The Phase II Startup Idea Validation Session of the TYE (TiE Young Entrepreneurs) Program 2025–26, organized by TiE Patna, was held on 2nd April 2026 at Chandragupt Institute of Management Patna. Conducted in offline mode from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, the session brought together students from DPS Patna to present and validate their startup ideas before a panel of experienced mentors. This phase marked a significant shift from ideation to practical validation. Students confidently pitched innovative ideas across sectors such as education, travel, and healthcare, demonstrating creativity, critical thinking, and a strong grasp of entrepreneurial concepts. Their efforts were commendable, with seven students qualifying for the finals, reflecting both their dedication and the effectiveness of the program’s structured training.

The session also revisited Phase I, which laid a strong foundation through a series of engaging sessions led by industry experts. These covered key areas like design thinking, rapid prototyping, startup math, and team building, ensuring a holistic learning experience. Out of 85 registrations, 25 students were selected for Phase I, and 15 advanced to Phase II, each receiving certificates for their successful participation. Distinguished members of the TiE Patna Chapter, including leadership, mentors, and facilitators, enriched the session with their insights and guidance. Their feedback encouraged students to refine their ideas and approach them from an entrepreneurial and investor perspective.

The session concluded on a positive note, setting the stage for the upcoming finale and offering students a pathway toward global entrepreneurial exposure.
