ET Soonicorns Summit: India’s first startup initiative to celebrate and unlock the potential of future unicorns
Despite the ‘tech winter’ that has forced startups to reframe their growth strategies and focus on fundamentals, the overall startup funding for the
first half of 2022 rose 36% to $17.9 billion, compared with the year-ago period.
The ecosystem also saw at least 20 new unicorns by July-end, and experts predict the record pace of unicorn additions will continue through the next decade, with a growing number of Indian soonicorns – startups poised to soon turn unicorns.
To unlock the potential of India’s future unicorns and celebrate the journey of these startups that are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the new India growth story, the
EconomicTimes.com is launching the
ET Soonicorns Summit, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Unlocking the full potential of this league of future unicorns will enable these soonicorns to deliver large-scale impact, as they build and solve for not just 1.4 billion Indians, but for the world, too.
ET SpotlightAs India’s first-ever startup initiative that is focused on celebrating India’s future unicorns and decacorns, the
ET Soonicorns Summit will provide a platform for the most-respected names in the startup ecosystem as well as key stakeholders, including policymakers, tech majors, investors, and corporates, to come together for high-impact deliberations and collaborations aimed at unleashing the next billion-dollar startup opportunities from India.
