About Conquest:
Conquest BITS Pilani, Asia’s first and largest student-run startup accelerator is back with its 20th edition.
Backed by WestBridge Capital, Conquest is a zero-cost, zero-equity, not-for-profit startup accelerator that aids early-stage startups through a 7-week long hybrid program.
Over the past 3 years, we have disbursed a cash prize of INR 1Cr+ to our winners, and have been featured extensively on leading media houses such as CNBC India (television telecast), Inc42, and YourStory.
Conquest has left a significant impact on the startup ecosystem, having produced highly successful startups such as Atlan (valued at USD 500M+), LoveLocal (raised USD 30M), Visit (raised USD 9M+, backed by Kunal Shah) and Thinkerbell Labs (featured on Shark Tank India and lauded by PM Modi).
Starting on 8th June, Conquest 2024 will have a 6-week online phase followed by one week offline in Bangalore. The accelerator shall culminate with Demo Day, a Shark Tank-esque pitching event where the contestants shall pitch their ideas in front of investors, industry leaders and media houses, with prize money up for grabs.
During Conquest 2023, startups were provided with 500+ hours of mentorship and a resource pool worth more than USD 300K. The ecosystem’s most prominent figures including Nithin Kamath from Zerodha, Sameer Nigam from PhonePe, Kunal Bahl from Snapdeal, among others have been associated with Conquest as speakers, jury members and mentors.
More details about the accelerator model, associated partners, as well as past speakers are available in our brochure.
We look forward to hosting you. Food and drinks are on us!
