India’s Largest Startup-Tech Summit, YourStory TechSparks, Gears up for Grand 15th Edition<br>
In 2010, Shradha Sharma decided that instead of looking for that elusive spark of innovation, YourStory would create it, launching TechSparks.
 
Over the years, TechSparks has evolved into India's largest and most influential platform for technology enthusiasts, innovators, and entrepreneurs—becoming the one-stop destination where ideas converge, innovations thrive, and the pulse of India's tech revolution beats louder than ever before.
 
Now, the much-awaited event is getting ready for its grand 15th edition. 
 
With over 1,000 sessions, 500k+ delegates and 2,200+ speakers over the years, TechSparks has been instrumental in fostering over 1.5 million meaningful connections, creating employment opportunities for more than 2.5 lakh individuals, and helping companies secure an impressive $2 billion in funding. After cementing its legacy in Bengaluru, the summit moved to two new venues last year: Mumbai and Delhi. 
 
TechSparks 2024 Bengaluru edition will continue on the journey of building the next leg of growth, focusing on ‘Building India 3.0: A tech leader on the global stage’.  The tech summit—to be held on September 26-28 at Taj Yeshwantpur—aims to celebrate India's rise towards global tech leadership, and invites national and international leaders to become a part of India’s technological transformation and growth story.
 
The event’s rise has mimicked the evolution of tech innovations and advancements in India, fostering an inclusive society and serving as a prime example for economies around the world to emulate. While India 1.0 marked the nation’s period of economic liberalisation and its first tryst with technology, India 2.0 saw the rise of technology, startups, and widespread disruption, laying the groundwork for a tech-driven economy.
 
Now, YourStory stands at the cusp of India 3.0, with the country emerging as a tech leader on the world stage, driving change through indigenous technology innovation, and embracing international collaboration and partnerships.
 
As India readies to become a global tech powerhouse, TechSparks 2024 will showcase the latest cutting-edge innovations and collaborations that have transformed ideas into impactful realities.
 
Why TechSparks 2024 Bengaluru edition
 
Entrepreneurs, global business leaders, investors, government, and tech enthusiasts will find TechSparks 2024 the perfect platform to explore collaborative opportunities and add new knowledge to their arsenal. The summit promises a stellar lineup of keynotes, masterclasses, fireside chats, deep-dive roundtables, and opportunities for collaborating and connecting.
 
Past speakers of the event have included the likes of Deepinder Goyal, Founder and CEO, Zomato; Nithin Kamath, Co-founder and CEO, Zerodha; Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of Finance and Minister of Corporate Affairs of the Government of India; Jyotiraditya Scindia, Union Minister of Communications and Minister of Development of North Eastern Region; Steve Wozniak, Co-founder, Apple; Nivruti Rai, MD & CEO, Invest India; Anupam Mittal, Founder and CEO of People Group and Shaadi.com; Renuka Ramnath, Founder, MD & CEO, Multiples; Ankur Warikoo, Author, entrepreneur and content creator.
