At IIT Ropar, we believe in the culture of complete and holistic wellbeing for the student community. Driven by the vision of holistic health and emotional balance, the institute has a vibrant campus ecosystem committed to personal growth. With that in mind, the idea of an annual techno-wellness fest was conceived in 2024, appropriately named ‘Nirvana’.

Nirvana (nirvāṇa) is an indic word for freedom, liberation, and enlightenment. In its literal and philosophical sense, Nirvana represents liberation, the cessation of struggle, and the ultimate blowing out of the fires of stress and anxiety. By bringing thousands of students together to participate in expressive art therapy, mind gyms, mental health dialogues, and community bonding, the fest creates a shared environment of warmth and positivity.

In 2026, Nirvana attracted more than 5,000 students towards an event dedicated to the importance of wellbeing, featuring:

• Overnight Hackathon: Bridging the gap between technology and wellness, the fest gave space to individuals with interest in AI to express their knowledge for the betterment of society.
• Mental Health Advocates: Speakers like Geeta Mehrotra, Avik Ghose, Mayuri Duggirala, Aarti Samani, and Ishan Shivanand built an everlasting impact on the campus fraternity.
• Gatekeeper Session: Led by esteemed psychiatry experts from AIIMS Bathinda, Dr. Jawahar Singh and Dr. Bharat Udey, the session taught us about the identification of early signals of stress and depression and to offer genuine support to ourselves and our peers.
• Wellness Pavilion: Hosted an impressive array of our collaborators like Axxnet, Arclabs, Yourdost, as well as the Indian Red Cross Society and Manashakti.
• Inspirational Stories: Indian Army Kargil War veteran Major D.P. Singh and 3-time Commonwealth Games weightlifting medalist Vikas Thakur shared their impactful and ever motivating life stories, building a sense of mental resilience among individuals of all ages.

The main theme of the fest was Carnival, a picturesque event that included fun games ranging from sumo fight, to zorbing, to maze, and all other kinds of carnival activities.

It is evident that Nirvana will continue to include more in the upcoming years and have a longer impact on those who join us. It provides a rare space where everyday stress dissolves, self-awareness deepens, and thousands of individuals unite to build a kinder, healthier community.

E-SUMMIT is the flagship annual entrepreneurship festival organized by the Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) and TBIF, IIT Ropar. It is a two-day powerhouse of innovation, strategy, and startup culture that brings together founders, investors, industry leaders, and students under one roof.

At its core, the summit is built around a rich lineup of keynote sessions, panel discussions, an Investors Arena, and hands-on workshops, all designed to bridge the gap between ideas and execution. The Startup Expo takes center stage as a strategic platform where early-stage teams get to showcase their ventures at one of India's premier technical institutions, putting their vision in front of the people who matter most.

Past editions have welcomed remarkable speakers including Ashneer Grover (former MD, BharatPe), Anubhav Dubey (Co-founder, Chai Sutta Bar), Dr. Munish Jindal (Founder, HoverRobotix), Akshay Singh (Founder & CEO, Evigway Technologies), and Lt. Gen. S S Mahal — a testament to the summit's standing in India's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Beyond the mainstage, E-Summit offers an electrifying slate of competitions catering to every kind of problem-solver and strategist:

• Startup Sprint: Pitching original business ideas.
• Pitch 120: Fast-paced solutions under pressure.
• GTM Strategy War: Go-to-market strategy challenges.

• Lok Sabha MUN: Boardroom-style parliamentary debate.
• Corporations Crisis Board: High-stakes corporate crisis resolution simulation.
• IPL Auction House: Adrenaline-fueled bidding and squad management.
• Beyond Transformers Hackathon: AI-driven developmental hackathon.

And because innovation deserves a celebration, the summit wraps up with standout cultural events including standup comedy, dance performances, and pronites, making E-Summit as much a cultural experience as it is an entrepreneurial one. If you're building something, strategizing something, or simply hungry to be in the room where it happens — this is your summit.
