Proto.in - India's Premier Startup Event (Day-2)

DAY 2 - The 2nd day of Proto.in - The 5th edition of India's Premier Startup Event started with an announcement that the number of tweets on Twitter (protodotin) was the highest ever pan India for yesterday. The day started with Bob Young, Lulu (Co-founder of Red-hat Software) followed by Mr. Ashish Gupta of Helion Ventures focussing on the various aspects of do's and dont's for a startup. Mr. Ashish Gupta explained the happiness of owning a Startup by the most accurate definition of Happiness - It is the distance between expectation and delivery.

The Showcase of The Event's TOP 6 Startups were NuAlgae, Remindo, Oohaa Service, Inkfruit, Fachak and Taroby. The most impressive of the lot were Inkfruit and most of the VCs look convinced with their idea of designing T-shirts online and then selling it in the offline and online space.

The Post lunch session started with interesting conversations on mindboggling topics and had a lot of public opinions coming in. It was followed by the Shotgun Startups and Innovation Jam. Soon I realised the day had ended.

The Proto.in team did a fabulous job in conducting the entire event in the most professional way. Mr. Vjay Anand, The Curator and Mr. Kiruba Shankar anchored the event in the best possible way and it was indeed a pleasure interacting with both of them. The guests, invitees, sponsors and everything were near perfect. Ohh, Did I miss lunch ? It was the best :)

Team - Grey Oasis is looking forward to the 6th edition of Proto.in - India's Premier Startup Event in July 09 at Mumbai.
