A proud and defining moment for all of us at AIMS School of Business, AIMS Institutes!
Our first edition of AIMS Spark Tank 2025, held in association with BeWise, brought together 12 brilliant startup teams who showcased innovation, purpose, and entrepreneurial courage before an eminent panel of investors and industry experts.
What made the event truly special was the diversity of ideas – from Sustainability-driven solutions to EduTech platforms, FinTech innovations, Agri & Agri2Solutions, HealthTech models, Fashion & Lifestyle ventures, AI-enabled business solutions, Waste Management startups, and Social Impact enterprises – each reflecting the spirit of “think local, scale global.”
Our distinguished panel of investors included:
- Mr. Abhishek K Gupta, Partner & National Sector Leader – TMT, IM&A & GCC, KPMG India
- Mr. Mohit Yadav, Founder & Chief Design Officer, Wolffkraft
- Mr. Sethuraman K, Founder & CEO, BeWise
- Dr. Priyanandan Reddy Meka, CEO, AIMS Institutes
The investors were deeply impressed by the creativity, feasibility, and passion behind each pitch and offered valuable insights on strategy, scalability, and sustainable growth – guiding our young innovators from concept to commercialisation.
According to DPIIT & Startup India (2025), India is home to over 1.59 lakh registered startups, generating 17+ lakh jobs, and stands as the 3rd largest startup ecosystem in the world.
Initiatives like Spark Tank strengthen this movement by nurturing job creators rather than job seekers, empowering youth to drive innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth.
Through this platform, our students have truly experienced the essence of entrepreneurship – resilience, creativity, problem-solving, and responsible innovation – preparing them not just for careers, but for contribution.
A big shout-out to all our 12 startup teams for setting the stage on fire with their ideas, energy, and entrepreneurial spark, you are the true heartbeat of AIMS Spark Tank!
From Ideas to Impact – The entrepreneurial journey at AIMS has just begun!
