Gautam Adani, a very important businessman in India, started something called Vande Bharatam.

It is like a big contest to find amazing new ideas from regular people.

More than 26,000 people sent in their ideas.

Only about 50 people were chosen.

These chosen people are called innovators.

They all came to a city called Ahmedabad for a special week.

During this week, they learn from mentors, who are experienced business people.

The ideas can be about farming, health, protecting nature, or new technology.

The mentors say it is wonderful to see so much talent in India.

Vande Bharatam gives resources to founders who may not have easy access to them.
