In its vision for the future, the team chose not just to sustain the current success but build on it by expanding its’ role in the promotion and celebration of entrepreneurship in the state. And when one speaks of entrepreneurship in Tamilnadu two trends are evident - there is growing innovation across sectors and instances of entrepreneurs from across the state succeeding are leaping as well. This meant the larger role being envisaged for TiE Chennai must have a growing engagement and also celebrate significant entrepreneurial successes across the state.
