Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) is all set to conduct PitchCafe 3.0 on September 3, 2022. PitchCafe is an annual affair at IIIT-Delhi that fosters the spirit of entrepreneurship amongst young innovators and brings them closer to fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams. It is an excellent platform to showcase promising ideas and early-stage startups.

During the event more than 200+ teams will compete for a prize pool of ₹5,00,000+. Ideas and proposals will be screened over three rounds: Idea Abstraction Screening, Elevator Pitch, and a Final Pitching round. Out of 200, 64 teams will qualify for the second round and make an elevator pitch; thereafter, 16 teams will finally pitch their ideas to the investors on 3rd September. The judges of the final round include serial investors and renowned entrepreneurs, all highly respected personalities in their individual domains.
