Speaking about the association, the Director & Co-Founder of Eblitz Creations India Pvt Ltd - Mirza L Baig commented, “Bangalore as a city lends itself to the B2B space & the belief in the millennials is never ending. The city is very well versed with extensive use of tech not only in your professional work front but also doing your daily household chores. Such platforms create opportunities for newer ideas & eventually it's the consumers who leverage the benefit in the long run.”

Talking about the event execution, Baig added, “The interesting part of the expo was the live hackathon which also had a recruitment angle to it. Also, with most expo’s being of a strictly serious tone, the World Startup Expo featured a dedicated entertainment stage which was active at all times. It was an enriching experience managing all aspects of the event.”
