Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury, Chairperson - The Entrepreneurs Committee of BCCI Director of Global Operation, Techno India Group said, “Aligned with the initial idea of the Technopreneur surrogate ventures, the start-up carnival was also created and curated to bring all the players in the start-up ecosystem of the East together for an informal meeting once a year where they could benefit from networking and connecting with investors and venture capitalists amongst incubators, co-working spaces and all other players in the start-up ecosystem. Startup Carnival, the only mixer of its kind held in Kolkata, is not very different from the way that the mixers in Silicon Valley or other big ecosystems happen. We believe that this is going to have longstanding impact and hopefully enable lots of new conversation and collaboration amongst new age entrepreneurs in the city of Kolkata and the state of West Bengal.”
