Find out how foreign markets can accelerate Indian startups at #tiablr2016

India’s tech scene is growing, and the key to taking it to the next level might just lie in collaborating with foreign markets. At Tech in Asia Bangalore 2016 on July 6 and 7, two star-studded panels featuring local and international industry leaders will tell us why, and how you can capitalize on the opportunities that India’s strong growth trend has to offer.

Why Japanese investors love India

China’s startup scene has grown explosively over the past few years. With India projected to follow a similar growth pattern, Japanese investors are rushing to get a slice of the pie. Softbank, Rebright Partners, and Beenext are just a few names that have already pumped money into the local tech ecosystem.

The partnership looks to be a promising one too. India has world-class talent that can serve a massive domestic market and overseas users. Japanese investors know how to identify, market, and scale successful technology ventures, from apps to AI to biotech.

The two markets are made for each other. Startup or investor, if you don’t want to miss out on the exciting opportunities the Japanese are going to create, this is one session you need to attend.

Our panel of speakers have come all the way from Japan to join us at Tech in Asia Bangalore:

• Hiro Mashita, director and founder of M&S Partners
• Masayoshi Tamura, general manager of Digital Solutions and Services Group at Hitachi India
• Yoshiko Tsuwaki, deputy director of Information and Communication Electronics Division, Commerce and Information Policy Bureau, Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Japan

Fintech: To India, and Beyond!

India contributes to a fifth of the world’s unbanked masses – 47 percent of its population has yet to set up a bank account. Yet, 39 percent of them are likely to have smartphones by 2019. Coupled with a widespread frustration with inefficiencies of public banks and the government’s new financial inclusion initiative, India is well-primed to see a fintech boom next.

It’s not without its roadblocks though. As an emerging market, a lack of infrastructure and changing current consumer habits could pose as obstacles for fintech to take off. How can these hurdles be overcome?

It’s time to look to foreign markets to see how India compares – and the lessons its fintech industry can adopt.

To tackle the tough questions and prepare us for what’s to come, we bring onboard a panel of local and international experts in the fintech industry including:

• Nektarios Liolios, co-founder and CEO of Startupbootcamp Fintech and InsurTech
• Vikram Vaidyanathan, managing director at Matrix India, a venture capital company in its early stages
• Govind Rajan, CEO of Freecharge. The digital payments company was acquired by Snapdeal in one of the largest deals in India’s consumer internet space.
