Universities and Faculty Mentors are named contributors in that record, not incidental attendees.
"Every contributor (Sponsors, Speakers, Research Students, Faculty Mentors, Moderators, Jury, SMEs, ASMEs, FSMEs, Support Team, Universities, Knowledge Partners) is proposed to receive a permanent profile page on www.vbcworld.in, amplified editorially via www.indiaglobalnews.com." Universities and Faculty Mentors are both explicitly named in that contributor list.
| Role | Primary Contribution | Digital Legacy Status |
|---|---|---|
| Student Delegate | Contributes to the White Paper research ecosystem | Research Student profile page (proposed) |
| Faculty Mentor | Connects to the Faculty-Validated Research Papers figure (7,500–12,000) | Faculty Mentor profile page (proposed) |
| University | Counted in "Universities Participating" (3,000+) | University profile page (proposed) |
At the national-impact level, Student Research Papers Submitted (9,000–15,000) is a larger range than Faculty-Validated Research Papers (7,500–12,000) — the source presents these as two distinct estimated metrics rather than a stated conversion rate. Faculty Mentors are counted separately at 1,500+.
Universities Participating is stated as 3,000+ over the 60-month programme. The source does not break this figure down by city, sector, or tier — that breakdown is not available in the library.
Estimated 60-month digital asset counts given in the source: 30 city pages, 540 session pages, 500+ sponsor pages, 2,000+ speaker pages, 5,000+ student researcher pages, 15,000+ editorial articles.
⚠ These projections are illustrative estimates until real registration data are confirmed — the source itself frames the Digital Legacy Program as "proposed," not live.
As with Student Delegates & Research, no confirmed past-edition University or Faculty Mentor participation evidence exists yet. Evidence Coming Soon / Submit Evidence.
Choose your role — Speaker, Sponsor, Awardee, Exhibitor or Delegate — and route through VB World's unified Express Interest hub.
A named contributor category in the 60-Month Digital Legacy Program's contributor list, alongside Sponsors, Speakers, Research Students, Moderators, Jury, Support Team, Universities and Knowledge Partners.
Yes — Universities are named in the Digital Legacy Program's contributor list, each proposed to receive a permanent profile page on vbcworld.in.
Universities Participating: 3,000+ over the 60-month programme (estimated figure).
Faculty Mentors: 1,500+ over the 60-month programme (estimated figure).
Both are named separately in the Digital Legacy Program's contributor list; the library does not further distinguish their respective responsibilities.
The Digital Legacy Program is described as proposing a "permanent profile page," not an edition-specific one.
Per sales-governance language, visibility-distribution claims must be framed as programme capabilities/ambitions only, never guaranteed outcomes — this applies equally here.
VB World is a business ecosystem/platform operated by India Global Expo News Platform Private Limited.
IGEN World is part of the digital ecosystem operated by India Global Expo News Platform Private Limited. IGEN World is intended to provide a year-round digital layer for business visibility, industry information, networking, knowledge and ecosystem engagement.
Yes. The two platforms are presented as connected components of one broader ecosystem — VB World is the Physical Business Ecosystem, and IGEN World is the Digital Business Ecosystem.
The legal entity is India Global Expo News Platform Private Limited (CIN: U82300KA2025PTC213136, GSTIN: 29AAICI5897E1ZZ), displayed consistently across VB World and IGEN World.
Yes. India Global Expo News Platform Private Limited is recognised as a startup by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India, under the Startup India initiative (Certificate No. DIPP275775, recognised 06 August 2026).
Directly on the official Startup India portal: startupindia.gov.in — search Certificate No. DIPP275775, or use the direct verification link in our Trust Centre.
No. Government recognition of an eligible startup is not the same as government endorsement of any specific event, claim, partner or commercial activity conducted through the platform.
The CIN and GSTIN help stakeholders identify the legal corporate entity and registered tax identity behind the platform, creating a direct, verifiable connection between the website and its corporate registration.
Because our approach to trust is based on transparency rather than claims. We identify the legal organisation behind the platforms, disclose corporate identifiers, present our DPIIT recognition and its official verification link, explain our business ecosystem, and identify our leadership team. Trust is not a badge — it is a process of transparency, evidence and accountability.
Three decades of repeat investment from India's biggest names is the clearest proof of ICE Mega Expo's exhibition value.
