Conquest is an international business plan competition organised by Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL), BITS-Pilani. It has carved a niche for itself by
the way of judges’ feedback and excellent pre and post competition mentoring which have catapulted bright ideas into successful start-ups.

The competition is open to all students and corporate in the country. It encourages business plans from all sectors – IT, Manufacturing, Pharmacy, Health Services, Rural Development, Infrastructure, Biotechnology, Finance & Marketing, Web2.0, Business Consultancy, Retail, Media etc. In the last five years, the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at BITS Pilani has scaled Conquest from an intra-BITS contest to an international B-Plan competition that receives close to 500 entries.

With prizes worth more than INR 3,00,000 and Angel funding opportunities up to INR 1,00,00,000 ($200,000) and an ever expanding circle of mentors, judges,
investors and incubation facilities, Conquest 2010 promises its participants a highly challenging and rewarding experience.

Tie ups with Department of Science and Technology(Government of India) as well as the Technology Business Incubator at BITS Pilani help in providing incubation to the winners. Apart from this, there is also a vast pool of resources offered by TiE and NEN, who are actively associated with CEL.
