Bengaluru: The top 50 startups were shortlisted for the Networking Sessions held in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru as part of the ‘Conquest’, BITS Pilani’s International Startup Challenge. The contest was hosted its first networking session in the city at Exotel's Office this Sunday.
This year, Conquest, in association with Accel Partners, Exotel and Citrus Pay, saw a participation of more than 1200 applications from varied sectors, ranging from Healthcare to Internet of Things and even Virtual Reality. These applications were scrutinised based on their models, sustainability, user traction and a number of other parameters.
With DCB Bank as the title sponsor, Conquest is India’s largest student—run startup challenge. It brings together thought leaders, innovators, and top level VCs as mentors, creates funding opportunities for participating startups, and helps the top founders build their dreams with equity—less cash prizes. It is the perfect Iaunchpad for startups.
Talking of the Networking Sessions, Soumen Sarkar, Co—Founder at Wooplr, said “Conquest has brought together a great bunch of startups that are addressing very interesting problems to be solved. It was wonderful to interact with them.”
Burhanuddin Pithawala, South India Head at OYO Rooms shared his insights with the startups over operations and sustainability of their ventures. Parag Dhol, Managing Director at Inventus Capital, worked with the startups to improve their revenue models which are crucial players in the startup's success.
The Grand Finale will be held on the 28th August in New Delhi at ITC Maurya.
