The India Portfolio Summit '23
The India Portfolio Summit is Conquest’s weekend-long annual virtual summit, with the vision of engaging with a wider community in the startup ecosystem.
This year, the summit is set to take place on 27-28 May, and aims to introduce the bustling ecosystem of aspiring entrepreneurs and startup enthusiasts to this unique assortment of tales through one-on-one fireside chats, open to all AMA sessions and engaging panel discussions with other founders and connect with the youth of today to mould the future of tomorrow.
'The India Portfolio’ by Conquest, BITS Pilani aims to bridge the knowledge gap through interviews and candid conversations with founders across eras who have been pivotal to the evolution of startups in India.
Last year’s summit chronicled in detail the nuanced history of Indian businesses, through the lens of a founder. The landscape on which Indian founders have built businesses has changed a lot in the past 40 years, and will continue to do so.
This year, we seek to pick up where we left off, turning our attention to the possibilities that India’s rapid innovation brings for our future, with technologies like the ‘India Stack’ revolutionising the Indian Startup Ecosystem. With massive increases in India’s public infrastructure, and groundbreaking innovation across sectors like Web3, AI, FinTech, and FMCG, we see India ‘Blitz-Scaling’, with radical changes in shortened timescales.
The lineup of speakers for this year is assured to captivate your curiosity, leaving you impatiently anticipating what comes next! Register now!
