Meet the pioneer of global Indian enterprise at TIA BLR 2016

Flashback to 1981: A young Senapathy “Kris” Gopalakrishnan leaves his former employer and sets up a new tech consulting firm with six friends.

35 years later, that tech consulting firm has evolved into Infosys, one of the largest IT services companies in the world. Today, Gopalakrishnan, worth US$1.77 billion, has worked with the UN and World Economic Forum in an advisory capacity and is recognised as a global thought leader in business and technology.

What can today’s startups learn from his inspiring success story? Join us at Tech in Asia Bangalore 2016 happening 6-7 July and find out for yourself!

CEO of Infosys Limited from 2007-2011 before stepping down from company affairs in 2014, Gopalakrishnan is and remains one of India’s foremost business personalities. On top of that, he is also an ardent advocate of new blood in the tech industry, having co-founded Axilor Ventures in 2014 to help fresh startups cope with the challenges of early-stage entrepreneurship.

Among the startups to have already benefited from Axilor’s patronage are emergency response app MUrgency and foodtech startup Petoo.

Now, here’s your chance to meet him in person.

• Differences between the Indian and Chinese markets, including what India can do to emulate the success of its neighbour to the east
