Key Themes and Tracks
- Reimagining India’s Next ‘Techade’ – Experts believe that India’s high-growth startups and the growing number of unicorns will play a significant role in boosting India’s share and innovation prowess in the global digital economy. They believe that this decade will be India’s techade.
- Build for Bharat; Build for the World – Even as Indian startups are eyeing global expansion and looking for opportunities to scale at the international level, they also need to focus on creating products and finding solutions for the growing internet user base within the country. With India’s internet user base set to touch 900 million by 2025, the Indian digital ecosystem and product-tech innovations need to evolve to solve for Bharat.
- League of Future Unicorns and Decacorns– India is home to over 100+ unicorns so far. With another 100+ startups waiting in the wings to become the next unicorns and decacorns of India, here we will deep-dive into the key challenges and opportunities for India’s fast-growing league of future unicorns to track, predict, and accelerate their growth, while fostering the right connections and collaborations needed to help them scale.
- Innovating for a more connected world – As part of the conversations under this theme we will try to understand and decipher the current and future innovations that have accelerated the pace of digitisation and tech adoption in the post-pandemic era. We will seek to highlight how the current transformation in the communication industry has spotlighted the need for tech to solve and improve the way we connect and the remote-friendly products/solutions we use.
- Building Equitable Sustainable Brands – Understanding what it takes for businesses to build hyper-growth startups by deciphering how organizations are now shifting their focus beyond valuations, growth and blitzscaling by establishing sound corporate governance measures and strong fundamentals to create robust, sustainable brands that last and stand out from the rest.
- Fundraising in the new normal – While 2021 was a record-breaker in terms of startup funding raised and new unicorns created, we examine the private market investment trends unfolding in 2022, amidst geopolitical tensions, inflation, and an ongoing pandemic.
