He’s back again on Day 3 at TechSparks 2021 to talk about why he believes India is the next global growth opportunity. You would not want to miss the man with the Midas touch in action.
To date, Hans has backed more than 16 unicorns around the world, including Meili, OfferUp, Peloton, Poshmark, , , and Wish.
Next, we'll have Co-founder and CEO Kabeer Biswas talking to us about getting things ‘Dun’ (pun intended), and the startup’s growth and expansion plans.
Ravi Chhabria, Managing Director of NetApp is set to deliver a powerful keynote around cloud database and why that's the tech that'll rule the future, which is as snug a fit as you can find for our “What’s next” theme this year.

Also, catch them talking about the startup’s plans for the next billion users in India.
Next, we’ll have a really engaging panel featuring CTO, Yash Dayal, and Yellow.ai Co-founder, Rashid Khan, on how companies can use conversational commerce to change consumer behaviour for the good of the consumer, such as preventing them from buying things they don’t really need.
