“The Startup Festival was an event that was firmly communicated and I strongly believe that Bangalore deserves the title – Startup Capital. The eco system here is blessed with gifted mentors, valuable investors and potential clients and hence I would say Bangalore is the best place to start up.” Says Aprameya Radhakrishna, co-founder of taxiforsure.

Collaborative  Community

Collaborative Community provides marketing, branding, communication and design creative services to social sector organizations and impact startups – impact refers to the difference the startup is making in the domain in which it functions. Although this establishment is based in Bangalore, CC offers its services to all parts of the nation. The target audience for CC is early stage startups and social startups.

“The initiative to make Bangalore the startup capital is really a great effort but it has its own pros and cons. While the entire festival was successful in gathering a wholesome crowd and momentum there still exists a challenge as the festival did not see much of any local context but as a preference I would still opt Bangalore for any other further endeavors.” Says Achyutha Sharma, founder and CEO of Collaborative Community.
