The previous year’s Hult Prize judges were more than evaluators—they were "torchbearers of wisdom, conviction, and courage". With seasoned insight and unflinching curiosity, they challenged ideas, sharpened visions, and pushed student founders to think beyond limits. Their questions ignited clarity, their feedback built resilience, and their presence transformed pitches into purpose-driven journeys. Through their guidance, innovation met accountability, and ambition learned direction. They didn’t just judge solutions—they 'shaped mindsets, elevated impact, and inspired a generation of changemakers' at the University of Calcutta.
