This meeting was held at LaMakaan and there was a very interesting mix of attendees. There were a few students but a lot of attendees were from either those interested in starting up or those having just started up. There were also a couple of reporters of startup related websites. There were some members from angel investor organizations or incubation centers like the IIIT Incubation Center.
The theme of the session was registration, compliance & finance for early stage startups. Every month there is a theme and experts are invited to talk about that theme. It started off with each of the attendees giving a short introduction and then there were a couple of sessions given by a Chartered Accountant and a Company Secretary about the theme. The format is quite informal and interactive and there are a lot of questions from the participants.
After this some startups were invited to talk about their ventures and their experiences in starting up. The startups who spoke were- Inforica - Founder- Sudeep D'Souza
- Luminart- Founder- Prabhu
- Acuvate- Founder, Amitesh Anand
- HuSys.net- CoFounder, Kalyan
After this it was all about networking and exchanging business cards to continue networking beyond the event. I was asked how the startup environment now is different from how it was 6 years ago and the answer is that it is events like this that make it so much easier to startup now with information so easily available so readily.
I would advise anyone who is planning to startup or has just started up to attend this event. I hope more companies that provide services also attend so that startups are aware that there are experts out there to hep them quickly startup.

The last few months the venue has been here but it is not a guarantee.
Thank you Sudeep for inviting me. It was a refreshing sight to see so many people interested in making it on their own. And the founder Ramesh was a real gentleman to talk to.
Btw, your talk was straight, crisp, no nonsense and pleasing to listen to.
