The Hult Prize is an annual competition that challenges MBA and college students to develop ideas to solve social issues. Students form teams, develop ideas, and pitch their concepts. The winning team receives $1 million in seed funding to launch a social enterprise. This year's competition at the University of Calcutta focuses on recruiting teams of 3-4 students to develop solutions. Interested students can participate directly in the competition or join the organizing team in roles like PR, design, sponsorship, and event coordination.
