IBAzaar is a grand entrepreneurial festival celebrated once in a year during the Orientation Gala of IBA. This exciting activity features entrepreneurial clusters that house IBA student-led ventures, IBA alumni-led ventures, and IBA CED alumni to showcase their innovative ideas and projects.

This year our theme is Technology Entrepreneurship which includes entrepreneurial mindset, basic electronics, and game development.
