Proto: An event for Indian Entrepreneurs

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Proto promises to be an excellent platform for young Indian entrepreneurs to showcase their tech products and ideas. As Amit Ranjan puts it

“If you are a tech startup, a venture capitalist, a wannbe tech entrepreneur or just somebody who thinks that there is more to Indian technology than BPOs & call centers, you must book your date with Proto. Proto is a first of its kind event, that will showcase the best of Indian startups under one roof. It is being held in Chennai on 21st/22nd Jan,07. The idea for Proto is inspired by Demo, the annual bash in Silicon Valley, that is fast becoming the Mecca for launching emerging technological innovations.”

I would be showcasing one our products at this event too. More as it happens. Stay Tuned.
