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.
