Hyderabad to host start up conclave on August 26

Entrepreneurship opportunities in sports, along with others, would be debated at a start up conclave to be held here on August 26 and 27.
The fifth edition of August Fest would have two events -- Scale Up festival and the Sports Carnival. Over 60 business leaders and sports personalities are expected to speak at the events and ten workshops will be held, Adi Vemuru, one of the organisers, told reporters here today.
Seasoned shuttler Jwala Gutta said such events are needed to establish an eco-system for sports to take a major leap.
Telangana IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan said the August Fest, into its fifth year, would provide guidance to start up enthusiasts.

The state government would promote start ups, he said.
There are opportunities for start ups in sports as well with competitive leagues coming up in different sports, he added.
