The event consists of a series of short pitches from companies (company introduction plus a description of the specific project, which is planned for the internship opportunity) and one-to-one short interviews with the students. The start-ups span across industries including,\u00a0E-commerce, Marketing, High tech, Bio Tech, Apps, Social media, and Engineering to name a few.<\/p>\n
