Young Entrepreneurs Turn Ideas into Enterprise at PAS Commerce Fest
Future-ready learning takes centre stage as students pitch innovative ventures and showcase their marketing creativity
The classrooms of The Pentecostal Assembly School transformed into spaces of enterprise and innovation as young minds stepped forward to think, create and pitch like emerging entrepreneurs at the Commerce Fest 2026.
Designed to take commerce education beyond textbooks, the Fest challenged students to apply their understanding of entrepreneurship, finance, marketing and business management to real-world situations through two engaging eventsâthe Startup India Business Idea Pitch Competition and the Ad Mad Show.
In the Business Idea Pitch Competition, students identified real-life problems and transformed their solutions into promising business proposals. Presenting before an expert panel, they explained their target customers, unique selling propositions, marketing strategies and the practical feasibility of their ventures. Their well-researched concepts and confident presentations reflected the Schoolâs commitment to nurturing creativity, financial awareness, critical thinking and enterprise from an early age.
The best pitched ideas were :
Campus Prenuer: Connecting students with investors.
Smart Safe Bags: Make everyday bags smarter and safer.
Kriyow: Connectivity between professional service providers and consumers.
Civic Spark AI: Boosting civic responsibilities.
CareLink : Service provider to elderly care.
The competition was judged by CA Amol Kumar Lachhiramka and entrepreneur Mr. Pradeep Kumar. Their expert observations and valuable feedback encouraged the participants to examine their ideas from practical financial and business perspectives. The interaction provided students with an exceptional opportunity to learn directly from professionals and understand what it takes to convert an idea into a viable enterprise.
The energy continued with the vibrant Ad Mad Show, where students created imaginative advertisements for products and services. Combining humour, spontaneity and persuasive communication, the teams demonstrated an impressive understanding of branding, promotion and consumer behaviour. The activity brought commerce alive through creativity, teamwork and confident stage presentation.
Appreciating the initiative, Principal Dr. Karuna Prasad said, âExperiential learning opportunities help students develop entrepreneurial thinking, confidence, communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills.â She encouraged the students to look beyond conventional answers, embrace innovation and transform their ideas into meaningful possibilities for the future.
The Commerce Fest reflected the distinctive learning culture of The Pentecostal Assembly Schoolâone that does not merely prepare students for examinations but equips them to think independently, communicate confidently and respond creatively to the demands of a rapidly changing world.
Through such future-focused initiatives, PAS continues to create confident thinkers, responsible innovators and aspiring leaders who are prepared not only to enter the world of enterpriseâbut to reshape it.
