Eximius ’10 – The Entrepreneurship Summit of IIM Bangalore

On August 14th& 15th, 2010

After the success of EXIMIUS 2008 and 2009, the third edition of EXIMIUS will be bigger with more events and exciting speakers!

India is at the cusp of innovation! EXIMIUS 2010 is a tribute to our spirit of entrepreneurship, which we celebrate at our two-day summit at IIM Bangalore.

We cordially invite you to EXIMIUS, a prime opportunity for participants to interact with the thinkers and doers of the entrepreneurial world! It also provides budding entrepreneurs with a much-needed platform to showcase their ideas and analyze their plans before taking the plunge!

Our flagship events at Eximius are:

• Ingen and Genesis – business plans and venture capital validation competitions, respectively, that sift the best business ideas from budding Indian entrepreneurs and give them that rare platform to sell their ideas to eminent entrepreneurs and venture capitalists!
• A discussion titled “What is The Next Billion Dollar Idea?,” which will focus on which sectors promise to take the world by storm and unleash a rush of amazing, successful ideas and ventures in the coming years.

In addition to these three marquee events, Eximius will host a number of other events, including:

• A panel discussion and that will focus on Clean Technology;
• A contest and panel discussion on “The Art of the Elevator Pitch” (in collaboration with Toastmasters International);
• The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Quiz competition (in collaboration with IIMB’s IQ quiz club);
• A Business Valuation Workshop and case study analysis (done in collaboration with IIMB’s Networth finance club and hosted by Parag Dholl, Director at Inventus Capital Partners);
• An Entrepreneurship Workshop by Professor Sunil Handa, visiting faculty at IIM Ahmedabad and founder of Eklavya Education, whose entrepreneurship journey is described in the bestseller “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish;” and
• The Blizzar-Baazaar Lateral Thinking Workshop, conducted by K.R. Ravi, author of “Thinking about Thinking,” “Ten Minutes to Creativity,” and “You Only Think Twice.”

Our list of personalities for Eximius 2010 builds upon the base of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, academics, and leaders of the Indian business world that have been so vital to the success of our previous versions of Eximius.
