scratch. | Yeah I have one startup on which I am currently working. I have idea of developing platform where anyone can book tourist guide within 15-20 minutes to make their journey more easier and memorable. | In today's India as we all know that tourism is expanding very rapidly. But imagine yourself going to a place where you are don't aware of geniune tourist places and you also don't understand the local language, so in this case your journey will become tougher . And the local guide which are available they charge arbitrary. So I have solution for this , I want to develop a platform where any tourist visiting a place will be able to book a verified local tour guide who will speak his language and will be aware of the city's culture and tourist places. This will boost the Indian tourism. | No | Moderate — I understand the basics | ||||||||||

I want to learn the skills required to create value, lead a team and turn ideas into successful ventures. | I do not have any prior experience with entrepreneurship but I am curious and excited to learn. | Being a part of the entrepreneurship department will help me develop skills and mindset I need to face the real-world challenges. It will also help me network with like-minded and build a community. | A startup idea that I believed had a great potential but failed is MoviePass. It was a very good idea but the execution was not handled properly. Some changes I would have made are to increase the cost of the subscription and limiting the number of movies a user can see in a month. | I will contribute by being an active member of the community, participating in events and collaborating with others. I believe this will not only help me grow but I believe my enthusiasm and friendly nature would make me a fun and supportive addition to the community. | Yes, I agree | Yes, I agree | Yes, I agree | I would choose Piyush Bansal because I admire his calm and practical approach. He listens carefully to entrepreneurs, asks thoughtful questions, and explains his investment decisions with clear business reasoning. I appreciate the way he gives constructive feedback while remaining respectful, and that is a quality I would like to develop as an entrepreneur. | |||||

It will be a pleasure to join and work with some greapt people...Make connections. And the main point. Interest and curiousness to learn. Opportunities and for fun too. MIC is the best ig. | Not yet but I find many problems in our campus as well as in the outer world(outside campus) and I would love to work on them and create something very helpful and special. | Messes cook in bulk and throw away massive uneaten food at closing time. Meanwhile just some hours later students studying late are starving and maybe spend too much money on snacks and food.

| 7 | 7 | 1st Preference | Archisman Jha | 26BCE5223 | 1st Year | In-progress | Pending | 2026-08-12 | I would like to join MIC because I wanted to join such a club which would help me elevate my skills in both core and non core subjects. According to me this is the best platform in which I could achieve this seamlessly. Another reason could be as the BRAND value of Microsoft of is to huge. Being the part of a big brand/community boosts self esteem in one individual. | Yea I run my own startup for about a year and half in which I was the one who was managing logistics to marketing to distribution . This has made me understand the idea of how a startup works and the challenges that one faces in that time period/phase. | I would say an app which would help the students by providing them the time taken from one place to another in different ways around the campus( each having it different ETA.) This could be helpful for students to move from one Academic block to another in the fastest and easiest route, and even finding which route has congestion while being few minutes away from that location | Yes | To be honest I was the one who was managing everything from business to marketing to logistics. It was both fun and frustrating as I kept getting the calls from customers/ retailers which definitely drained my energy and sometimes even affected with my academics. But still I did learn a lot about how to have effective communication skills and how to present your product to the customers/ seller in a appealing way without being "EXTRA" in anything whether it be trying to oversell your product | Moderate — I understand the basics | |||||||||
| 8 | 8 | 1st Preference | Arna Panda | 25BLC1312 | 2nd Year | In-progress | Pending | 2026-08-08 | I’ve been getting more interested in entrepreneurship through my work in E-Cell, and I’d like to explore that interest beyond just one club. I enjoy being around ideas, figuring out whether they can actually work, and understanding how people turn them into something real. One of the main reasons I’m interested in MIC’s Entrepreneurship department is for the exposure, the opportunity to meet people , build a strong network within and outside the college, and learn from people who have different experiences in entrepreneurship and innovation. Since I'm gonna be doing an MBA after B.tech, I feel this is a very appropriate department for me to join. | I’ve thought about having a proper pharmacy service on college campuses, especially for residential colleges. The idea is to have a pharmacy that works alongside the existing infirmary and gives students easier access to medicines and basic healthcare products. It could also have an option to order medicines and get them delivered within campus. I’d initially focus on colleges where students don’t have easy access to a pharmacy nearby. | I’ve thought about setting up a proper pharmacy store on campus, integrated with the existing infirmary. Our college has got the most generic medicines so I feel like a store with specific medicines would be a huge help. The idea would be to have a well-stocked, professionally managed pharmacy on campus where students can conveniently access commonly needed healthcare products. It could work alongside the infirmary to make healthcare more accessible to students. | Yes | As Lead of Finance and Sponsorships, I’ve gained experience in finance, outreach, sponsorships, and networking. I’ve learned how to approach companies professionally and communicate with founders. Apart from E-Cell, I’m part of the Sales and Marketing team at Admrls and CrftHQ, where I’ve learned to understand what companies need and build pitches around their requirements. This has helped me understand the importance of execution, market understanding, and networking in startups. | Beginner — I'm learning | |||||||||
| 9 | 9 | 1st Preference | Asvanthica Kanagaraj | 26BEL1134 | 1st Year | In-progress | Pending | 2026-08-11 | I want to join MIC because it seems like an environment where technology, ideas, and people come together to actually create things rather than staying at the discussion stage. I'm particularly drawn to opportunities where I can work with people from different interests, challenge ideas, and learn by being involved in real projects and initiatives. My experiences with MUN and projects like LifeLanes have made me enjoy problem-solving, collaboration, and exploring how ideas can be turned into something practical. I think MIC would give me the opportunity to build on that while also exposing me to areas outside what I usually explore. | Problem: Ambulances lose critical time in traffic because conventional traffic signals don't prioritise emergency vehicles effectively. Solution: LifeLanes uses GPS and IoT-based communication to detect approaching ambulances and dynamically prioritise their route through traffic signals, reducing unnecessary delays. Target Market: Hospitals, ambulance networks, and urban traffic authorities looking to improve emergency response times. | Problem: Students with complementary skills often struggle to find the right people for projects, competitions, and ideas. I've personally faced this while trying to build teams. Solution: A campus platform that matches students based on their skills, interests, and project requirements. Impact: It could make collaboration easier, encourage interdisciplinary teams, and help more student ideas actually get built. | No | I haven't been part of a formal startup or incubator yet, but I have worked on LifeLanes, a project focused on reducing ambulance delays using GPS, IoT, and traffic-signal prioritisation. I've also participated in competitions where we had to develop, present, and refine the idea based on feedback. Understanding the problem, validating assumptions, communicating the idea clearly, and continuously improving the solution are equally important as having strong concept. | Moderate — I understand the basics | |||||||||

As a first-year student, I want to explore areas like AI/ML, web development, and emerging technologies while learning from experienced seniors and working with like-minded people. I’m also excited about participating in hackathons and contributing to innovative projects.

I want to contribute my skills to the club’s technical and entrepreneurial initiatives while learning from senior members, growing as a developer, a computer science student, and as a future engineer and entrepreneur.

I am really passionate about Entrepreneurship and always dreamt to do something of my own. This would provide me with an opportunity to learn about the startup ecosystem and more areas of it. I look forward to Learn, grow and Build with MIC! | I am not working on anything but i have an idea for a website that organises books based on user's interests. The platform would categorise and recommend books according to different genres, making it easier for people to discover relevant books. The goal is to bring a wide range of books together in one place and simplify the process of finding what to read next | A problem that i identified in my community is that students often find it difficult to discover books that match their interests or academic needs. Book recommendations are scattered across different websites and platforms. A solution to this is exactly what i mentioned in the previous question, a website that categorises books based on user's interests and goals. The platform could include ratings , reviews and personalised suggestions to help users choose the right books more easily. | Yes | I am a volunteer in solve arena (a jee problem solving platform) My roles are of post designer and podcast host.

As a CSE student, I want to explore both technology and innovation beyond the classroom, take part in real-world projects, and develop my problem-solving and teamwork skills while contributing my own ideas to the club. | I have an idea for a personalized movie-booking assistant. Instead of manually searching through theatres and show timings, users could simply tell the app what movie they want to watch and their preferences. The app would compare available options based on location, timing, budget and previous choices, recommend the best option, and simplify the booking process. Over time, it could learn the user's preferences and make more personalized recommendations. | A problem I notice among college students is that many struggle to keep track of their daily spending, especially when small expenses add up over time. I would build a simple platform that helps students track their spending, set monthly limits, and understand where their money is going, making financial management easier from an early stage. | No | Moderate — I understand the basics | ||||||||||

The goal is to make learning more engaging through game-like elements such as challenges, progression, rewards, interesting story lines and competition while still keeping the focus on meaningful learning and academic growth. | A real world problem i have identified in my campus is the hard water which could potentially be bad for long term use . I would explore cost effective solution such as installing centralised or atleast individual attachments which would filter the calcium deposits .The aim is to make water more safe and comfortable for students to use and make their cleanliness practices seemless. | Yes | i have worked as a sales representative intern at Dharti Wellness which is a cosmetic brand and have gained hands on experience about how sales work , worked with customers etc .

Gotta be an idiot to miss out. | Have thought about basically a platform that connects college students with local businesses and startups for short-term projects, internships and freelance work. It helps students gain real-world experience while giving small businesses access to affordable talent. | Many college students don't know where to find internships or part-time opportunities. I would create a platform where students can easily find nearby opportunities and apply for them. | Yes | I helped with coming up with ideas and planning for an Instagram page which I made called @beyondsingularities, I learned how to work with an audience, understand problems and turn an idea into something useful and something that helps in virality.

I would like to explore the possibility of starting a venture of my own someday, and I believe that being part of this club would help me gain the knowledge, exposure, and experience needed to take that step. I have also heard that the club has strong and supportive seniors and genuinely focuses on sharing knowledge and encouraging members to learn. This learning environment is what attracts me the most. | Most students (including me) pick a career or major based on guesswork, family opinions, YouTube videos and whatever sounds impressive. This is not the correct way to make a decision that will stay with you throughout life. The problem isn't lack of information, it's lack of felt experience. I propose an AI-powered simulator that lets you "live" a few days as a professional — a doctor, lawyer, or founder — through realistic decisions and consequences, so you actually feel the pressure and reality of the job, not just read about it. | Elderly people living alone often go unchecked for days if something happens to them. I witnessed this issue in my society with an elder man whose kids lived out-of-country. I propose an idea that fixes this with one daily action: they tap "I'm Okay" or answer a scheduled call. If they miss it, family or nearby volunteers get an instant alert to check in. It's built to be simple i.e. no smartphone skills needed, so it actually works for the people who need it most. | No | No, I haven’t been part of a startup, incubator, or entrepreneurship cell yet. However, I have an entrepreneural mindset and would like to pursue a venture of my own someday.

Most of what I've learned so far has been through classes and personal practice, but I feel that being part of a community like MIC will help me learn much more by collaborating with others. I'm especially interested in attending workshops, hackathons, and technical sessions where I can improve my skills and get hands-on experience. I also think being around people who are passionate about technology will motivate me to keep learning and challenge myself.

I want to build a strong network with like-minded peers, learn from real startup founders, and gain hands-on experience in business creation and event management. | To be honest, I don't have a specific startup idea that I'm actively working on right now. My main focus has been on building strong core skills and solving immediate, real-world problems in my current projects. | A massive problem in my area is that there is absolutely nowhere for young people to just hang out without being forced to spend money. If my friends and I want to chill, study, or collaborate on a project, our only options are loud, overpriced cafes where staff stare you down if you don't buy a ₹300 coffee every hour, or sitting outside on a curb in the heat.

One idea I’ve thought about is an AI “chief of staff” for small businesses: it connects to email, calendars, CRM, and messaging, then turns scattered information into concrete actions—following up with leads, preparing meeting briefs, spotting overdue tasks, and reminding the owner what actually needs attention. The key differentiation would be proactive execution rather than another chatbot: it doesn’t just answer “what should I do?”; it notices what needs doing and handles the routine parts automatically, while asking for approval on anything consequentia. | A common campus problem is that students miss opportunities like internships, events, part-time jobs, and useful services because information is scattered across WhatsApp groups and social media.

I decimated deathly hallows in two hours on my first read in fifth grade). clubs, student orgs, fraternities, societies were this huge deal in books and stories that i read and movies i watched. (harry potter, mallory towers, st clare’s, spiderman hc, gilmore girls, etc) from participating in competitions, to club meetings, staying back after classes for and conducting and taking part in events, to that elusive camaraderie that could only be found by being a part of something bigger than yourself. unfortunately, none of that existed in my school and i’d given up on finding my people or being part of (just like i’d given up on getting a high-school sweetheart)(lol i’m not crying you are T-T) my first year as a hosteller, i’d seen the fresher’s club expo during a break between my classes.

(damn, you’re really reading all this, huh?) i wanted to be a part of a community that was focused on learning, improving, coming together to create something meaningful, etc. i wanna grow along with people and help others grow too while accomplishing something tangible together. (can you tell this means a lot to me?) cut to my second year as a day-scholar, i remember looking at the entrepreneurship department and wanting to apply. I’d definitely heard of mic by then, and how it was one of the best clubs on campus (‘nuff said). unfortunately, i missed recruitments for mic in my second year too due to a series of unfortunate events in my personal life. by the time third year rolled around, i’d given up on trying to find my tribe (i’d already given up on getting a bf 2 years prior) most people don’t join a club in their third year, and rarely do clubs open recruitments for third years. i’d missed remics this year due to placement training and i’d hated my luck a lil bit. just as i was about to give up on my dreams of the ‘club life’, i saw that the mic recruitments were open to 3rd years too this year. when i saw the recruitment website this time around (thankfully), i gasped a lil in surprise. i was literally working on a eerily similar approach to the flappy bird for my own personal portfolio. i feel it’s meant to be this time around.

My journey began with SIH 2022 and continued through Elan & nVision, IIT Hyderabad 2023, and Techfest, IIT Bombay 2024. During these hackathons, my key role was presenting our ideas and effectively communicating their significance, while also contributing to product refinement, competitor research, product-market fit, and identifying our product’s USP. During high school, I also worked as a strategist at Jezh Technologies, which gave me an early opportunity to explore the startup environment. Beyond hackathons, I led cohorts of 200+ students through my Student Council experience and participated in MUNs, receiving Top Mention and Special Mention 3 times. These experiences strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, and I hope to bring these strengths to the Entrepreneurship Department while learning how to turn innovative ideas into impactful stuff. | I am not currently working on a new startup idea, but I have previously been deeply involved in product ideation and development through various innovation projects.

It uses a real satellite image of a rooftop based on its location. After the user marks the rooftop area, it calculates the roof area, performs real-time shadow analysis, and generates optimized solar panel placement. A judge who was an EPC owner was impressed and connected with me. After discussing the industry workflow, I’m implementing his suggestions and plan to launch it as a B2B service. | Solar installation planning can be time-consuming because teams need to manually analyze rooftop area, shadows, panel placement, and other site conditions before proposing a solution.

Important commands can be misunderstood, and emergency situations may be identified unreliably. Aegis uses audio processing, speaker separation, and AI to identify different speakers, isolate speech, understand commands, and detect emergency or distress keywords. This way the system responds more accurately even in noisy, multi speaker environments. Aegis was mainly thought with respect to smart homes, but it can be used in any environment where reliable voice interaction is important. | One idea I’ve thought about is a smart campus management platform that uses IoT to improve the way college spaces and resources are managed.
