Bengaluru, karnataka, Come March 6th and India will witness coming together of Technology Entrepreneurs - from different industries, from different stages in their business lifecycle for UnPluggd Event.
If you are an entrepreneur, you must have heard of these statements (from startups/VCs/media etc)
* Consumer Internet is just not happening in India (i.e. one cannot build a profitable Internet company from India)
* You cannot build a global technology company from India without spending a fortune [read: cash strapped startups cannot build one]
* Global Brand from India? We dont have many! [i.e. startups cannot even think of this!]
* You always need funding to make it big.
The BraveHearts of Indian Startup Ecosystem have defied all of these rules and have built businesses thrashing all the existing myths.
UnPluGGD, a startup event, scheduled for March 6th, 2010 will change your perspective on state of entrepreneurship in India. We bring to you startups/small businesses who have made it significantly big and we want you to hear out their stories, the challenges they faced, the tough phase that they went through.
The event is supported by Honeywell and a few other sponsors.
Honeywell thrives on innovation to meet its customer needs globally. In todays world, innovation can come from various avenues & it is imperative for global companies to establish a network of sourcing mechanisms to access this. A structured platform for startups to showcase innovations & work with Honeywell on its customers pain points will create a new value stream for both. - mentions Harsha Angeri, Director - Strategy and Initiatives at Honeywell.
The Startup Ecosystem in India is no more an infant, though still very young. Unpluggd event is a sincere attempt by its core organizing team to spiflicate the prevalent industry myths & perceptions and to inspire an alternate way to build Indian economy; unlike previous generations. - Amarinder Singh, Organizing Member of UnPluGGd
The startups that are part of the UnPluGGd event have built a strong brand and defied the standard wisdom of doing business. Call them the underdogs.
Did they raise money? How did they bootstrap? Was it really the first stroke that was successful? These startups will share their part of the story and the insights behind the success.
Not just that, every startup can speak about itself. Share the real issues, infrastructure dependencies, monetary needs etc. Collaborate, showcase and network in an all open manner.
The event is supported by several other companies who support the ecosystem - NuvoJuris, NeevTech and MetaYage.
