From Director’s Desk >>
"Robust mentoring programs are needed. That means looking for
ideas as per market needs. Seed funding comes next. This is essential
for innovative engineering startups ready with prototypes for industry
linkage on a perpetual basis."
Dear Patron,
Greetings from CEED!
Chitkara University Centre for Entrepreneurship and Education Development was formed on
15th May 2016. We came active with our events in May end 2016 with our first major event
Startup Weekend. This three day event conducted at our sprawling campus at Chitkara
University marked the beginning of entrepreneurship development and awareness at Chitkara
University. Over 100 students from various streams participated in this Internationally
acclaimed business plan competition. In a short span of 11 months we have been able to
conduct over 40 events and sensitize over 2000 students on Entrepreneurship as an alternative
career. With constant mentoring programs and visits of noted Industry Mentors, we have been
able to set a base on entrepreneurship development at our Campus and at our Startup
Incubator in Chandigarh, where we host over 35 Startups.
I thank each and every one who has helped us to build CEED. We specially thank the Chitkara
University Management for having faith in our abilities. I and my team thank team CURIN to
associate with us and support us.
Looking forward to a great next year, 2017-2018.
Best Wishes,
Sumeer Walia

>> ABOUT CEED
We all want to witness India- as a Renewed Nation. Our country has three factors going for it:
the world’s largest youth absorption, the hyper-aspirations of its youth, and their edginess with
comprehending their goals. India needs to create more jobs, India needs more entrepreneurs.
We need to remove barriers for entrepreneurs. AirBnB as an example of a company reduces
barriers for potential hosts and guests to contact each other and rate one another, thus
building a virtuous cycle for business – this model offers a lot of learning for the Indian business
ecosystem. Chitkara University Centre for Entrepreneurship Education & Development
(CUCEED) has indeed imbibed this rhythm of igniting young minds to nurture the Nation’s vision
of STARTUP INDIA-STAND UP INDIA. The journey has just begun with firm footholds to conquer
the plethora of opportunities wherein students, faculty, alumni and community entrepreneurs
get the belongingness of a company.
>> OUR VISION
CEED is enthusiastic to evolving vibrant, viable, principled and socially accountable
entrepreneurs through an all-inclusive slant of global entrepreneurship platform including
entrepreneurial way of discerning, training and constructing confidence for the future members
of our society.
The members through a real-world and hands-on approach to wisdom cultivate amongst
themselves critical entrepreneurial performances and attitudes, advance essential knowledge
and skills, and are able to discourse everyday problems faced by the community.

Swachh Chai
Swachh Chai is a student startup formed by a team of three BE CSE third year students; Divam Wadhwa,
Vedant Singh and Deepak Sharma. Their business idea revolves around the neglected yet most
important section of the society, i.e. local Chaiwala. They feel more potential in their idea as tea is the
STAPLE food of whole India.
You feel like having a cup of tea ..but don't want machine tea... can't locate a
tea stall around... and finally u succeed in finding one but do they
guarantee quality, hygiene?? They wanted to convert our favorite tea stall
to one stop destination of clean, hygienic and tasty tea. In other words,
swatch chai for all.
30% of the total world's tea is consumed in India only. We have tea vendors at every nook and corner,
so they realized that now it's time to digitalize these vendors by connecting them in our chain thereby
uplifting their standard of living and making tea
hygienic for the customers. They are going to
provide them with a particular dress, caps,
gloves, glasses, canopy etc by which they can
improve the way they represent.
Revenue will be generated in three major ways:-
1. By buying bulk tea from new manufacturers
and selling them to tea vendors at price
lesser than MRP.
2. Will build an app through which these
vendors can be located easily. All these tea
vendors can be located through the app.
3. Since these people will be painted and
coloured in brand colours so they would be
able build a franchise in future.
They are ready with a promising profit
generating business model which will have a significant impact in uplifting the potential chaiwala
community of India.
The team has also pitched their idea in UNInflux Global Hackathon Connect2Effect Chandigarh Chapter
in March 2017. They had undergone a live experience by getting an opportunity to serve tea as per their
startup to all the participants for three consecutive days. The opportunity provided by the University has
given them more enthusiasm and clear facts about their startup idea.
