ET,,,The Power of Ideas, a unique initiative

Dear Friend,
We invite you to participate in The Power of Ideas, a unique initiative by The Economic Times to encourage anyone and everyone with a business idea to realize his entrepreneurial dream. It is a platform where ideas and business plans will be polished and nurtured with personalized guidance from mentors before being taken forward to the single largest gathering of investors for funding.
Please take the time to submit a Business Summary of your business idea using the attached format. All entries will be treated in confidence, and evaluated by The Economic Times in association with the Indian Angel Network, India 's largest group of angel investors. All information submitted by you, barring whatever was listed in the public domain, will remain confidential and treated as your intellectual property.
To briefly take you through the program structure, once all entries have been evaluated, they will be shortlisted basis the information provided in the Business Summary. All shortlisted candidates will be informed individually by email about their Group Mentoring Sessions to prepare them for Elevator Pitch interviews with investors. That will lead to a second shortlist which will subsequently be taken through an intensive one-on-one mentoring over a period of time. This will lead to the final stage of meetings with investors.
If you know of a friend who also has entrepreneurial aspirations, please let him know about The Power of Ideas by clicking here. http://www.ideas.economictimes.com/participate_nominate-friend.aspx?strtrack=nominate&ran=969
