These youth leaders will receive a fully-funded invitation to participate in the Youth Leadership Summit 2023, where they will collaborate with young leaders worldwide under the theme ‘Sustainability – Urban Living.’ The REVA University supports this transformative initiative as an Anchor University.

The pivotal qualifying rounds for identifying 15 innovative young leaders for this educative journey were held in four phases, during which teams worked on defining and fine-tuning their problem statements related to sustainability.

‘The Future Founders Co.,’ a pioneering India-based social enterprise dedicated to fostering sustainability innovation and entrepreneurship, celebrated the remarkable success of its ‘India Sustainability Startathon program’ with an inspiring grand finale. The teams participated in both online and offline competitions and training, including master classes, before the final competition, ‘the Winner Spotlight event,’ co-hosted with Mount Carmel College, was held on September 26th, 2023, in Bengaluru.

Supriya Panchangam, CEO of ‘The Future Founders Co.,’ while congratulating the winners and thanking all participants, said, ‘The success of these young champions marks a milestone in the pursuit of sustainability and innovation in India.
