It's easy to see why TechSparks has grown to become India’s largest, most influential and highly-anticipated startup-tech conference. TechSparks has been credited for having fostered the growth of some of the most recognised Made in India brands, influencers, and entrepreneurs over its 11-year run.
For more than a decade, this flagship YourStory event has been instrumental in shaping the narrative of India’s technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship ecosystem. It has helped startups raise more than $1 billion in funding, build over a million connections, and enabled the creation of around 300,000 jobs.
TechSparks 2020 aims to deliver all this and more — in a completely immersive digital experience.
Embracing the new normal, TechSparks 2020 will be location-agnostic for the first time. This means, participants can join the live sessions, masterclasses, product launches, and policy discussions; connect with leaders across sectors and across geographies; and network with their peers from the convenience of their homes, anywhere around the world.
At TechSparks 2020, YourStory will bring together the key stakeholders of the entrepreneurial ecosystem for agenda-setting discussions that inspire future entrepreneurs, catalyse conversations, forge connections, and empower the next generation of changemakers.
“Every year we challenge ourselves to make TechSparks bigger, better and more impactful for our audiences. This year, by going virtual, we’ll be able to be more inclusive, bring on board many more international and Indian ecosystem leaders and impact at a scale like never before,” says Shradha Sharma of YourStory.
Here's a sneak peek at what we have lined up for you at TechSparks 2020:
