The Global Startup Summit 2025 in Chennai proved to be a significant milestone, bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders for a day marked by high energy, meaningful dialogue, and impactful moments.
Our Founder, Mr. Shyam Sekar S, played a key role at the summit as a Jury Member for the ‘Pitch Battle’, one of the event’s most intense segments. The session witnessed founders presenting months and years of hard work within a limited timeframe, demonstrating exceptional grit, passion, and resilience. Beyond evaluating business models, the jury engagement underscored the importance of encouraging and recognising risk-takers who step forward to build innovative ventures.
The summit also marked a personal and professional milestone with the official launch of the book Startup Alchemist by Mr. Shyam Sekar S, launched alongside Mr. Mohit Sureka, Founder of the Global Startups Club. The moment reflected a shared vision for founders and entrepreneurs, with the book capturing insights, experiences, and lessons distilled from years of engagement within the startup ecosystem.
In addition, Mr. Shyam Sekar S participated in a panel discussion on startup funding, where conversations focused on what makes investment pitches impactful, the challenges founders continue to face, and the mindset required to sustain long-term entrepreneurial journeys. The discussion reinforced the value of open dialogue and collective learning in strengthening the ecosystem.
Beyond the formal sessions, the summit stood out for its strong sense of community—from applause for emerging founders and warm responses at the book launch to meaningful interactions across the venue.
The Global Startup Summit 2025 reaffirmed that such platforms go beyond networking, serving as catalysts for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and mutual growth, while celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship that drives innovation forward.
