Pankh 2026 is led by the District Administration, Ujjain and powered by MPIDC RO Ujjain — created to find, guide and back the region's most promising entrepreneurs.
Across Ujjain there are people with the drive to build — some want to set up an industry, some carry an idea they have never had the chance to launch, and some already run a startup that could grow much faster with the right support.
Pankh 2026 exists to bring them forward. Through a transparent, merit-based process, the initiative identifies fifty of the most promising participants and gives them structured training, mentorship and the backing of MPIDC — so that a good idea does not stay just an idea.
To transform the Ujjain region into a leading hub of young industrial innovation by eliminating knowledge, skill and network barriers for aspiring first-generation entrepreneurs.
