Mumbai, 21 January 2020: The 11th edition of TiECon Mumbai is
scheduled to be held on 28th - 29th January
2020 at NCPA, Nariman Point, Mumbai with a vibrant theme “The Decade of Startups – Kickstarting the
Future”
TiECon Mumbai is the largest
Entrepreneurial Leadership Conclave that takes place once a year in Mumbai. TiEcon
Mumbai 2020 will focus on how start-ups are going to drive the future by
changing how we use and consume goods and services, interact with technology
and deploy them to solve pressing problems. The innovation driven by start-ups
may make many current businesses redundant and create opportunities for new
ones. TiEcon Mumbai 2020 will spotlight all of this, and more.
In the last decade, startups have
emerged as a force to be reckoned with. They have proven their worth to the
economy of the country and to the world. But this is just the beginning, as
startups and entrepreneurs are now focusing on more industries with the use of
upcoming technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain.
“TiEcon 2020 is designed to
contemplate on the future of ideas that entrepreneurs and the leaders needed to
embrace to navigate through remarkable breakthroughs and journeys paving the
way for the next decade of the startup world.” said Atul Nishar, President of TiE Mumbai.
