Elaborating about the event, Nayan Saluja and Harsh Agarwal, event heads at E-Cell, IIT Kharagpur put forth the joint statement: “The year 2021, saw the Indian Startup Ecosystem setting a new normal. Despite the pandemic, more than 4 dozen unicorns emerged. After the grim and unprecedented situation, there was a realization in every nation, especially in a country like ours which belongs to an emerging economy, that survival can be achieved solely through inclusion. Inclusion is about creating an environment for the diverse talent pool to express and work to their fullest potential and feel part of the company (sense of belongingness), its processes, systems, and growth, and also to work for providing living conditions with affordability considerations. The theme of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2022 is “Innovation for Inclusion”. This edition aims to tap all those segments including niche ones and encourages participants to solve problems based on creative thinking and innovations, so that the diffusion of benefits targets all sections. Innovations can help in providing products and services, being affordable and accessible, and such can truly be called inclusive innovation that serves larger section of people in the society”
It’s a clarion call by the E-Cell for participation in GES ’22. As can be gauged from the briefings, the event is bound to act as a platform for young minds. It shall help them interact, enable them to create innovative ideas and empower them to build awareness amongst their peers about the ever-growing startup evangelism.
