India, the land of mighty, with $1.42 billion already invested in the start-up ecosystem in the first quarter itself of 2016, has no dearth of disruptive start-ups being born every single minute of the day and none whatsoever of enthusiastic individuals eagerly waiting to discuss & debate them.
Mirroring the practice in the western markets, India has recently become one of the largest and the most active hubs in terms of organizing start-up events. But with the statistics of three to four start ups being born every day, are these events turning into a run of the mill phenomenon with no focus on what additional or unique benefit they offer to the attendees?
This is a question definitely worth considering.
Indian start-ups have made an impact on how the world views it through the entrepreneurial lens and ah! Ventures, the catalyst that has always strived towards bringing together promising businesses and investors, is now set to create a platform on a scale never seen before. We believe that The Entrepreneurs, The Investors and The Enablers, who make the key stakeholders and the cornerstones of the start-up ecosystem of India need to expand their vision and envisage a future that makes them a messiah for what they represent.
It’s time to go beyond standing up.
It’s time to go beyond starting up.
It’s time to go beyond scaling up.
It’s time to now.. STARup.
