AN INTER-SCHOOL PITCH DECK COMPETITION
ABOUT THE PITCH DECK COMPETITION
Across India, millions of children are unable to play or participate in sports due to a range of barriers-lack of time, space, safety, motivation, or access to facilities.
The pitch deck competition invites school students to identify these barriers and design bold, creative, and actionable solutions. Whether it’s tech-driven, community-based, or infrastructure-focused, if it gets kids playing-it’s a winner.
