THINK. Beyond Silicon Valley

July 28, Friday, 2017
9:30pm — 12:00am (GMT+05:30)
Zone Startups/IndiaBSE Building, 18th Floor, Dalal Street
Event Details:

Are you India's most innovative tech startup poised to take over Global market?

The Next BIG Idea Contest is an annual feature of Zone Startups India's ecosystem development activities. Through the Contest, our aim is to identify 5 hi-tech, hi-potential Indian startups and provide them a 2-week, fully paid-for soft landing in Toronto, North America's 3rd largest technology hub. While in Toronto, the companies will be housed at the DMZ, Canada and North America's #1 technology incubator; and will get access to a bespoke program including market mentorship, industry connects, investor meetings and a great international exposure.
Over the past 4-years, the Next BIG Idea Contest winners have gone on to raise significant investment. Some of the past winners include CitrusPay, Vidooly, ShieldSquare, Plackal, Flip Technologies, AdSparx, Konotor.

Increasingly, Indian entrepreneurs are building global companies. Right from the outset, there is an aspiration to build products and reach out to a global audience. For a very long time, companies seeking to go global, largely targeted the U.S market as their first international customer. For entrepreneurs building tech ventures, Silicon Valley has been the BIG dream. However, not only is it difficult for companies to make a dent right away but, for the last few years, there have been several more global tech hot beds that have emerged, which are more welcoming towards such young startups.

At this panel discussion, you will hear about the opportunities presented by Canada, UK and Israel; as well as hear from leading corporates, as to what they have been witnessing in some of the emerging tech hotbeds. The panel discussion will be covered in leading news channel, and it will be followed by the launch of the 5th edition Next BIG Idea Contest - wherein your startup could be one of the 5 lucky winners to travel to Toronto, for a 2 week bespoke program at the DMZ, Canada's #1 technology business accelerator.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
