Testimonials

Elevate was my first interaction with E-Cell IITM. Great learning to see what are the different ideas put up by the teams. Interacted with a lot of startups. Loved the variety of ideas, the excitement, the enthusiasm. It was contagious and would love to see more coming from IIT Madras.

Sanjay Mehta Founder & Partner, 100X.VC

It was my pleasure to be here, we have less opportunity in the north-east, I feel very privileged to see lots of entrepreneurs, unicorns and startups. I really want to tell all the budding entrepreneurs from North East to come here. It is really eye-opening for me. Really nice and very happy to see how the events are being organized.

Dr. Dayananda Meetei Winner-2020

I have to say that it is a wonderful experience, never expected that students of your age would do such beautiful co-ordination, right from the first round in Hyderabad where we heard the initial pitches to the final co-ordination here, I think it is totally a wonderful experience, thanks for inviting us here.
