Learn MoreEII is a credible, professionally-run institution dedicated to financial literacy and hands-on equity research for high school students across India.
Despite India having one of the world's most dynamic stock markets, high school students have almost no structured exposure to equity research, financial analysis, or investment thinking.
EII was founded to change that — by creating a rigorous, prestigious platform where students engage with real companies, real data, and real market professionals.
The Conference was designed to be what MUN is to global affairs — the gold standard competitive event for students passionate about finance and markets.
We built EII because we believed that the best way to learn finance is not in a classroom — it's in the pressure of a live pitch to professionals who know every number you're presenting.
We believe every student deserves access to real-world finance education — not just those who study commerce in college.
High school students have no structured exposure to equity research, investment analysis, or the skills required to engage with India's capital markets.
A hands-on competition where students research real companies, build investment theses, and present to industry professionals — learning by doing.
To become India's most prestigious student finance competition — the event every aspiring investor, analyst, and entrepreneur wants on their profile.
EII occupies a category of its own — where finance meets competition at the highest student level.
You research NIFTY 50 and SENSEX-listed companies — the same names that appear on Bloomberg terminals and analyst reports.
Your thesis must be grounded in actual financial data — P&L statements, balance sheets, sector dynamics, and macro factors.
Your pitch is evaluated by practicing equity analysts, fund managers, and finance professionals from leading Indian firms.
A team of passionate students and mentors dedicated to building India's most rigorous student finance competition.

Explore the Conference →EII Conference 2026 — like MUN, but for equity markets. Here's exactly how it works.
EII Conference 2026 is a single-day (or multi-day) event where high school students present equity research pitches on assigned NIFTY 50 and SENSEX companies to a panel of finance industry judges.
Every delegate receives a company allocation in advance, conducts independent research, and builds a complete investment thesis — then defends it live in front of professionals.
From application to awards — here's exactly what the EII Conference journey looks like.
Complete the online delegate application form. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — early applicants get priority.
Once accepted, you're assigned a NIFTY 50 or SENSEX-listed company via a structured draw process. All sectors are represented.
Deep-dive into your company. Analyze financials, understand the business model, assess competitive positioning, and form a clear investment view: Buy, Hold, or Sell?
Structure your findings into a compelling pitch deck. Your thesis must include: financial analysis, valuation, risk factors, and a clear recommendation with conviction.
10-minute presentation followed by a 5-minute Q&A with the judging panel. You must be ready to defend every number, every assumption, every recommendation.
Winners are announced at the closing ceremony. All delegates receive certificates. Top performers may receive internship referrals, LinkedIn endorsements, and more.
Delegates are allocated companies from two of India's most important indices — the NIFTY 50 and SENSEX — covering every major sector of the Indian economy.
Company allocation is randomized to ensure fairness. All companies are public, with freely available financial data — the same information professional analysts work with.
Recognition that matters — credentials that open real doors.
The most compelling, well-structured investment thesis as judged by the panel.
Exceptional depth of financial analysis and quality of supporting data.
Outstanding performance from a first-time delegate showing exceptional potential.
All delegates receive a certificate of participation — a genuine career credential.
