INKLive 2013: Bridging The Last Mile From Innovation To Recognition


Bangalore: What would the world really be without any technology? Would we all be ‘globally’ connected? Certainly not! The credit goes to a few men who rebelled from the clichéd outlook of the society to invent and innovate meticulously. Such people who made our lives wonderful with their innovations and principles are not often honored or even recognized by the society. Bridging this last mile from innovation to recognition is INK Live 2013, an annual conference organized by Ted.

The three day conference starting on October 25 in Cochin, Kerala, will witness great innovators, influencers, entrepreneurs, artists and great implementers talking about their journey, experience, their achievements and their future plans. 

Out of the 700 applications received, INK authorities have shortlisted 24 candidates as INK Fellows, with a vast majority excelled by startup entrepreneurs and technology influencers. Though the list includes many celebrities and artists, we have carefully picked few entrepreneurs and influencers from the lot who by far are influencing the eco-system effectively. Here are some of the greatest change-makers of today whom we all bestow our faith upon for the future-
