We had double the fun in Chennai this Saturday, hosting both the Bharat Pitchathon and Startup Saturday! First and foremost, a huge thank you to Kiran Chockalingam for traveling all the way from Bangalore to help me with this event. During Startup Saturday, we had incredible mentors from the ecosystem who listened to the pitches and challenges of all the startups in attendance. They engaged in focused one-on-one discussions and shared valuable takeaways. Special thanks to Adarsh Vijayakumar, Ratheesh Krishnan / Rats, and Pradeep Kumar for taking the time to join the session and sharing your expert guidance. Even long after the "Scheduled" time, few startups & mentors stayed back, had amazing discussions, and then left. 🙌 I also want to extend my gratitude to the esteemed jury of Bharat Pitchathon: Varatharajan M from iDrive Capital Pranay Sultania, from Lok Capital Arun Thathachari, from Anicut Capital LLP Sathish Ganesan, from IN44 Capital Nitish Kumar, from Speciale Invest More than the scores, the interactions & the feedback to the startups were super beneficial to the startups - this not only motivated the entrepreneurs but also offered critical assessments of their pitches, ideas, and investment readiness. Also, especially I would like to thank you for your patience for spending the whole day (staying back for longer - to patiently evaluate the startups). Kudos to the team Roopali . & Tushar Vadera for bringing this across India. Thanks to KPMG for providing the venue & the team that were present & listening to the mentor & pitch sessions. Thanks to DBS for supporting such events. To more such events in Chennai 🤝
