TechX | Demystifying the Future
20 DECEMBER 2018 · BANGALORE
ABOUT
India is at a massive inflection point where rise in awareness, per capita income, urbanization and rise of millennials is growing at an unprecedented rate. With increasingly cheap computing power, large amounts of data and newer methods of training machines, Indian startups have made inroads into AI/ML, deep tech and niche product areas raising $2B over the last two years. Leveraging these tailwinds, the number of Indian startups in these areas will exponentially grow over the next coming years.
$1.8 trillion of Indian enterprise value is either currently being disrupted or is susceptible to future disruption because of technological innovations. Cutting-edge technologies such as AI/ML, Blockchain, VR/AR are set to disrupt various sectors such as finance, education, healthcare, retail, automotive etc. In addition to this, a set of “empowering” technologies can dramatically reshape value chains and profit pools, bringing better lives to millions of Indians. It is because of these reasons that we, at Kalaari, believe that India is at the very beginning of a new technology movement and are excited to be a part of accelerating it.
​
Whether you are a Tech entrepreneur or a professional in this space, 'TechX: Demystifying the Future' is an event to look forward to. Thought leaders from the industry; corporates, entrepreneurs disrupting the space; and investors will come together on a single platform, to give startups looking to make an impact, a leg up in the space.
