POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

50 teams had ₹1,000 each and 7 days to turn it into real money! 💰

That was The ₹1000 Hustle challenge, organised by E-Cell for our newest batch of students! Each team of 5 got ₹1,000 in seed capital and no pitch decks or business plans. They had to pick a product, source it, price it, find real customers and make the sales happen.

They also took their products beyond campus, to hostels, housing societies, cafes, college events and even Church Street in Bangalore!

🔥 One team heard “no” 41 times going shop to shop in Electronic City and kept going. Their NFC business found customers as far as Gujarat!
🔥 Another team tried jewellery, posters, T-shirts and frozen food, then pivoted to clothes, bought in bulk and sold to tourists, local vendors and foreigners!

The week added up to ₹5.31 lakh in revenue from 38 teams and ₹2.39 lakh in profit, about 2.7x last year. 36 of 38 teams ended with more money than they started with!

What our students learned:
→ A good product is not enough, take it to your customers
→ High revenue alone does not make a good business, margins, stock and repeat sales matter too
→ Plans change on the ground, and fast adjusters did better
→ Showing up every day pays off, Day 7 was the biggest day!

They felt the pressure of limited cash, the discomfort of approaching strangers and the joy of a first sale!

🥇 1st place, TEAM 7: Devansh Goyal, Mehakpreet Singh, Path Agrawal, Rudra Verma, Muskaan Prasad
