This competition was free of cost to schools & students at all levels, and was entirely supported by generous sponsors who believed in the same entrepreneurship vision. Using Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations as a framework, the competition urged school students to create business solutions to reduce poverty, provide quality education, improve sanitation and increase nutritious intake.

On 10th Feb 2019, the grand finale for India's Future Tycoons was held at CoWrks, Worli. ENpower selected Co Wrks as venue partners so that students get an opportunity to see how new age startups work. India's Future Tycoons provided a much-needed platform for young teens to build on their innovative ideas & provide solutions that can change the world. Inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, students have combined social enterprise with business acumen to come up with compelling venture ideas.

It was a big day for everyone including the participating students, schools, parents and the empower team.
