Most of the top Engineering leaders from the world and Indian cities sent their messages and enlightened that this initiative is capable to convert engineers to entrepreneurs which may create several jobs in the coming years and help India to become the biggest start up hub as dreamt by Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi.

Out more than 300 applications were received from several cities only 100 lucky participants have been selected to be a part of this event in 2016.
