About the event
Illuminate is E-Cell IIT Bombay's programme, and it is coming to SCSVMV. Six hours, one trainer from IIT Bombay, and a certificate issued by them at the end of it.
It is built for students who want to understand how a business actually gets put together - the model, the customer, the money - rather than hear another talk about following your passion.
₹699 per student - the rate for SCSVMV as a campus taking part in the National Entrepreneurship Challenge. It covers the training, the certificate from E-Cell IIT Bombay, and the startup kit with the Business Model Canvas.
Who can register
- Any SCSVMV student, any year, any department.
- No idea needed, though the sessions go better if you bring one.
- Seats are limited and this is a paid programme - your place is held once your payment is confirmed.
Before you come
- Bring your college ID card and the QR pass from your confirmation email.
- Bring a notebook and a pen. Most of the Business Model Canvas work happens on paper.
- Come with an idea if you have one - you will be building a model around it and pitching it before the day ends.

What you leave with
Six hours that go on your CV.
A certificate from E-Cell IIT Bombay
Issued by the Entrepreneurship Cell of IIT Bombay, not by us. It is the line on your CV that a recruiter recognises without you having to explain it.
Startup kit and incentives
The participant kit and the incentives E-Cell IIT Bombay puts behind Illuminate, handed to you on the day.
A trainer from IIT Bombay
The session is taken by their trainer, who works through the Business Model Canvas with you rather than presenting at you.
A shot at E-Summit, IIT Bombay
Asia's largest entrepreneurship summit. Illuminate is how students from campuses like ours get in front of it.
Six hours, hands on
Entrepreneurial insights, a Business Model Canvas activity, pitching your own idea, and exercises you actually do rather than watch.
SCSVMV on the map
Our campus joins the list of colleges running Illuminate - which is how the next national programme finds its way here.
