Description
While these cool monikers have caught our fancy, tech isn’t the be-all and end-all – it’s the runway where most companies take flight. From disruptive ideas to consumer appeal, today every company, especially the traditional ones, aspires to fashion themselves into a tech play. Or do they? Equally, at eye watering valuations, venture capital, public markets and M&A remain the tools for the next wave of growth in India. This session explores where we go from here and what the building blocks are to becoming a hectocorn.
