Main Stage

If you want in on the action, make sure to catch a seat at the main stage. We’ve already started to assemble the heavyweights, pioneers, and leaders of our time. They’ll share their incredible founder journeys, opinions and expert analysis on the tech scene at Tech in Asia Bangalore 2016.

Catch up on our Main Stage speaker introductions for TIA BLR 2016:

Investor Stage

Getting face time with investors is easier said than done. That’s why we are bringing the region’s best and brightest VCs right to startup founders at our Investor Stage.

We’ve invited several reputable investors as our speakers for these intimate and founder-focused sessions. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to learn firsthand about potential investors including Gree Ventures, 500 Startups, Techstars, Quest Ventures, and also get real feedback from some prominent founders. This isn’t the time for posturing. This is about becoming better founders and finding the right people who can help you on your journey.

Please note this stage is open to founders only. Any attending founder can join, but seating will be limited. Bootstrap Alley founders get priority access. Want a guaranteed seat? You know what to do!

Entry Stage

After exhaustive user surveys and on-the-ground reconnaissance, you know it’s time to reset the clock to zero and start building from scratch in an overseas market. But there are a million question marks. Who are the right partners? What are the quirks of B2B or B2C sales? What will the tech scene really be like in your new home? How can you start deciphering the steps to success?

Entry Stage comprises a series of panels from local tech leaders designed to give you the knowledge and direction needed for your new venture to take off. We will have sessions on China, Japan, the EU, and more!

Developer Stage

Developers, this is your turf. Come and hear from fellow programmers and discuss technical challenges with no holds barred.

The Developer Stage has been a top performer in our previous Jakarta and Singapore conferences. We can guarantee it’ll be as popular in Bangalore, with an awesome lineup of stage sessions for programmers and startup founders to learn new tricks and explore topics such as:

  • How to develop the right SEO strategy with Dan Clarke, founder of Disruptient (pro-tip: Dan’s session’s have been standing room only in Jakarta and Singapore. Grab your seat early!)
  • Developing for the new 182 million Indian users expected to come onboard by 2019
  • Building fast, robust, and engaging app-like experience on the web with Salvador de la Puente González, Software Engineer from Mozilla
  • Developer war stories from Go-Jek’s technical wizards

Scale Stage

Building a great company is only the start. But when it comes to scaling it, forget what you think you know. Growth may come naturally to the deserving companies, but scaling is a deliberate process – and one you need to navigate with care.

If expanding your startup is on the horizon, pay close attention to the different domains the Scale Stage will explore:

  • How to Scale Your Funding
  • How to Scale Email Marketing Without Passing to the Dark Side
  • How to Scale Consumer Retention and User Happiness
  • How to Scale Your Burn Rate
  • How to Scale SaaS Sales in a Red Sea
  • How to Scale Your Advertising (and Save Your ROI)

This stage holds a treasure trove of crucial information that could open your eyes to common pitfalls you aren’t privy to. Ready to take your startup forward? Do yourself a favour and sit in on this one.


There’ll be much more than inspirational stories from accomplished founders and investors. Come July 6 & 7, you can look forward to a multitude of key information, tips, and insights for you to take home and grow your business. All with that one conference pass.
