Creating the Businesses of Digital India

To share insights from their own experiences, prominent speakers, investors, industrialists and professionals from the industry provided their prestigious opinions on the direction India's startup space is headed.

The two-day event was adorned with workshops and sessions, competitions and opportunities decoding the mystery behind the prominence of leadership and passion. Despite the B-Plan Competition, Case Challenge, Productathon, Conclaves and Leadership Series being the event's highlight, the Blockchain Conclave took the crown as the major attraction.

Organized in partnership with IDAP, Etheralabs, Augmate, Plato and Coin-safe, the conclave aimed to provide the participants with the knowledge needed to start with "Building on Blockchain'. The insightful panel discussion on BIZ Experiencesial prospects moderated by BIZ Experiences India's Associate Editor, Aashika Jain was also among the hailed sessions.

Acknowledging the Compelling Vision

Various new technologies are disrupting the space and the startup ecosystem is not leaving any stone unturned to leverage the untapped spaces with their innovative solutions. Many such start-ups were present at the E-Summit to showcase their respective contributions to varied industries.

IDAP, a complete crypto derivatives exchange is built upon the core team's combined experience of nearly three decades in traditional financial markets on world-class exchanges like CME and ICE. The FinTech startup caters to derivatives trading, a huge market traditionally is untapped in the crypto space. Another one looking to capitalize the technology is Augmate.

The startup harnesses the power of the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and artificial intelligence to empower the 4th industrial revolution. Touted as the world's leading device management solution for wearable technology, Augmate's goal is to connect all things with the same powerful simplicity of wearables. Adding to the list of tech-driven platforms, vertical search is a highly scalable area.
