SUMMIT SPEAKERS SNAPSHOT

TAJ VIVANTA, BENGALURU | 11TH MARCH

5TH CII - YI ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUMMIT

The Indian IT industry is already at the cusp of disruption and all that is required is entrepreneurial spirit to give it

that nal impetus - understandably so, because entrepreneurship is the lifeline of economic growth. Given the right

llip, edgling startups can morph into powerful multinationals.

The 5th Edition of the CII Yi ('Yi' stands for Young Indians) National Entrepreneurship Summit 2017, held in

Bangalore, carries the promise of encouragement as multinationals, startups and students came together to

network, expound new disruptive ideas and align these ideas in the right direction.

The slogan 'Disrupt.in - Challenging Tradition, transforming world,' is appropriate because disruption is to do with

the manner in which business is being done. A certain degree of disruption is required for something constructive

to emerge from it. A video message from gave Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha,

thumbs up to the idea. “The fundamental disruptor is the Internet and its technology that has brought a huge

sweeping change for innovation. Technology has created a level playing eld. Both the Internet and technology are

responsible for creating responsible transparent governance,” he said.

Delivering the inaugural address, Mr. Priyank Kharge,

Hon'ble Minister for IT & BT and Tourism Government

of Karnataka shared “The Government of Karnataka

symbolizes governance for disruption, which is envisioned

as disruptive policies required for a better Karnataka and

conducive for change. This has resulted in a robust digital

ecosystem due to which Bangalore has become one of the

world's fastest-growing cities,” added Mr Priyank Kharge,

Minister IT, Government of Karnataka.

GoK has put new dots on the startup map of India with a basket of offerings to turn fresh innovative ideas into

commercially viable models through strategic investment and policy interventions. “We have created a start-up

ecosystem in Karnataka through our StartUp Policy, due to which Bangalore is home to over 7,200 startups. We

also have an annual fund for supporting new projects .”

Agreeably, the Government of Karnataka (GoK) is a forerunner in many ways thanks to several tech-centric

disruptions that have happened over the years.

POST EVENT REPORT

Mr. R K Misra, Serial Entrepreneur & winner of Lead India Campaign said that, disrupted industries typically

suffer from a perfect storm of two forces. First, low barriers to entry into these sectors lead to more agile

competition. Secondly, they have large legacy business models which often generate the majority of their revenue.

These organizations, therefore, have embedded cultural and organizational challenges when it comes to changing

at the pace required. Today's fast paced techno driven business eco-system is fast evolving where mere innovation

is not good enough for a business to survive, leave aside success. The new mantra is “Disruption”. In last decade

where the focus was on innovation the next decade would be dedicated to disruption.

Mr. Subramanyam Putrevu, Chief Information Ofcer,

Mindtree ltd said that Entrepreneurs and policy makers

must not only know what's on the horizon but also start

preparing for its impact. It is estimated that these new

emerging technologies could have a potential economic

impact between $14 trillion and $33 trillion a year by

2025.
