The live session for this online panel is now over, you may continue to drop questions in, the panelists may answer remaining questions at their own time and convenience.
Let’s kick off the new year with an online panel with three experts that can answer any questions you have on what happened during the course of 2016 and the upcoming trends of 2017.
Today’s online panel lineup includes:
Sid Talwar – Co-founder & Partner at Lightbox, a VC firm based in Mumbai that focuses on investing in emerging technology companies in India.

Terence currently manages a team of 20 and continually grows the media team’s views year-on-year. His expertise consists of the entire process of online content creation, including on-the-ground journalism, copyediting, SEO, digital marketing, media analytics, editorial best practices and ethics. He has also dabbled in web programming, user experience design, and product management. Terence did a Facebook AMA with us last year, catch it here.
