UnPluggd is India’s biggest startup event that brings
together Entrepreneurs, Geeks, Investors, Angels and
startup ecosystem together.

your own business, you’ve got to be @UnPluggd!

3. What Entrepreneurs Say ?
"It was a tremendous experience demoing Arivu, our flagship product, at
Unpluggd5.
Needless to say, our demo at the event got us a chance to pitch the company to all
the marquee investors in India and helped us raise a round of angel funding from a
serial entrepreneur and seasoned angel investor.
What surprised us the most was the popularity that Pluggd.in enjoyed even among
our potential customers. The fact that we were the finalists at Unpluggd
gave us a lot of preassigned credibility during our customer
interactions.
I wholeheartedly congratulate the Pluggd.in team for providing the nascent
entrepreneurial ecosystem in India with such a viable showcasing platform."
- Srini , Arivu Founder

4. "We got visibility, business and
investor attention."
Brilliant forum!! Far exceeded my expectations in terms of quality of speakers, quality
of demos, audience and the overall arrangement including the quality of venue.
As a demoing company, our objective was to get visibility and potential
business opportunities. We have got both in this forum. We have had interest
from folks/companies that haven't attended UnPluggd, yet writing to us about their
interest in our products. We also have had interest from investors. Not to miss out
interest from some of the attendees too.
Time and effort very very well spent and enjoyed every moment of being part of
UnPluggd.
- Arvind Pani . Reverie Founder

growth of a startup. An UnPluggd demo is a guaranteed opening to business
opportunities that are very important for all early stage companies.
At uniRow, we saw 600% growth in traffic after UnPluggd and great
interests from potential partners. Some of our early partners came
to know about us because of UnPluggd. Interactions with experienced
entrepreneurs during the event helped us establish a deeper connect with
domain experts who later helped in fine tuning our business.
If you are an early stage company looking to raise funds, an UnPluggd demo is a
sure shot way to get the right attention."
