PUNE: In an era
where success rate of start ups is still low, Ideas and Talent will play an
important role, opined experts. The Indus Entrepreneurs, a Not for profit
making organisation organised the seventh edition of TiECON, a unique two day
initiative for start ups at The Westin Hotel Koregaon Park. More than 500 start
ups from across India took part in the event.
In a jugalbandi
session between start ups and grown ups moderated by TiECON 2019
chairperson Vineet Patni saw stalwarts and Corporate Advisor R. Gopal Krishnan
and Angel Investor and mentor R. Narayanan share some interesting insights on
startups and grown ups.
R. Narayanan who has been deeply involved in start ups said
that while the success rate in start ups is still low and the start up industry
has to yet take off we should not be judgemental. Just like a baby tries to
walk and falls down to get up again and in the process learns to walk,
similarly we should not stress start ups what not to do, instead they should be
given a free hand.
R. Gopal krishnan said that start up is like a new baby born
and one has to nuture it. The good thing is that they are young and have no
boundaries and fear and then only thing they see is success and there is a
learning process in free wheeling environment.
Talking about ideas Paani Foundation Satyajit Bhatkal
CEO Paani Foundation said that the water cup revolution started during the
Satyameya Jayate series and we came across a startling fact that there is no
problem in India which has not been solved but the solution has restricted to a
specific area or village and has not converted into mass movement . So we have
the know how but no scale and i think communication is the missing link between
these two.
Kiran Rao said that I am a city girl and my idea of village
came from paintings, film shoots and didn't really get a chance to know more
about them . Going to villages changed my perspective about my own life. At
deeper level something had changed and felt more connected with people and in a
sense a bright new world and connected to the vast nature.
Kiran Deshpande, Co-Founder – Mojo Networks & President of
TiE Pune said “Start-ups bring in focus, speed and innovation in their offering
that are often missing in established businesses. India and Pune are emerging
as one of top three start up hubs globally, prompting a global giant like NTT
Data to participate with TiE-Pune for scouting global entrepreneurial talent.
TiECON Pune 2019 shall showcase the very best effort in fostering
entrepreneurship.”
