With the Internet of Things being the new land of entrepreneurial opportunity, there is a need to create an ecosystem for transfer of knowledge and technological know-how amongst start-ups and academia. Hyderabad has been a breeding ground for some of India’s largest business houses, and has always been very supportive for the new businesses with its friendly policy structures. It was a pleasure to witness some of the most innovative product companies at the conclave with offerings ranging from e-commerce to cloud platforms.” 

India is the 4th largest base of start-ups world-wide and currently boasts of over 3,100 start-ups, with an addition of 800+ start-ups in 2014 alone. Product startups have formed the backbone of the ecosystem which in turn is playing a key role in the growth of the Indian economy.
