Continuing its tradition of bridging students with entrepreneurial role models, the E-Cell at SIBM Pune hosted iConclave'25 on 24th August 2025 at the Convention Centre. The event brought together founders who had successfully secured investments on Shark Tank India, creating a rare opportunity for one-on-one mentorship and candid dialogue.
The day began with an engaging panel discussion where Shark Tank-funded founders shared their journeys, reflecting on the challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons that shaped their ventures. Following the keynote conversations, student entrepreneurs pitched their ideas directly to the guests and received personalized feedback. This interactive mentoring session helped students identify blind spots, refine strategies, and build investor-oriented clarity.
The panel of mentors included Mr. Ankush R Barjata (DEEVA), Mr. Devesh Bochre (Vold Energy Drink), Mr. Mayank B Nagori (Gud Gum), Ms. Rimjim Deka (Littlebox), Mr. Rounit Gambhir (Chefling), Mr. Sanjeev Jain (Prorata), and Ms. Shweta Shivkumar (WhySoBlue).
By facilitating direct mentorship from Shark Tank-funded founders, iConclave’25 provided students with actionable insights and practical guidance. The event not only enhanced strategic thinking but also strengthened their ability to align ideas with investor expectations.
