30th October – 1st November 2026
The Conclave: E-Merge is E-Cell IIT Hyderabad’s entrepreneurial conclave, running from 30th October to 1st November 2026 and bringing school students, college teams, and startup leaders into the same room.
Startup Senate: Our flagship school event for Classes 9–12. Committees become early-stage startups and every participant is a co-founder: pitching, budgeting, branding, and handling crises thrown in by the Chair.
The Boardroom: A high-stakes startup simulation where teams take on CEO, CFO, CMO, and COO roles, solve a live business problem sourced from a startup, and defend their strategy before an expert panel.
Don’t learn about entrepreneurship. Live it.
There are no lectures at E-Merge. You’ll make the calls that make or break companies (MVP or full launch, bootstrap or VC, when to pivot) with limited resources and incomplete information.
Whether you’re a school student stepping into your first startup or a college team ready to think like executives, E-Merge is where you test your instincts under pressure.
E-Merge's flagship school event. Committees become early-stage startups and every participant is a co-founder, pitching, managing budgets, building a brand, and making decisions under pressure as the Chair throws in surprise challenges.
