The conference will address issues about simplifying rules and regulation for registration of businesses in India, funding, compliance procedures by minimizing licenses/permits/approvals/tax for start-ups, angel tax, simple norms for capital raising, recent technology used ,upcoming trends in tech startups and many more The platform will also provide recognition of the startups by sharing their success stories on a national-level The seminar will also address the current scale and size of the startup landscape, what impacts the growth of the overall ecosystem and what can be done to make the environment more conducive for start-ups.

India's tech startup landscape :

Looking back, 2015 has been a landmark year for India's tech startup landscape, with a total of 111 startups that filed series A rounds by December in the calendar year, with total funding amounting to $542 million (roughly Rs. 3,595 crores). If you do the math, the average funding round in a Series A comes to $4.88 million (roughly Rs. 32 crores). Series A is usually the first stage of funding a company receives from institutional investors, following seed funding rounds. This happens when a company has just started to earn some revenues or otherwise proves its business model, but is typically not making a profit and will require the infusion of funds to scale up. Most series A investors are venture capital funds, or angel investors, who are willing to accept the high risk involved.

Startup India trends made 2015 a landmark year. Startup boom continued in India with more rigour than ever before in 2015. The past year has seen a makeover of the ecosystem with more players coming in and some major ones disintegrating. It also witnessed the birth of major deals and more inflow of investment. For some startups, it was the best of times, and for some others, it was the worst with this backdrop I am glad to note that BRIMS is organising Annual conference 2017 on theme Momentous Rise of the Indian Startup ---Trajectory to growth .The conference will be graced by galaxy of speakers budding entrepreneurs and will motivate our students by

sharing startup success stories. The year will be marked with workshops and e cell events. I would urge students and other stakeholders to take full advantage of the conference and other theme related events. I also look forward to see students of BRIMS as “Employers of tomorrow” rather than being an employee of future. We look forward to extend our wholehearted support for forming an enterprise and providing necessary encouragement to such a candidate.

I wish the conference and team of BRIMS all the success

The Indian startup landscape is currently riding the crest of success - driven by factors such as ample funding, mergers and acquisitions, ever developing technology, and a growing domestic and international markets. This trend of success should continue. According to a Gartner report published in October 2014, the year saw a lot of action on the e-tail (ecommerce retail) turf with private investors pumping in USD 3.9 billion into India's e-commerce startups, empowering them to scale their businesses. Angel investment has also increased from USD 4.2 million in 2014 to USD 32.2 million in 2015. Funding will continue to be the major driving factor in the startup

ecosystem. Merger and acquisition activities of Indian startups will gather pace. Startups will embrace more innovative approaches to attract and retain the right talent..

Starting a new business can be exciting and rewarding. Many startups originate with a vision, but it takes more than just a vision for them to develop into fruitful businesses, including the grit to combat the many bottlenecks facing startups today. Startups are currently wrestling with some of the following most significant roadblocks: Raising funds for business is one of the most daunting tasks entrepreneurs face. According to a 2015 study by Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI), 78% entrepreneurs in India find it difficult to raise funds at the ideation stage. Trying to win over investors' trust about a business idea is also a challenge. India's startup ecosystem is at the cusp of growth. A confluence of factors such as greater flow of investments, new business opportunities, and a growing domestic market indicate that India is geared up to reinvigorate its entrepreneurial landscape With this start-up landscape, we at BRIMS glad to announce the theme for the forthcoming conference 2017 as “Momentous Rise of the Indian Startup --Trajectory to growth”

Nasscom, said, “The maturing Indian start-up ecosystem is now contributing to the Indian economy in many ways. Apart from positively impacting the lifestyles of citizens involved, start-ups are now creating innovative technology solutions that are addressing the key social problems that India is facing and creating significant growth opportunities for every stakeholders.
