It will see 50+ business experts from India and abroad who will share new ideas, trends and business opportunities to enrich the business community. More than 200 exciting business opportunities from hottest sectors including franchising, property and start-up industry will be presented through this expo. Top investors from South India are going to attend this show.

A Show for One and All

Building an entrepreneurial ecosystem for starting up, building a sustainable business, youth Empowerment and new age business ideas to grow are some of the things this summit hopes to achieve and make the entrepreneurial journey of any aspiring entrepreneur as exhilarating as it should it be.
