Over 100 of India's most celebrated thought leaders, successful entrepreneurs and top bankers will put their heads together at The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) Entrepreneurial Summit 2010 in December to generate ideas for doubling the number of private ventures in the country's thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Dwelling on the summit theme, Enterprising India, TiE Chairman Emeritus Saurabh Srivastava said, "Deployment of technology in education, healthcare, skill development at the bottom of the pyramid offers vast opportunities for entrepreneurs. A dialogue between Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen and Infosys' founder N. R. Narayana Murthy on day one will set the tone of deliberations over the next three days."
The annual summit will offer attendees an opportunity to learn about entrepreneurial opportunities in booming industries like Education and Training, Clean Technology, Internet, Retail, Telecom and social sectors, among others.
"To fulfil its aspiration of doubling the number of private ventures, the TiE summit will seed the idea of turning young graduates into entrepreneurs and job creators. For this, TiE will initiate a series of engagements with Indian youth to open their minds to the vast entrepreneurial opportunities," said Pradeep Gupta, President, TiE Delhi NCR.
As a run-up to the conference, TiE Delhi NCR has launched some initiatives. One of them is the "Idea2Enterprise", a student business plan competition to identify their innovative ideas. A Private Equity firm and a TiE member, Lumis Partners, is inviting early stage companies which are founded less than five years ago to identify and acknowledge them with TiE-Lumis Partners Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards.
