The Panjab University (PU) Incubation Centre, in collaboration with the Centre of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and PI-RAHI, organised “Business Launchpad 2025” to support young entrepreneurs.

The panel included Dr Narinder Singh Jassal, Senior Scientist, CSIR-CSIO, Manish Verma, co-founder and CEO, AngelBlue, and CA Rakesh Kumar. Six start-ups pitched their ideas before the panel, competing for recognition and funding. After evaluation, UrCompanion by Jatin Pasricha won the first prize of Rs 5,000, sponsored by IDFC First Bank. Farmer’s Market by Sehajpreet Singh Boparai and his team secured second prize.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
