Planting Seeds of Innovation and Entrepreneurship: GSSSIETW’s First Student Participation at Startup Mahakumbh

We at GSSS Technology Business Incubator Foundation (GSSSTBIF) proudly congratulate the student team from GSSSIETW Mysuru for their outstanding participation in Startup Mahakumbh 2025, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from April 3–5.

The team — Srinidhi Ramdas, Manya A Gowda, Rachana S Jadhav, Pallak Dunung, Erum Haque, and Abhigna Shankar — all second-year engineering students, demonstrated rare initiative and drive by stepping into the entrepreneurial arena at a stage when most students are still discovering what engineering truly means.

At a time when most students are still navigating their way through engineering basics and internal exams, this team chose to explore the world of entrepreneurship – traveling across the country to test their ideas, present their pitch, and engage with India’s startup ecosystem. That in itself is rare, and truly commendable.

Importantly, while these young innovators are deeply passionate about entrepreneurship, they have not taken their engineering education lightly. Their participation in Startup Mahakumbh reflects not a diversion, but a sincere desire to enhance their learning journey. They continue to pursue their academics with equal seriousness, balancing both aspirations with dedication.

A defining moment came when Shri. Madan Padaki, Senior Advisor to Tata Trusts and Governing Council Member of TiE Bangalore, recognized the team’s potential during their pitch and extended an encouraging offer. This recognition was a powerful boost — validating their idea and igniting belief in what they are building.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the faculty and leadership at for their consistent encouragement and support.


At GSSSTBIF, we’re truly satisfied to have played a humble role in enabling this journey. Supporting passionate young innovators like this team is at the heart of the mission of GSSSTBIF Incubation Center.

Here’s to more such bold beginnings and meaningful milestones!
