[TechSparks Mumbai] 7 reasons to attend the premier edition of India’s most influential startup-tech event in Mumbai

For over 13 years, TechSparks has been held in Bengaluru, where thousands congregated at India’s startup capital to join the country’s largest startup-tech conference.

And now, YourStory’s flagship event TechSparks is gearing up for a spectacular premier edition in India’s financial capital, Mumbai, on March 22 and 23, 2023, at Grand Hyatt Mumbai Hotel & Residences.

India’s financial capital is home to nearly a third of the country's unicorns and is a major startup hub buoyed by innovation-friendly policies and a favourable investor base. It’s fitting therefore, that TechSparks expands its presence to Mumbai to spotlight the city’s role in building India’s tech agenda.

With just a few days to go, here are seven reasons why you should attend the TechSparks 2023 Mumbai edition.
