“Through this summit we would like to give right opportunities to potential Indian start-ups to find the right investors. Post Covid crisis, Indian start-ups were among the most impacted by liquidity problems, lack of investors or an opportunity to meet them. SOW Summit has been designed as a remedy to these start-up concerns. The start-up participants will be purely 100% Indian as we would like to support our Prime Minister’s objective of creating an Atmanirbhar Bharat by promoting initiatives such as ‘Make In India’ and ‘Startup India.,’’ said Vipul Vikamsey, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder SOW Summit. Vipul Vikamsey brings with him a 20+ years experience in the Events industry.
“India is the home to world’s third largest start-up ecosystem which needs the right tools to flourish in the existing pandemic times. SOW from Home has been designed keeping this objective in mind. Post Covid crisis when people find it difficult to meet in congregations, this summit will ensure all stakeholders – be it Venture Capitalists, PE Funds, and early stage start-up founders or global experts – find and secure what they are looking for at the comforts of their homes,” said Murtuza Kutianawalla, Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder, SOW Summit.
