sahil parikh’s work+life stream

In its second year, Businessworld's unique initiative for showcasing young and promising entrepreneurial talent in India, the Promising Entrepreneur Awards 2010, received a total of 112 applications.

Entrepreneurs from across the country, under the age of 35 and some as young as 19, sent us applications detailing their business ideas. We put together an eminent screening committee, comprising venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, to evaluate the 112 applications and come up with a shortlist of 30 finalists.

These 30 young start-ups and their founders will now be evaluated by a separate six-member jury comprising prominent entrepreneurs, investors and other experts. Five winners will be chosen by the jury and announced later. Till then, get acquainted with the 30 finalists.
