Chandigarh, November 3, 2026: A student entrepreneurship event held in Sector 26 has put a spotlight on how young people across Chandigarh Tricity are learning the basics of business by making and presenting products themselves. The Kidpreneur gala, organised by Panchkula-based Prep Right Institute at Strawberry Fields High School on October 31, featured 104 stalls run by children aged 6 to 15, according to reports published on November 1 and 2.
The event brought together small-scale creative ventures in a format that gave participants a chance to move beyond classroom discussions of entrepreneurship. Students displayed products, explained their ideas and interacted with visitors in a real-world market-style setting.
104 stalls turn business lessons into practical experience
At Kidpreneur, children presented a range of handmade and creative products. Reported examples included stationery, beaded mirrors, paracord bag charms, hand-painted pouches, tote bags and do-it-yourself kits. These were not announcements of incorporated companies or funded startups. Rather, the stalls were short-form learning projects that introduced young participants to the work involved in preparing, presenting and explaining a product.
The 104-stall figure is a count of displays reported by the organisers and media, not a verified count of registered businesses or commercial sales. No audited revenue, visitor turnout or investment total was provided in the reports reviewed.
A Panchkula organiser and Chandigarh venue connect the Tricity education ecosystem
The event was organised by Prep Right Institute, Panchkula, and hosted at Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26, Chandigarh. That cross-city arrangement is notable for a region where schools, training institutes and community organisations often draw participants from Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.
For parents and educators, a practical entrepreneurship exercise can help demonstrate the difference between having a creative idea and communicating it clearly to other people. Participants may have to think about materials, presentation, teamwork and how to describe a product to a potential customer. The event’s reported emphasis was on learning and confidence, rather than on claiming commercial success.
Creative Bees stall highlights handmade products
One of the initiatives mentioned in coverage was The Creative Bees, a team of four young participants who displayed craft-based products. Their range reportedly included accessories, stationery and handmade items. The example illustrates how simple product categories can become a starting point for conversations about design, packaging, presentation and customer preferences.
News coverage identified the group as a standout exhibit, but there are no verified figures for its sales or future business plans. The emphasis should remain on the children’s participation and learning.
Why early entrepreneurship matters for local education businesses
Chandigarh Tricity has an established network of schools, coaching institutes and skills-training providers. Events that combine creativity with a market-style showcase offer a different format from conventional competitions and lectures. They can give children an opportunity to practise communication and decision-making while working with tangible products.
For education providers, such programmes may also provide a model for experiential learning, where students learn by completing a project rather than only discussing a topic. That potential is an educational interpretation, not evidence that the Kidpreneur event has already produced new companies or measurable employment.
What comes next for Kidpreneur?
The reports reviewed confirm the October 31 event and its 104 stalls. They do not establish a confirmed date for another edition, a formal incubation programme or follow-on funding for participants. Any future plans should be confirmed directly with the organisers before being described as scheduled.
The immediate news is straightforward: a Panchkula education organisation brought an entrepreneurship-focused event to Chandigarh, giving children an accessible platform to showcase original products and practise business skills. It is a positive local example of the region’s growing interest in practical learning.
