Due to the pandemic, a lot of people became jobless. So, keeping this emerging problem in mind- The theme for the 2022 Hult prize is "Getting the World Back to work". The goal is to create jobs, stimulate economies, reimagine supply chains and improve outcomes for 2000 people by 2024 while meeting the sustainable development goals and creating a positive impact on the environment or society. The annual Hult Prize competition seeks to develop and launch the most appealing social business idea- a startup firm that addresses serious challenges confronting billions of people on a daily basis. The winning team will get a one-million-dollar seed investment, as well as mentorship and guidance from the worldwide business community.

For participating, the team of 3 or 4 students should create a business idea that responds to the call of action: Getting the world back to the work creating meaningful work opportunities that employees at least 20,000 people while creating a positive impact on the world and thus the idea is pitched to the panel of judges who will choose the winner for On-Campus.
