Techcircle DEMO India 2013 - start-ups innovations!

I am picking one the famous quotes: " A hero’s journey is an apt way to think of startups. All new companies and new products begin with a vision… Founding entrepreneurs are out to make their vision and business real. To succeed, they must abandon the status quo, recruit a team that shares their vision, and strike out together on what appears to be a new path, often shrouded in uncertainty, fear and doubt. Obstacles, hardship and potential disaster lie ahead, and their journey to success tests more than financial resources – it tests their stamina, agility and courage" (Courtesy~ Steve Blank, The Startup Owner’s Manual)

India’s first ever Techcircle DEMO India 2013 unveiled 28 revolutionary innovations by start-ups’. It was like a flicker book, I was reminded of my childhood days!!! "flip-it-all mode", No verbose presentation, there was a hard stop of six minutes!!! That's all :) for companies across consumer & enterprise technology categories to launch their products to investors and potential partners while truly demonstrating how their product will bring about a change in the market.
