Calicut, Kerala: In an endeavor to support the Startup Mission in Kerala, Lead Angels Network, India’s first privately managed angel network contributed with the inaugural keynote session at the 3rd edition of Seeding Kerala. Setting up the context for the three-day conference, Lead Angels Network facilitated the positive dialog between investors and entrepreneurs for a fruitful discussion, to explore the right opportunities of investing in Technology Startups.
Speaking on the occasion, Sushanto Mitra, Founder & CEO, Lead Angels said, “With each passing decade, the life span of companies in leadership positions is declining rapidly indicating a huge opportunity for startups to disrupt large global corporations. By 2025, the Indian affluent class would touch 600 million creating a market for goods and services larger than present day Europe and also potentially make beach-heads into Asia and Africa. India is poised to be at the forefront of the world economy and ahead of UK, Germany and S. Korea among others.’ “Kerala” he added “provides a fertile ground for such disruptions with a well laid out infrastructure and governmental support.”
Innovation, disruption, affordability, leveraging technology, backed by Founder’s passion invites for a thorough qualifier-check at Lead Angels Network.
