Get ready for India 3.0, fam!
In 2008, Shradha Sharma moved to Bengaluru with a mission: create the spark everyone was looking for. That's how TechSparks, India's biggest startup tech summit, was born.
Fast forward to now, and TechSparks is the place to be for tech enthusiasts, innovators, and entrepreneurs. It's basically Coachella for our digital dreamers, but way cooler! With over 1,000 sessions, 500k+ delegates and 2,200+ speakers over the years, the event has fostered over 1.5 million meaningful connections, created employment opportunities for more than 2.5 lakh individuals, and helped companies secure an impressive $2 billion in funding.
The 15th edition is coming in hot and it’s all about "Building India 3.0: A tech leader on the global stage". Mark your calendars for September 26-28, 2024, at Taj Yeshwantpur. It's your chance to be part of India's tech transformation story.
Think of it like this—India 1.0 marked the nation’s period of economic liberalisation and its first tryst with technology. Then, India 2.0 saw the rise of technology, startups, and widespread disruption, laying the groundwork for a tech-driven economy.
Now, India 3.0 is about to launch, and it's gonna be more epic than the Avengers assembling for the final battle! The country emerges as a tech leader on the world stage, driving change through indigenous technology innovation, and embracing international collaboration and partnerships.
