One Platform · Two Cities
Both programs follow the same architecture. Performance in Pune determines who advances. Delhi is where it is decided.
Stage One · 21–22 August 2026
The national qualifying round. Eighty student teams build against industry-defined problem statements; shortlisted startups pitch to curated investors. Every participant is evaluated. The strongest advance.
Stage Two · October 2026
The Grand Finale, held in the capital for the first time. 25-30 finalist teams present product-grade outcomes; the top startups pitch to angel investors, VC funds and family offices with active mandates.
IRS 2026 convenes industry leadership, institutional excellence, entrepreneurship, capital and future talent, each vertical designed to drive real outcomes.
