Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 30: In 2010, Shradha Sharma decided that instead of looking for that elusive spark of innovation, YourStory would create it, launching TechSparks.
Over the years, TechSparks has evolved into India's largest and most influential platform for technology enthusiasts, innovators, and entrepreneurs--becoming the one-stop destination where ideas converge, innovations thrive, and the pulse of India's tech revolution beats louder than ever before.
Now, the much-awaited event is getting ready for its grand 15th edition.
With over 1,000 sessions, 500k+ delegates and 2,200+ speakers over the years, TechSparks has been instrumental in fostering over 1.5 million meaningful connections, creating employment opportunities for more than 2.5 lakh individuals, and helping companies secure an impressive $2 billion in funding. After cementing its legacy in Bengaluru, the summit moved to two new venues last year: Mumbai and Delhi.
TechSparks 2024 Bengaluru edition will continue on the journey of building the next leg of growth, focusing on 'Building India 3.0: A tech leader on the global stage'. The tech summit--to be held on September 26-28 at Taj Yeshwantpur--aims to celebrate India's rise towards global tech leadership, and invites national and international leaders to become a part of India's technological transformation and growth story.
The event's rise has mimicked the evolution of tech innovations and advancements in India, fostering an inclusive society and serving as a prime example for economies around the world to emulate. While India 1.0 marked the nation's period of economic liberalisation and its first tryst with technology, India 2.0 saw the rise of technology, startups, and widespread disruption, laying the groundwork for a tech-driven economy.
Now, YourStory stands at the cusp of India 3.0, with the country emerging as a tech leader on the world stage, driving change through indigenous technology innovation, and embracing international collaboration and partnerships.
As India readies to become a global tech powerhouse, TechSparks 2024 will showcase the latest cutting-edge innovations and collaborations that have transformed ideas into impactful realities.
