Speaking on the occasion – Purvi Pandya – Founder, i2E said, “The Indian startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs has evolved dynamically over the last two decades. The number of Startups and entrepreneurs in India and worldwide is on the rise, and they are now being widely recognised as important engines for growth and job generation. At a time when women are hitting the bull’s eye at the bourses and entering the billionaires club, Indian businesses are getting a much-needed non-androgenic perspective. In a largely male-dominated world, women are finally braving their feet to celebrate entrepreneurial ideas and pacing their way up to become successful businesswomen. So the need of Kaleidoscope.”

This will boost their morale and will also motivate others to follow their journey. Conference has 2 technical sessions apart from Inaugural and discussed on aspects of entrepreneurial skills, design thinking, legal aspects and support required including rural entrepreneurship.”
