On Saturday, 06th December 2025, IMT CDL Ghaziabad conducted an insightful online session on Problem Solving & AI-Driven Ideation via a Virtual Platform, featuring Mr. Vinay Bhartia (Founder & CEO, 26ideas startupOS; ex-Alibaba, ByteDance, Bird). The session began with Welcome & Remarks by Dean Academics, Dr. Ashok Sharma, followed by a deep dive into taking ideas from zero to live using AI and no-code tools. Mr. Bhartia emphasized customer understanding, data-driven validation, and the “Working Backwards” approach, while also explaining TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing and funding opportunities. Participants explored the “26 Ideas” framework, reviewed diverse student concepts, and observed AI-based rapid prototyping where functional web apps were built in minutes. The session helped learners understand how to identify real and frequent problems, validate them with customer insights, and move toward early-stage prototypes using AI-first systems, building a strong foundation for future entrepreneurial ventures.
