Shark Tank: Build, Pivot & Invest

This three-round business competition, part of E-Summit'26 at Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi, simulates the startup lifecycle. Teams will create investor-ready pitch decks, manage market crises, and make investment decisions.

Round 1 involves building a 9-slide pitch deck, with the top 30 teams advancing. Round 2, held offline, sees teams acting as investors, allocating a fictional fund across startup portfolios. The final offline round requires the top 12 teams to adapt their strategies to unexpected market crises and deliver a 3-minute pitch. The competition assesses innovation, feasibility, market understanding, financial acumen, crisis management, and strategic decision-making.
