About

Startup Saturday Ahmedabad brings to you another expert session of- "Unlocking the Industrial IoT: A Game-Changing Technology" on 15th December 2018 at CIIE, IIM-A from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. “If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things - using data they gathered without any help from us - we would be able to track and count everything, and greatly reduce waste, loss, and cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether they were fresh or past their best. We need to empower computers with their own means of gathering information, so they can see, hear and smell the world for themselves, in all its random glory.” - From an article by Ashton published in the RFID Journal in 1999 What makes IIoT after all a game-changing technology? To put it simply - IIoT is a bridge that integrates the physical dimension with the digital one and enables overall smarter living. To put it more robotically - IIoT is a superpower that brings together magnificent machines with sensors, big data analytics, and people at work to help prevent ALL types of problems that are faced by humans and nature. The present IIoT scenario is versatile with deployments going live in various enterprises, in rural villages, in urban spaces, in space centers and even in meditation centers! IIoT is no more confined just to hardware, instead, it is blossoming vividly with variegated intelligent tech stack. Here's are some questions you can expect to get answered in this #SSAHD session: 1. How to build a business concentrated on Industrial IOT? 2. Do I need to know to code to get started with an IIoT startup? 3. How do I get in IIoT tech if I am just a beginner or know nothing? 4. How does a business model of an IIoT startup differ from a normal startup? 5. What are the existing IIoT technologies and how can I set my unique position in the same market? 6. Will a world full of IIoT tech be a utopian (ideal) world? 7. Can IIoT eradicate all the suffering of humanity? If yes, up to which extent & if no, then what next? 8. You know about how IIoT can revolutionize humanity and transcend our limitations, but how do you actually make that happen? With Industrial IoT, there are few use cases which are consistently remaining constant within the same trade, despite different industries. Here are a few such IIoT use cases: 1. Asset tracking and monitoring 2. Automation of manual processes 3. Predictive maintenance 4. Improving safety and security 5. Buildings: energy efficiency and/or automation 6. Enhanced customer engagement and customer satisfaction 7. Data intelligence to do strategic planning 8. The more agile and efficient product design process "The IoT in Manufacturing market size is estimated to grow from USD 6.17 Billion in 2016 to USD 20.59 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 27.2% from 2016 to 2021 The IoT market in intelligent transportation systems is expected to reach $143.93 billion by 2020 at an estimated CAGR of 8.95% from 2014 to 2020 The global IoT Energy market is estimated to grow from USD 7.59 Billion in 2015 to USD 22.34 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 24.1% during the forecast period of 2015-2020. The Smart Water Management market is estimated to grow from USD 8.46 Billion in 2016 to USD 20.10 Billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.9% during the forecast period 2016 to 2021" Clearly, IoT and IIoT systems are beginning to take shape and transform life and work as we know it. Team headstart Ahmedabad will be bringing together some of the best experts in the Industrial IoT space to discuss the opportunities Industrial IoT provides - ranging from space travel, wellbeing, food tech, water, energy, transportation, and manufacturing. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or just plain curious about how IIoT will transform the earth, this Startup Saturday is the place to be!

Founders here come to know a few brands well.

Those are eChai’s partner brands. Over a year, founders across the network learn their names and their work, and when somebody asks around for what they do, theirs is the name that comes up.

What a year inside eChai does for your brand.

Each partnership comes with presence across eChai, introductions to the right founders, and a team that stays involved through the year. And each one is shaped around what the brand wants out of it.

Who you meet

Founders learn your name, then your work.

Over the year they keep running into you: at the gatherings, in the series, on the pages they read through the week. So when one of them needs what you do, they come straight to you.
We introduce you to the people you want to reach.

After seventeen years of gatherings we know who has built what, and who works with whom. Tell us who you are after, or we come to you when the right person shows up, with your story and why you two should talk.
You are invited to the gatherings that fit.

Open houses, Demo Days, the AI sessions, FailCode, the curated socials and the smaller dinners, some of them by invitation. When one fits what you do and who you want to meet, you are on the list.

What we do with you

We sit down with you on your story, your brand and your business.

One to one, more than once in the year. We have heard a few thousand founders, so you hear fairly quickly what is working, what is not, and what we would change first.
We take your team through what AI changed for us.

Almost everything eChai builds now has AI in the workflow. We go through what we tried, what worked and what wasted our time, and then connect you to founders further along than us.
You can ask us anything, whenever it comes up.

Every week we hear what founders are building, what they recommend to each other and what they have moved on from. Twice a year we go through what it means for your category. In between we answer, or find a founder who can.

Where your name runs

Your mark comes round under every page on eChai.

The wall of partner brands under the site's pages draws a different ten each time, so yours comes round on the city pages, the event pages and the notes founders read, all year. Your page on echai.ventures stays up after it, and your name runs through our LinkedIn, Instagram and X.
The blue tick puts you first wherever founders are listed.

The tick and your company's mark sit beside your name across eChai, and lists of founders put the blue ticks first: your city's people, the directory, and the roster of every gathering you go to, after its hosts and speakers.
Your company carries its mark on the Startup Grid.

Where your company is on a city's map of its startups, it is drawn by your mark rather than a dot, opens on your own words and pictures, and is a stop on the tour the map offers of its partner brands.
You write and speak here under your own name.

You come into the series we run online (How Founders Use AI, the founder conversations, the long reads) where you have something real to say, and you write in Founder Notes, where founders across our cities write about what they are building.

The brands working with us.

How it works.

A partnership is for growth stage founders who want to come in as a partner brand, and it runs one year at a time. The brand fee for the year is paid to eChai. An affiliate share runs alongside it, linked to the outcomes we drive together. Both carry GST.

Everything a partnership comes with
