The top 10 teams then made it into the finals in which Grameen Greenway Infra and Ottoclave emerged as the winners.  All semi-finalists were also given the opportunity to receive mentorship and other support services at IIMCs upcoming incubation center. This year’s Tata Social Enterprise Challenge event culminated with a closing symposium  which saw talks by eminent speakers in the social sector including Padma Bhusan Shri Devendra Mehta (Founder, Jaipur Foot) and Mr. Arunachalam Muruganantham (Founder Jayshree Industries) amongst others.  According to Professor Ashok Banerjee, the principal mentor of this event and the Dean of New Initiatives and External Relations of IIM Calcutta," IIM Calcutta has always demonstrated its commitment for social cause. We are thankful to Tata Group for agreeing to collaborate with us in launching this event. Budding social entrepreneurs can contribute significantly in India's attempt for inclusive growth and IIM Calcutta along with the Tata Group are proud to be part of such endeavour. I strongly believe that the Tata Social Enterprise challenge will in near future become the biggest event in this space".
