Ever since the Modi government has come in to power, it has resulted in major changes in the economic landscape. Significant change has come in the way startups have mush-roomed in India. With the government moving in the right direction to make India a ‘Startup Nation’ it has become a boon for investors, entrepreneurs & aspiring entrepreneurs i.e. the entire startup eco-system.

At the recently commenced Economic Times Startup Awards 2015, Nikesh Arora, President of SoftBank stated “We are a country where the demographics are right.And we are at a point where technology is going to allow us to leapfrog tremendous amounts of developments that have happened in the West”. Ankit Bhati, the co-founder of taxi app Ola which won the Startup of the Year award stated “It is springtime for entrepreneurship in India, as young people with ideas build technology-led ventures that are changing the way Indians live, work and play“.

India is on the cusp of an entrepreneurial revolution. However, successful entrepreneurship is the ultimate balancing act. Endless optimism, unwavering courage and dogged determination of founders have to be balanced with thoughtful leadership, intellectual honesty and maturity to overcome gritty challenges. Fueling the passion of entrepreneurship, Delhi chapter of TiE has come up with the 2015 edition of the TiEcon Delhi on 16th, 17th October.
