The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) will launch an exclusive programme for school kids to ignite their entrepreneurial skills. The TiE Young Entrepreneurs Business Plan Competition will be conducted on February 1 at the Indian School of Business (ISB).

"The idea is to catch them young and prepare them for nuances of building businesses," a TiE executive said.

As many as six teams, each having four members, have been selected for the programme. The students, studying in Class 9 and 10, will present their business ideas to a group of experts.

The winner will get a chance to compete in a global programme, a TiE statement said on Saturday.
