Youth Udyami 2026: IIM Bangalore's Prayaas launches student entrepreneurship program
Prayaas, the student-run social responsibility initiative at IIM Bangalore, has launched a new youth entrepreneurship program, Youth Udyami 2026. The initiative is led by students from the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP) and supported by the Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM). The year-long program, which will be hosted at the IIMB campus, aims to nurture innovation and self-reliance among students in Classes 10 to 12 through structured mentorship and business development guidance. Selected participants will receive mentorship from the IIMB community and experienced professionals. Mentorship will include insights into industry practices, applicable during the project and in future entrepreneurial efforts. The program will conclude in February 2026 on Prayaas Day, where finalists will present their business ideas to a jury of IIMB faculty and industry leaders. Theme: 'Passion to Profit' Participants will work on conceptualising and building a startup around their interests. Students will identify areas of passion, such as sports, travel, technology, arts, fashion, or social causes, and convert these into viable business models. It is expected that business ideas must address a real-world problem experienced or observed by the participant in Bangalore or within their personal network. The solution may be product or service-based. Social entrepreneurship ideas are also welcome, provided they show potential for self-sustainability and measurable impact. Participation Criteria Youth Udyami 2026 is open to students from Classes 10 to 12, from all streams and school types, within and beyond Bangalore. Teams can include up to three members. Each school may nominate a maximum of three teams. A registration fee of ₹300 per team is applicable. The fee includes access to all program phases, mentorship, and certificates for each member. For registration and further updates, participants may visit the official Prayaas platform.
