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.

Shalin Jain could very well be at the vanguard of a revival in interest in Indian internet start-ups. The 23-year old Chennai entrepreneur recently co-founded a web start-up that aims to grow through a community of users. It’s a model that sites in the US are adopting successfully.
