Yesterday, we talked about India's First reality web series PitchRight, which is being launched today as a web series comprising of 13 episodes with 13 different entrepreneurs selected through an application process. As part of this initiative, the selected entrepreneurs will be given 45 seconds to make an elevator pitch to Sanjay Mehta, Director, Core Media and investor in Cryptocurrencies, which will be followed by a detailed feedback to the entrepreneur.
The idea of doing PitchRight is to help entrepreneurs understand how to make their elevator pitch perfect and make the most of 40 odd seconds in a lift with an investor. Each entrepreneur will be scored by Sanjay and the ones scored between 8 -- 10 will make it to the finale.
Here are the chosen 13 entrepreneurs with their respective startup ideas :
