This letter is written to confirm that Gourav Roy has been selected as the 2016-2017 Campus
Director for Hult Prize@ IIM Lucknow.
The Hult Prize, in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative, is the world’s largest student
competition for budding social entrepreneurs, and every year challenges college and university
students to put their time, talent, and innovative ideas towards solving the most pressing global
problems, together with their peers. Named as one of the top five ideas changing the world by
former President Bill Clinton and TIME Magazine, the annual competition for the Hult Prize aims
to identify and launch the most compelling social business ideas—start-up enterprises that tackle
grave issues faced by billions of people. From the tens of thousands of applications received
every year, one winning team will receive USD 1 million in seed capital, as well as mentorship and
advice from the international business community.
As Campus Director, Gourav will be responsible for organizing and implementing a quarterfinal
round of the Hult Prize competition on the IIM Lucknow campus. This will include working with the
academic institution, the students, and members of the community to spread awareness of the
President's Challenge, and promoting social entrepreneurship as a sustainable means to solve it.
The competition will include at least 10 student teams across campus, with the winning team
advancing directly to the regional finals.
Please let us know if we can provide any further information in confirmation of the selection of
Gourav as Campus Director, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions. On behalf of our
partners and the entire Hult Prize Foundation organization, we would like to thank you for your
commitment to launching a new wave of entrepreneurs who believe that through business, we can
solve some of the world's toughest social challenges.
