09Call for partnerships

Build the next generation of innovators with us.

Prodigy Ideathon Cohort 1 puts a thousand students, their teachers and their schools through a structured innovation challenge. Partners help make that possible — and get a real, hands-on presence inside it, not a logo on a banner.

How can an organisation partner with Prodigy Ideathon?

An organisation can partner with Prodigy Ideathon in one of seven ways: Host Partner (provide the Grand Finale venue), Knowledge Partner, Innovation Partner, Education Partner, Industry Partner, Community Partner, or Strategic Partner. Each partnership is scoped as a real experience students and educators take part in — a workshop, a challenge, a judging seat, a clinic — rather than logo placement. Start by sending an enquiry through the form on this page; the Tera Compute team follows up to discuss whether there's a fit.

Two people shaking hands over interlocking puzzle pieces, surrounded by icons for growth, a shared goal and a wider network.

02 Why partner

What partnering with Cohort 1 offers

Stated honestly, and without guarantees. Cohort 1 is the first edition — early partners help define how Prodigy Ideathon works with organisations as it recurs.

A real presence, not a placement

Partnerships are scoped as experiences — a session, a challenge, a judging seat, a clinic — that students and educators actually take part in.

Access to schools that are hard to reach

Cohort 1 runs inside participating private schools across Delhi NCR, with direct contact with principals, coordinators and STEM educators.

Association with youth innovation

Be part of a credible, structured programme that takes students from a real problem to a defended solution — and says something about what your organisation values.

Thought leadership

Shape a challenge theme, contribute to the framework, or put your practitioners in front of the next generation as mentors and judges.

Visibility across the cohort

Named recognition across programme collateral, event creatives, the website and post-event reporting, truthfully representing your role.

A relationship that can grow

Cohort 1 is the first edition. Early partners help define how Prodigy Ideathon works with organisations as it recurs and scales.

What a partnership is — and isn't

  • Partnerships do not promise leads, admissions, guaranteed conversions or commercial outcomes.
  • Recognition and engagement are scoped to what is genuinely delivered in Cohort 1.
  • Any use of a partner’s name or marks is agreed in writing and truthfully represents the relationship.
  • Activities involving students follow the programme’s safeguarding and consent requirements.
