What is Avenues?
A fest built by students, judged by industry.
AVENUES is the premier annual flagship festival of the Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) at IIT Bombay. Thoughtfully curated as a diverse portfolio of business and management challenges, the event seamlessly blends rigorous intellectual pursuit with dynamic engagement. It serves as a global nexus, uniting the brightest management minds to compete, collaborate, and engineer transformative business solutions.
Masterfully orchestrated by the student body under expert faculty guidance, the proceedings are evaluated by a distinguished panel of leading academicians, seasoned entrepreneurs, and prominent venture capitalists. Anchoring this year’s edition is the visionary theme for Avenues ’26 — The Ownership Revolution: from consumers to creators.

Case competitions
Several case competitions hosted with the student clubs of SJMSOM
The Vault
A pitching platform for budding entrepreneurs
A stage for founders and innovators to pitch a business idea to industry experts and investors — an existing startup is not a prerequisite. Winning ideas can take home awards or secure real investment funding.

Alankar
The leadership talk series.
A global leadership summit that brings stalwarts from business, entertainment, politics, media and sport to IIT Bombay to share their stories and take questions from the audience.
Culturals
A jamming night and a run of cultural events on 24 October, so the two days are not all case decks and deadlines.
Speakers who have taken the stage
