Open Coffee Meet - Entrepreneurs of Guwahati May 2, 2009

Fellow entrepreneur/aspiring entrepreneur/startup enthusiast/idea generator -

I’ve pleasure to inform you that for the first time in the region, a networking event is being organized for entrepreneurs of the region. Headstart (www.headstart.in) foundation aims to build an eco-system to support entrepreneurship in India. The foundation runs an annual event that identifies cutting edge innovations from India. In addition, it also runs a very popular monthly event – StartupSaturday (www.startupsaturday.in), which is conducted across multiple cities in India. The foundation also helped design various business incubators including I-Accelerator of IIM-A and the recently established incubation centre in IISc. Kallol Borah, founder of Headstart and also a successful technology entrepreneur (founder & CEO of Aumega Network) will also be present to share his views on the need to build an eco-system for success for entrepreneurship to flourish. We will also have other successful entrepreneurs from the region, eminent journalists, academicians, talented students, idea generators of the region to share their views and brainstorm on ways forward. This is also an occasion to celebrate the success of some talented young entrepreneurs of the region.

The objective of the networking event is to form a platform where like minded people can come together and discuss about challenges they are facing, brainstorm on ideas, bounce off ideas - communicate, collaborate and contribute. There is a huge need for a platform for entrepreneurs in Guwahati - the goal of this meet is exactly that - network with fellow entrepreneurs and gain from each other's ideas, experience & information.

This meet – first of its kind is organized with the support of Kandaree – an NGO founded by professionals originally from Guwahati which aims to use technology to bring in equal opportunities at all levels and sectors of the society.

The details of the event are below:
