THE EVENT

This unique one-day event falls under the umbrella of the flagship programme Lufthansa Runway to Success, the largest SME platform in India today. The programme, which began as a television series eight years ago, has grown consistently each year to become a nationwide movement, adding into its fold a growing stream of free mentorship camps, covering metros and small towns alike. And now, the Start-up Expo – an event that has been hailed as an unprecedented opportunity for startups to not only gain the much-needed exposure, but also explore partnership opportunities and interact with all the stakeholders that can help them to scale new heights!

The 2016 edition of the Expo received an overwhelming response, evident not only on the ground, but also in a viral social media campaign encompassing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogosphere as well as digital media, which achieved a unique reach of over a million and an absolute reach of over 2 million! The buzz is already palpable this year. Can’t wait to see it grow exponentially!
