Nayan Saluja and Harsh Agarwal, recounting about the last edition recall : “The year 2021, saw the Indian Startup Ecosystem setting a new normal. Despite the pandemic, more than 4 dozen unicorns emerged. After the grim and unprecedented situation, there was a realization in every nation, especially in a country like ours which belongs to an emerging economy, that survival can be achieved solely through inclusion. Inclusion is about creating an environment for the diverse talent pool to express and work to their fullest potential and feel part of the company (sense of belongingness), its processes, systems, and growth, and also to work for providing living conditions with affordability considerations.”
