NitiQuest 2026 Shortlisted Teams Announced | View Results

Your Path to Strategy, Startups & Success
NitiQuest is not just another college competition - it’s a complete journey that bridges classroom learning with real-world impact. Designed for ambitious students, NitiQuest brings together strategy, entrepreneurship, and career opportunities on one powerful national platform.
Participants begin with a high-impact Startup Strategy & Pitch Challenge, where students validate ideas, face real investor-style evaluations, and compete at campus and national levels for grants by Vikas Lachhwani, seed funding, and recognition.
But the journey doesn’t stop at pitching. High-performing students move beyond ideas into live industry projects, internships, and even founding team roles, working directly with startups and industry partners on real business problems. This ensures that every participant gains hands-on experience, practical skills, and career-defining exposure.
