We Help Corporates harness Innovation Better Corporates Cannot Innovate in Isolation: To most large Companies, 'Innovation' is nothing more than a series of Buzzwords, which either leads to an expense or a long term Investment but rarely translates into something Tangible. It needn't be so We have developed a program to help Large Corporates identify Key Innovation Themes, and connect with the Startup World through an immersive interaction with Entrepreneurs, Venture Capitalists and the Ecosystem to Harness Innovation

• Everybody Wants it…
• …but Biz Application is
elusive.
• Risk / Biz Impact is
uncertain.
• These buzzwords keep
changing very quickly
now..
• Hot today… But
tomorrow ?
Innovation has many ‘BuzzWords’
So how does a Corporate keep pace ?!

• BAU + Innovation is hard
to execute
• Co’s hard pressed to think
up innovation on their own
• Averse to the risks of
Implementation & Failure
• Awareness of buzzwords
is not enough
• Increasing Pressure on
Leadership to Innovate
The Need to innovate will Increase
The Innovation dilemma is real..!

…Lets Use This
Innovation is already happening in the Start Up
World…
Startups
Are Born to Innovate &
Disrupt
ü Have Great Teams & Ideas
ü Need access to Business
ü Require Funds & Mentorship
ü Dream to become Huge
Look to Corporates to get
Funded or Acquired
Track Trends Closely &
Comprehensively
Take Financial bets on:
ü Themes
ü Teams
ü Time
They Understand Startups the
Best
VC/PE’s

7. 7
Corporates cannot Innovate in Isolation
Startups are already disrupting ‘Status Quo’, but
need corporate adoption for funding and sales
VC’s are in the thick of things…
