I will highlight the relevant use cases and the data points on the 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇫🇮🇳🇴🇮🇸 Nordic startup ecosystem, which could be helpful in the 🇮🇳 Indian startup ecosystem to collaborate on.

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to Speak and Moderate a Panel at SMiLE Summit AMTZ LIMITED World Trade Center AMTZ. It was an insightful conference, and I met entrepreneurs-(seasoned and budding), ecosystem enablers and intrapreneurs of various firms. I got a wonderful opportunity to moderate highly charged panel CMA Gowtham, CEO, World Trade Center, AMTZ, Dr.Bijay Kumar Sahu, Danida Fellow, Sr Reginal Manager, and Program Head (EAST), NRDC, @Dr. Kavita Kachroo, Chief Operating Officer- Kalam Institute of Health Technology We drove the discussion on improving the following percentages, making India shine and, of course, the State of Andhra Pradesh, as we are more focused now. AP has a high potential to garner a top position with the available talent and natural resources. Data is based on DPIIT-registered startups. -       Patent-led startups 3% (current) -       Seed fund given 1% -       Showcased – 0.1% -       Women-Led- 47% -       Maha with 1st Position, How AP can improve from the rank of 18th (AP- 2022 registered startups, 58 patent led, 11 seed fund, 1 showcased, 957 women-led) -       No of Mentors Delhi 1st, AP 15th Position -       No of Incubators TN 1st (140), AP 11th (with 40) -       Investors MAHA 1st (28), AP yet to register, -       Accelerators KA 3rd with 43, AP with 3. The exciting part of the Summit was when we met the Team from Serendipity Collective. They are creating a platform to explore the potential for a future reimagined. They are not looking to solve the problems of today or tomorrow. Instead, They are building a platform that allows futuristic ideas, agnostic to an application, an opportunity to mature, envision, dream up, and not merely disrupt the status quo—but to transcend the limits of our imagination. They are trying to marry Science & Technology with the Humanities and Arts Their Goal: They seek individuals brave enough to look over the edge and into the unknown. An unknown where the constraints of the natural world (as we currently understand it!) might no longer hold true to form. An unknown where those limitations do not prevent us from developing truly disruptive solutions. To get there, They want scientists and engineers to partner with artists and writers, emboldened by individuals from the humanities and social sciences, to challenge our limits of understanding… to challenge humanity to create a better world. If you have a visionary, transformative idea to share with the world? The Serendipity Collective™ is looking for “the next big thing”, and They have 50,000 USD grants available for up to five winning ideas. Please explore. Met Jachin Pousson!

Surprised after hearing . . . the narratives during our recent AMA session at StartupThamizha. I wondered at some of the founders who have quality products and services, but I noticed that some of them need guidance on how to document their ideas effectively. They seem to lack the ability to translate their excellent concepts into compelling proposals or decks. However, during calls or in person, they perform well. This got me thinking. Here are 3 tips to help you write a good proposal: 1. Read the details and guidelines carefully, and align your intentions accordingly. Don't overlook any details. 2. Draft simple points to convey your message, then elaborate using infographics, references, and real images. This helps make your proposal more understandable and relatable. 3. Check the readability of the final document. Seek reviews and iterate as necessary. Sharpening the 1600+ Axe to cut and crack the deals. Remember, your proposal is often the first impression investors, government bodies, or companies will have of your startup. Make it count!
