Youth led entrepreneurship took the spotlight in Indore as the Madhya Pradesh Chapter of Young Entrepreneurs Forum hosted the YEF Bharat Summit 2025, a flagship gathering rooted in the philosophy of “Nation First”. Held on December 20, 2025 at the Brilliant Convention Center, the day long summit brought together more than 1,000 young entrepreneurs from across India to engage in dialogue around values driven business, ethical leadership, and national progress.
The summit was inaugurated by Shri Mohan Yadav, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, and was graced by Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon’ble Union Minister of Communications. The gathering also saw the presence of prominent voices including Raj Shamani, spiritual speaker Amogh Lila Das, Vikas Khemani, and several other leaders and changemakers from business, policy, and civil society.

Addressing the audience, Shri Mohan Yadav spoke about Madhya Pradesh’s rapid development and its strategic advantages as a centrally located state with cost effective logistics and transportation. He emphasised that entrepreneurship has the power to transform lives and encouraged young entrepreneurs to make full use of government policies and institutional support. He noted that the state’s progress over the last two years has positioned Madhya Pradesh among India’s fastest developing regions and congratulated the Young Entrepreneurs Forum for its efforts in nurturing a new generation of entrepreneurs guided by innovation and discipline.
The YEF Bharat Summit 2025 focused on building a collaborative ecosystem where young founders could exchange ideas, share resources, and explore opportunities that support both business growth and national development. Anchored in the spirit of “Nation First”, the summit promoted responsible and value based entrepreneurship as a key driver of India’s economic journey.

Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, addressing the gathering, underlined the central role of young entrepreneurs in shaping not only India’s future but the global economy. He highlighted the growth of India’s startup ecosystem, noting its expansion from a few hundred startups in 2014 to over two lakh by 2025, alongside the rise in unicorns that has positioned India as one of the world’s leading startup hubs. He spoke about the broader economic transformation underway in sectors such as automobiles, telecommunications, and information technology, attributing this progress to sustained policy reforms and institutional change.
Speaking on the occasion, Rajat Jain, Founder of Kimirica and organiser of the Young Entrepreneurs Forum, announced the launch of the YEF Bharat Indore chapter at the summit. He described the event as a call to action for young entrepreneurs to align ambition with national responsibility, stating that entrepreneurship driven by values and discipline can act as a powerful force for unity, job creation, and long term progress.

In the welcome address, Ankit Agrawal, Director of MDPH and organiser of the Young Entrepreneurs Forum, said hosting the summit in Indore reflected a sincere effort to help shape the entrepreneurial future of the country. He observed that while today’s youth have access to technology and marketing tools, guidance and courage remain essential for translating ideas into sustainable enterprises.
The summit also featured a first of its kind reverse live podcast hosted by Raj Shamani and moderated by Mohit Jain, Co Founder of Kimirica. The session added a contemporary dimension to the discussions, encouraging candid exchanges between speakers and participants.

Leaders including Deepak Visputeji, Amogh Lila Das, and Shri Chetanya Kashyap, Hon’ble Minister for MSME, addressed the audience, highlighting the importance of purpose driven entrepreneurship, ethical business conduct, and the contribution of young enterprises to nation building.
Founded by entrepreneurs from Madhya Pradesh, YEF Bharat has emerged as a collective platform of organised and responsible business leaders inspired by national service. Through mentorship, dialogue, and shared learning, the forum encourages young entrepreneurs to measure success not only by profits but by their contribution to society and the country.
The YEF Bharat Summit 2025 reinforced this vision by creating a space for guidance, inspiration, and collaboration, reaffirming the belief that entrepreneurship guided by values and a nation first mindset can play a decisive role in building a self reliant and inclusive India.
