Shatranj – The Entrepreneurship Weekender stands as the premier intercollegiate entrepreneurship fest of Ashoka University, a celebration of strategy, creativity, and enterprise. Just as every move on a chessboard shapes the outcome of the game, every decision at Shatranj defines the future of innovation. Entrepreneurs, much like chess players, think several steps ahead, balancing risk, opportunity, and vision. Shatranj is where these minds converge to play the ultimate game of ideas.

The 2024 edition marked a defining move in Shatranj’s journey. Over 450 participants from top universities engaged in 20+ dynamic events and flagship competitions. With 16 curated Haat stalls, 10+ brand partnerships, and powerful speaker sessions featuring Bombay Shaving Company and IndiaMart, the fest brought learning, networking, and celebration together under one roof. 

In 2025, Shatranj expands its board. Anticipating over 2000 participants and 30+ events, this edition promises a richer, more immersive experience, from a reimagined Haat Zone with 25+ premium stalls to exclusive networking lunches, speaker sessions, and headline performances. It’s a larger-than-ever convergence of intellect and innovation, where every participant is both player and strategist in the evolving game of enterprise.

At its heart, Shatranj 2025 embodies what entrepreneurship truly is the art of foresight, the courage to make bold moves, and the creativity to turn vision into victory.
