"Today, Gujarat has an entrepreneurship supporting government; the state has one of the best educational institutes and there are lots of people with entrepreneurial spirit. However, the success rate of start-ups in Gujarat is quite low, due to lack of curated guidance. I am glad that through this showcase, we were able to bring Gujarat's most eligible start-ups and potential investors on the same stage and took the first step in revitalizing the eco-system here," Co-Founder FundTonic, Bhavin Parikh.
To show support to FundTonic's efforts, Sunil Shah, Chairman, Gujarat Innovation Society (GIS) said, "As a rising state, we need innovation for long-term sustainability. Having insufficient funds can hamper the innovation and growth of any business. I am glad through FundTonic potential start-ups and investor community will work towards achieving innovative and disruptive solutions for Gujarat's growth story.
