Lighting up Young Entrepreneurial Dreams: SPK Jain Futuristic Academy Hosted Diwali Mela 2.0

Lighting up Young Entrepreneurial Dreams: SPK Jain Futuristic Academy Hosted Diwali Mela 2.0

Kolkata, 5 November, 2026: Giving entrepreneurship a young and festive twist, SPK Jain Futuristic Academy brought its students face-to-face with the world of business through Young Entrepreneurs’ Diwali Mela 2.0. The event transformed the spirit of Diwali into an engaging entrepreneurial experience, where students took the lead, put their ideas into action and discovered the excitement of running their own ventures.
The occasion was graced by Dipannita Acharya, renowned folk singer and performer, whose presence added to the festive celebrations. The occasion was also marked by the presence of Shri Ashok Minni, Senior Member and Trustee of Shree Shwetambar Sthanakvasi Jain Sabha, whose association reflected the Sabha’s continued commitment to nurturing young minds through education, values and community initiatives. The Mela offered students more than just an opportunity to celebrate Diwali; it gave them a chance to experience entrepreneurship first-hand, take ownership of their ideas and understand what went into running a venture. Through their stalls and initiatives, students explored the basics of business, interacted with customers and discovered the importance of creativity, teamwork and decision-making. By bringing classroom concepts into a real-world setting, the initiative made learning more engaging and allowed students to understand entrepreneurship through experience rather than textbooks.
What made this Diwali Mela even more special was its focus on giving back to the community. Reflecting the philanthropic vision of Shree Shwetambar Sthanakvasi Jain Sabha, the proceeds from the Mela will be donated to Hope Foundation, an NGO working for underprivileged children, to make their Diwali celebrations a little happier. The Mela will also bring together the school community through performances by students and teachers, with parents joining in the celebrations. Children from Hope Foundation will also be part of the programme with a special performance. Through this initiative, students will not only get an opportunity to learn about business, but also understand the importance of sharing, responsibility and making a difference in the lives of others. The experience encourages them to think independently, take initiative and develop a better understanding of money management while bringing entrepreneurship and the spirit of giving together.
Sharing her thoughts on the initiative, Dr Jayeeta Ganguly, Principal of SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, said, “At SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, we believe that some of the most valuable lessons come from experiences beyond the classroom. Young Entrepreneurs’ Diwali Mela gave our students an opportunity to explore their ideas, understand the basics of business and learn the importance of teamwork, responsibility and decision-making. What makes this initiative even more meaningful is that it allows children to experience the joy of giving and understand how their efforts can bring happiness to others.” Adding to this, Shri Jaideep Patwa, Secretary of SPK Jain Futuristic Academy, remarked, “The Mela reflects the values and philanthropic vision of Shree Shwetambar Sthanakvasi Jain Sabha. We want our students to understand that success is not just about what we achieve for ourselves, but also about what we can do for others. By supporting Hope Foundation through this initiative, we hope to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children and inspire our students to grow into responsible and compassionate individuals.”
As the celebrations brought the Mela to a close, the experience left behind something more valuable than a festive memory. For the young participants, it was a glimpse into the world of entrepreneurship, where ideas turned into action and small initiatives offered big lessons. Young Entrepreneurs’ Diwali Mela 2.0 stood as a reminder that some of the most meaningful lessons in life began when students were given the freedom to explore, experiment and take the lead.
