SIBM PUNE E-SUMMIT 2026 – Where Ideas are tested, Decisions are defended, and entrepreneurs are shaped.

A Summit Built on Execution

Alongside competitive events, the summit features panel discussions with esteemed industry leaders and entrepreneurs, grounding ambition in real-world experience and practical insight.
