HPCL Start-up India Scheme Logo Design Contest

“Start-up India” is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, intended to build a strong eco-system for nurturing innovation and Start-ups in the country that will drive sustainable economic growth and generate large scale employment opportunities.

Backing the spirit of innovation, 10 CPSEs under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MOP&NG) have created a corpus of Rs.320 Crore for promoting Start-ups in the field of Energy and Oil & Gas.  HPCL has allocated an initial fund of Rs.25 Crore for nurturing Start-ups under “HPCL Start-up India” Scheme.

In order to have a powerful connect of this scheme with all the stakeholders, we plan to give a name to “HPCL Start-up India” Initiative and also develop an appropriate logo for the same.

Accordingly, we invite all of you to put on your thinking caps and submit options on Name along with Logo design for our Start-Up initiative (For example: BPCL, IOCL and GAIL have named their initiatives as ‘Project Ankur’, ‘Ind^s-up’ and ‘Pankh’ respectively).  The name and logo design can be submitted in any format (including sketch image) along with a proper theme and a suitable tag line. In addition, a small paragraph regarding the choice of the theme is also requested to be submitted along with the design.
