Insights on the biggest tech conference of India : Surge 2016

Surge – Intro

The biggest tech conference of India, SURGE 2016 was a two day event held at “Manpho Convention Centre” in Bengaluru on February 23^rd and 24^th 2016. It was a massive platform for startups to showcase their mettle and convince the investors.
Over 5,000 people from 72 countries were present to attend the conference.

Surge – Stats & Figures

1.       433 Startups from across the world.

2.       288 pre-arranged meetings were held between Surge Mentors and startups.

3.       480 meetings between Surge Startups and investors.

4.       130 speakers gave talks on Surge stage.

5.       290 international media was present such as BBC, Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Financial times.

Surge – Impact

Although it was the first event of Web Summit in India it had lot of positive aspects associated to it.
Surge was able to create a sharp focus on the startup ecosystem in the country and what it can do to make life easier.

One thing that was clear from the event was not just the boom in startups but also the quality of the output and products. The innovative thinking is very much there but what is required is to direct the thinking to get into action and deliver. This was the context of most of the discussions and it was a pleasure to watch them live.

Such discussions & talks are important as it moves the ideas into a reality and the adjustments from idea to deployment will highlight the challenges and innovations that will be needed to get it in place.

Investors are looking at new startups to help build their wealth and bring with them the expertise to scale up. SURGE was precisely looking at disruptive technologies that will speed up innovation and impact human life in a positive manner and more so looking at the disruption to impact low income regions that can then translate to impact in high income regions and developed countries.

The real question that needs to be asked is if the event will become a startup mainstay in India and the answer to that is still not clear.

One thing that became very clear with most interactions is that there is a need to move ideas to production quickly and they have to impact human condition. Though it is a large challenge but not impossible. Most ideas are not able to move cost effectively to production and that is precisely a reason funding is drying up.

Surge – Issues

Undoubtedly, for a first time event it had its fair share of issues:

1.       The location chosen had no mobile signal coverage.

2.       The Wi-Fi in the convention center failed.

These were just the 2 of the smaller issues I would say.

One of the major issues was the media interaction with the speakers. It could have been managed better with a common platform being created as we could have collectively got all our questions answered.

Surge – Spotlight

Ather Energy was one of the startup which was able to gain some limelight by unveiling India’s first smart electric scooter on day one.

Arctron Mobility, the winner of the Pitch (A startup Competition held at Surge) was also one of the few startups which got investors attention.

Surge – Learning

Gone are days when we had funds coming in freely to support ideas. It is now the survival of the fittest and that is where it we will see real value being translated.

The shocking truth : Happiest people of the world are Liars

Scene 1
An employee who is honest and truthful confesses his mistake in-front of his boss without playing the blame game.
As a result he is also considered responsible for all other mistakes made from the past and gets the lowest rating among the team.

The Blame game players on the other hand are considered hardworking and sincere and are praised with top ratings.

Scene 2
A true friend advices his friend to live in reality, confront his imperfection and not get into the flattering words of fake & selfish people whose only aim is to get their work done.
In return he is titled as jealous, pakao and superior soul who loves to mock others. 

The Flatterers on the other hand are considered well wishers and great humans.

Scene 3
You love someone crazily. You feel that being loyal, truthful and honest to your partner is the most
essential thing in a relationship. You share your deepest secrets and weaknesses, your dreams and fantasies.
But my friend you are not aware about the fact that those dreams can make you self centric, those secrets will be used against you and those weakness will be used to take your advantage.

The Fakers on the other hand are considered caring, modest and selfless lovers.

Scene 4
You are in love with someone and you want to marry him/her after getting blessing from your elders because those are your sanskars. But when you confront them, you are been blackmailed, emotionally as well as financially. Restrictions, doubts and accusations will become part and parcel of your life.

The Liars on the other hand are considered maa ka lal or baap ki bitiya, treasure of sankars and morals. 


Scene 5
In general life too everyone is busy fooling and bluffing others for his/her own benefit.

If a fairness cream says that it won't cause any effect to your skin even after wasting thousand of bucks on it and also there are chances of getting some kind of skin infection, will you buy it?

On similar lines do big restaurants and hotels tell us what quality of food stuff are they using ?

90% of businesses fill their pockets telling lies and people are satisfied with their service.


Conclusion
So why be labelled , tortured and accused for speaking the truth.
Let people listen what they want and that is a "BIG FAT LIE".
