About the Award

The RMAI FLAME Student Awards is a unique platform that recognizes outstanding summer internship projects focused on Rural India and Bharat markets.

Every year, students from leading B-Schools and academic institutions across the country submit their live rural projects, field studies, market research, consumer insights, activation ideas, and business solutions undertaken during their summer internships. The awards celebrate young talent that demonstrates innovation, understanding of rural consumers, strategic thinking, and real on-ground impact.

The platform offers students an opportunity to present their work before an esteemed industry jurycomprising leaders from marketing, media, rural business, research, development, and corporate sectors.

If your summer internship project explored Rural India, emerging markets, agri-business, rural distribution, financial inclusion, mobility, sustainability, or Bharat-focused innovation — this is your opportunity to showcase your work at a national platform.

Winners of the RMAI FLAME Student Awards 2026 will be recognized among the best emerging young minds working towards the future of Bharat.
