Social Transformers is a three-round B-Plan competition that challenges participants to build commercially viable ventures that address genuine social problems. The event evaluates not just the idea, but also its clarity, adaptability, social impact, business potential, and execution. The competition begins with an online submission stage, where teams of 2–3 members submit a written business pitch outlining the social problem, proposed solution, and preliminary business model. Round 1 – Elevator Pitch Shortlisted teams present a 2–3 minute pitch explaining the problem they aim to solve, its relevance, target beneficiaries, and their core solution. This round tests clarity, confidence, relevance, and the ability to communicate an idea effectively within a limited time. Round 2 – Crisis Curveball Teams face a sudden business crisis or constraint, such as a funding cut, supply disruption, regulatory change, or other unexpected challenge. They must quickly adapt their business model and present a revised solution. This round evaluates agility, creativity, resilience, and decision-making under pressure. Round 3 – Final Presentation Teams present their complete business plan for 5-7 minutes before the judging panel, covering the problem, solution, business model, social impact, market potential, and financial viability. The final round evaluates the overall strength, feasibility, sustainability, and scalability of the venture.
