Acharya Bangalore B-School (ABBS) proudly launched SummitSphere: The Founders Series, a brand-new initiative designed to bring the startup world closer to students through conversations with real-world entrepreneurs. The inaugural edition featured Dyumna Madan, the 19-year-old founder of Project Clay and a standout entrepreneur from Shark Tank India.
The session opened with Dyumna sharing her personal journey — from the inception of her idea to the challenges and triumphs of building Project Clay. This was followed by a dynamic student-led panel discussion that explored three key themes chosen by the student body. The interaction continued with an engaging audience Q&A, leading into the Pitching Power-Up segment, where student teams pitched their startup ideas and received insightful feedback from Dyumna herself.
SummitSphere marks the beginning of a series of such impactful sessions. In the coming months, ABBS will host a lineup of inspiring entrepreneurs who will share their stories, insights, and guidance to nurture the next generation of changemakers.
Commenting on its success, Ajitesh Basani, Executive Director, ABBS said:
“At ABBS, we have never settled for being a conventional B-school. From the beginning, we have challenged the norms and consistently redefined what business education means in today’s world. Our focus on experiential learning, social consciousness, and continuous innovation allows us to produce not just managers, but thoughtful leaders who can make a meaningful impact. We welcome the media and stakeholders to join us in this journey as we continue to push boundaries and inspire excellence.”
With a legacy of innovation and a forward-thinking approach, ABBS continues to be a trailblazer in management education, shaping future leaders who are as socially aware as they are professionally competent.
