Join us as we try to inspire and prepare the next wave of Indian Entrepreneurs who know how to create impact and keep on innovating!

Create impact and keep on innovating. In a startup journey, there are three major stages: 0, 1 and n. At 0, you are just beginning and your idea is all you have. At 1, you have your startup established. At n, your startup is expanding and scaling-up. In the journey from 0 to 1, we hope to create something that would impact society in a huge way. We want to disrupt the usual flow of the way things work. In the journey from 1 to n, every startup while scaling-up faces a lot of disruptions. With these constant disruptions, it becomes difficult to keep on innovating. This year, we explore the ways to deal with these Dilemmas of Disruption. Join us as we try to inspire
