Udaipur: As many as 25 promising startups from Rajasthan and across India will get an opportunity to pitch their business ideas to angel investors, venture capitalists, fund managers and industry leaders at BCI Yuva Investor Connect 2026, being organised by Aarambh.

Around 200 startups have applied for the initiative, which aims to bridge the gap between emerging entrepreneurs and potential investors while providing financial and strategic support for business expansion.

BCI founder Mukesh Madhavani said the startup ecosystem has no shortage of talent and innovative ideas, but many young ventures struggle to find suitable investors and guidance at the right stage. “Our objective is to bring the right startup, right investor and right opportunity onto one platform,” he said.

BCI Yuva President Meenakshi Paliwal said the investor-connect programme will be held on Sept. 15, with investors joining from Mumbai, Gujarat, Delhi, Udaipur and other cities.

Vice President Rohit Paliwal said the initiative is working to facilitate potential funding opportunities of up to Rs 10 crore for selected startups.

The final presentation session will be held on Sept. 25 at The Third Space, Udaipur, where startups will be evaluated on business models, market potential, revenue, growth, financial position, investment requirements, valuation and expansion plans.

Secretary Ankush Ranka said a final facilitation programme will be held on Sept. 26 for detailed investor-startup discussions.

The platform will also offer networking, mentorship, strategic guidance and market-access opportunities.
