We receive several event invitations on a daily basis. So when we do attend, there’s usually something that makes it stand out. Our friends at YourStory.in have worked hard to set up a series of ‘TechSparks’ competitions across India, in New Delhi, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad. The grand final will be held at Bangalore, often labelled the “Silicon Valley of India.” We will be heading over there to learn more about India’s start-up culture, meet up with fellow writers, friends, founders, investors — and of course readers.
So what exactly is TechSparks? It’s basically a big tech start-up competition that consolidates the very best ideas from all across India. TechSparks claims to have reached out to over 1000 entrepreneurs in the nation and the final competition will pick five ideas as winners.
A total of 20 ideas will be pitched in Bangalore to fight for the top spots. Plus, attendees will also get to learn more about Tech30, a list of 30 tech start-ups handpicked by investors and influential tech folks in India. That’s the gist of it. But you can find out more details here.

Like many places in Asia, India is now enjoying a boom in the tech space. It’s a fascinating shift. We can’t claim to be witnesses to it but our team can definitely feel the vibrancy and creativity of the tech start-ups we speak to from India. We expect it will be a fruitful trip, so if you’re interested feel free to join us there. Yuki Naruse, who is traveling around the world to meet up with entrepreneurs, is joining us in this trip to India too (we managed to coax him!).
On a bit of a sidenote, kudos to team YourStory for hosting the event for the second year running. It is a great service for India and for Asia’s tech ecosystem as a whole.
