My experience at Techsparks last year for phenomenal. I learnt a lot from it, the 3 minutes pitch, the jury evaluation, the networking, the sessions all helped me reach where I am today. In fact it helped me tons to loose my stage fear too :-) I can confidently say that TS 2010 was the stepping stone for me to win the prestigious TR35 2011 award a few days back!!

“It was a wonderful opportunity for DeskStream, first to showcase our technology and present it in front of the varied audience appropriate for an early stage startup and second for the encouragement and the connections followed. The event helped us building the right eco-system and more importantly get some useful funding leads. Last, but none the least, the event organization was done to discipline, i had all the folks, investment, technology and media at one place, all under one roof…”

Sreenivasa Nandam, Head India Operations at DeskStream India

TechSparks helped a lot. We were just building our product during Techsparks 2010 and it set us a good stage for launch. After becoming the TS participants (one of 17 in India), we felt more convinced on our idea and product vision. This gave us a confidence of going to Chicago for midVentures event (biggest Tech event in Mid West United States) to launch Simplify360 in the US. TechSparks also gave us coverage in mainline Media like CNBC TV 18, connected us to the potential clients and partners, and put us in front of investors. It was a big day for InRev and we have not looked back since then.
