Calling tech and startup journalists, media and bloggers to TechSparks 2016

Build, Grow and Monetize! That’s the only way real businesses are made. Indian startups are building innovative companies, growing their consumer and customer base, but are they really monetizing these assets? What do millions of customers mean if they don’t transact with you?

Going back to the startup fundamentals of sustaining scale with real numbers and real revenues (and not just valuations), TechSparks 2016 is putting the focus on building real businesses, growing real consumers, and having real revenues (not GMVs).

Scheduled for September 30 and October 1 in Bengaluru, the seventh edition of the most-awaited technology and innovation event, TechSparks will focus on disruptive technologies, sustainable scale, and startup fundamentals.

Meet the next big disruptors, the Tech30 startups

With its ever increasing commitment to showcasing innovative startups from across India, TechSparks showcases the coveted Tech30 list, which includes 30 of the most promising startups that we believe will go a long way: a belief that has stood the test of time in these past six years.

It is no secret that over the years, many of the startups on our annual Tech30 lists have gone on to achieve great heights and leave their mark on the Indian startup ecosystem. Little Eye Labs, Forus, Capillary, Freshdesk, and Loginext are but a few of the Tech30 startups that have become examples to emulate.

Of the 180 startups showcased in the past years, 97 have raised growth capital after they featured on the Tech30 list. In fact, more than $630 million of growth capital has been injected in these startups after they were part of TechSparks’ Tech30 list.
