Together 2022, an Entrepreneurship Bootcamp and Venture Competition held in the first week of January 2022, featured 100 pairs of inspired student entrepreneurs handpicked from over 17,000+ Indian colleges and 700+ universities.
Each venture team presented or pitched ideas of innovation across several sectors of national importance to unleash business opportunities suitable for the Indian commercial landscape.

Recruited by Startup India and supported by teams of top Masters Students from Schulich School of Business, these students were divided in groups and mentored by a pair of mentors (one from India and the other from Canada).
We feel extremely proud to share that our Founder and Managing Direct Mr. Ritesh Mahindrakar was one of the mentors who supported these innovators and helped them refine their pitches for the judges.
The startup team assigned to them was- MEDiCOS, an AI-powered healthcare platform that enables doctors to write digital prescriptions and easy access to electronic health records for diagnosis and predictions. Self learning AI aims to reduce the total consultation time to less than a minute. Analyzing public health data to predict the future health hazards and give pre-alerts to patients.
Mr. Mahindrakar was paired with his Montor Partner- Sarah Willson (Panache Ventures) for the mentorships at the “Together 2022” program run by Schulich School of Business, York University Canada and Invest India.
It was a huge matter of honour for team Into Wellness and for Mr. Mahindrakar who mentored and empowered students with a set of tools and skill sets required to ideate in areas of national and global importance and transform the ideas from thoughts to commercially viable businesses.
