GeNext Innovators Challenge 2026
The Shark Tank for the medical community. Bring the problem you see every day in a ward, clinic or classroom — leave with guidance, mentors and funding.
People who work closest to patients see problems first. GIC gives those observations a live stage at ARMSCON — the Annual Rohtak Medical Students’ Conference, Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences — so they don’t stay in a notebook.
Every great pitch starts as a rant.
A tool, a kit, a smarter test
Apps, platforms, clinical AI
Patient safety, OPD flow, records
New ways to learn and train
Ideas beyond the white coat
Pick one. Fix it. Pitch it.
Patients wait hours; staff can’t see the rush coming.
Critical details lost between shifts.
Patients discharged — and never seen again.
The drug runs out before anyone reorders.
Send your idea online — a short abstract is all it takes.
An expert jury picks the ideas with real-world potential.
Pitch live on the ARMSCON’26 stage.
Guidance, mentorship and funding that continue after the stage.
Senior clinicians and department heads pressure-test your problem and your path to patients.
Mentors who stay with you beyond the stage — from concept and prototype to validation.
Prize money, plus backing from clinicians, founders and investors ready to fund ideas worth building.
Synergistic green nanotechnology
Curcumin–green tea co-loaded polymeric nanoparticles against Enterococcus faecalis — presented by Ankit, BDS final year. Safer, bio-derived nanomaterials for preventive dentistry, endodontic infection control, periodontal regeneration and implant surfaces, with an honest look at the barriers: standardisation, long-term safety, approval and scale-up.

No. Last year’s winners pitched a concept and a set of design drawings. A clear problem and a convincing idea matter most — a prototype is a bonus.
Guidance, mentorship and financial support from the real sharks of the medical community — plus prize money.
