“Through this summit, we are enabling the start-ups to understand the journey of innovations to start-ups, start-ups to funding, funding to scaling-up, scaling-up to exit and exit to serial entrepreneurship,” Murali Bukkapatnam, president of TiE-Hyderabad and managing director and chief executive of getdomestichelp.com, stated in a press release on Thursday.
