Name of the speaker: - Dr. Shyam Vasudev Rao

Date: 19th

July 2017

Title of the Talk: - Health Innovations and Entrepreneurship “Innovating for

the masses”

Dr Shyam holds a doctorate in Real Time Embedded Systems, invented first Hardware based anti-virus named KNOXWARE. The talk mainly highlighted on the need to create HMI (Human Machine Interaction) therefore making the problems more solvable. Famous quote being “People pay for experience, not for the product”. Speaker also explained about 3nethra (device made in ophthalmology) wiz, A small device that does all work in one. Since 2013, 1400+ installation in 25 countries and 2.5 million have been screened already. Other


innovation also included the idea to treat the refractive error in eyes of children, which is still in ideation phase.

Talk was concluded with another quote “Dream is not what you see when you are asleep, but the things that don’t let you sleep”. The quotes were the main takeaway, as they were thought-provoking

Name of Speaker: Anush Sankaran From: IBM Research Date: 20th July

2017

The session started with the groupie! The participant batch was introduced to the

basic topics of Deep learning. Previous knowledge about Machine Learning was

refreshed for the participants, the talk drew the complicated process of coding

and building algorithm, collecting features into a simpler form i.e. DARVIZ (deep

abstract representation, visualization, and verification of deep learning models)

It’s a visual programming IDE, where design of a deep learning model becomes

intuitive by using a drag-and-drop framework.

Once the designing is done, DARVIZ can write the execution in deep learning code. It uses three different platforms i.e. Tensorflow (Python), CAFFE (C++),


Theano (Python), Torch (Lua), and Deeplearning4j (Java). This tool helps in extreme rapid prototyping of deep learning models and implementation of state of art papers. The perks which we were able to experience was it could take any state of paper (for instance a pdf file) which could scan and was able to write the code in any of the three platforms available, which was amazing. The GUI is user friendly as well. NAME OF THE SPEAKER: A VIJAYARAJAN

DATE: 20 Th JULY 2017

Topic: Making Innovation Happen: Crossing the Chasm Between Concept and Product

A Vijayarajan gave an inspirational talk on the topic ‘Crossing the chasm.’ It gave an insight into business. Speaker told about his 40 years of his experience in industries, under product development in medical technologies and information technology. Being the founder and chief technology officer of Innaccel technologies, Vijayarajan spoke about the 5 Medtech products that Innaccel had created in the past few years. “InnAccel identifies critical unmet needs, with large addressable markets, using the Biodesign process. Selected through a 6-9 month Biodesign program, form the basis of projects to solve these needs through a novel medical technology. These projects undergo a structured 2-3 year development and engineering path- resulting in a world-class, regulatory certified, commercially viable product.” The ideologies of crossing the chasm between concept and product made participants think the exact steps that need to be taken while designing products or solutions. Having vision, a strategy and the execution of the product


is very important. Making you customer win and having a win-win situation is

what is the most essential key to build a foothold into the market.

Aarogya Seva Kendra, LalBagh Speakers: Dr Vijay Padki, Anuntriya Acharya

Date: 22nd July 2017


Day started in Aarogya Seva Kendra. Participants were given T-shirts to wear. A theater personality addressed us and gave two activities to perform on:

1) How to be ourselves and not worry what others think. In this activity we were told to hold anyone object and think of it as another object and work on it.

2) How to say yes and continue a conversation with strangers. In this activity we had to gift something to a stranger and he thinks it as another and replies to it and the conversation should go on.

Quest to perform in LalBagh was initiated to identify the prominent places inside. Participantswere given 40 min to complete the task. After finding each place the teams had to take selfie in front of it with all the team members. They got to know the legacy of the places. Then a teacher who made them perform 3 activities on

1) How quick we can be in responding, in which we had throw a word to other and he adds a word to it and throw it to another person.

2) How to Present, in which we were given a situation and we had to perform on it convey the message to others.

3) How to handle sarcasm, in which the person standing opposite to us said what he didn't like about us and we had to agree for it saying yes. Later all went to Akshaya Restaurant for Lunch.

Name of Speaker: Ram Babu Kondru, CFO, IbHubs India

Date: 24th

July 2017

Chief Financial Officer of iB Hubs. Rambabu addressed the aspirants on Art of fundraising. Also explained about revenue, equity and debts. Speaker gave participants ideas on different type of investors: Angel investors ,super angels


and MicroVCs, Venture capitalists, syndicate which is collection of investors, Lead investor. To ensure proper communication among investors in the syndicate but insist on lead investor being the voice for whole syndicate when it comes to investment terms.

Role of a lawyer as told by Rambabu: Experienced lawyer who understand VC financing is invaluable. Startups have to safeguard from bad/inexperienced lawyer. Mentor can be helpful in financing, if they know the VCs involved for entrepreneur would be good if we share a small success fee for the mentor.

How to raise money? Startups have to be careful not to go out asking for amount required. Executive summary should be short description of presentation. Bootstrapping, Grants, Bank loans, incubators, venture debts and crowd funding.SEBI registration required. Due Diligence report on the investor. Ask him politely for the reference of other startups they have invested in to know them better. If an investor passes on a deal with us then ask feedback.

Steps for MIT Disciplined Entrepreneurship by Abhishek Appaji, Chair,

IEEE Young Professionals Bangalore Section


Name of Speaker: Mr. Mukesh Ghatia Title of Talk: Product Strategy

Mr. Mukesh Ghatiya presented a brilliant talk with class-room exercises on the topic of “Product Strategy”. The theme of his presentation was that a good Product Strategy helps steer a business towards its mission. A good


strategy should result in a product that solves a problem, and is sustainable on the long-term. It is important to clearly bring out the differentiation the business offers with respect to its competition. It should inspire everybody involved in the business.

A good strategy serves as the Decision Making Framework during execution (what to do when). To construct a good strategy, the business needs to have clear VISION, the PROBLEMS/NEED the business want to address, clarity about TARGET USERS, and knows HOW TO POSITION ITSELF. The BUSINESS GOALS need to be identified, and validated upfront. A BUSINESS PLAN needs to be drawn up to meet the BUSINESS GOALS; STEPS in the PATH/BUSINESS PLAN need to be enumerated. It is also important to enumerate WHAT THE BUSINESS IS NOT. The BOOTCAMPers practiced these concepts, refined their BUSINESS/PRODUCT STRATEGY, and made presentations to Mr. Mukesh.

Name of Speaker: Ms. Amrita Gandikota, German Counselee Title of Talk:

Germany & Indian Startups

Ms. Amrita Gandikota, and Mr. Uygar Gedik presented details of the different German initiatives Indian Startups can benefit from. The Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (called ‘AHK Indien’ in German) has been helping businesses in India, and Germany since 1956, and has more than 6700 (about 800 German companies included) members. It has 6 offices in India, and one in Duesseldorf. It has an initiative called ‘DEInternational Services’ that provides business services to its members. Another relevant initiative of the IGCC is the Indo-German Training Center that offers a wide variety of training courses. They also facilitate INTERNSHIP (Ausbildung) opportunities in Germany for Indians.

The German-Asian startup platform StartUp AsiaBerlin is a project established by the State of Berlin in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). It is in operation in MANILA, JAKARTA, BANGALORE, and BERLIN.

The next road-show of this initiative in Bangalore is scheduled for Oct. 28-29, 2017. German Companies are BORN GLOBAL, and that provides great opportunities for Indian Startups to go Global by getting into Partnerships with German companies/opening a branch office in Germany.

DENA, Germany’s centre of expertise for energy efficiency, renewable energy and related technologies works with several German & Indian companies create new solutions, technologies, and installations. They may also partially fund some of the projects. The RUHRSUMMIT is an event focused around startups. The RUHRSUMMIT2017 is scheduled for Oct. 19, 20 at Dortmund, Germany.

Ms. Amrita also provided useful insights into the German culture, and introduced


the concept of 3P=Q: Punctuality, Perfection, and Precision lead to Quality.

Name of Speaker: Jahanzeb Akthar, Income tax Commissioner. Date: 26th July

2017

Title of Talk: Importance of Taxes for Startups

Our perception of paying taxes changed after hearing to Jahanseb Akthar,

commissioner of the Income Tax Department. In our country, we have different

slabs of taxation for salaried employees, it begins at the lowest entry level of 5%

for people earning 2.5 to 5 LPA. The maximum is 30% for people who earn more

than 10 LPA. Evading them is a form of corruption, this is not at all desired for a

proper functioning of the department. The government provides a lot of facilities

for relaxation of taxes under specialized cases. As per the rule passed in 2016,

for start-ups, there is a consecutive three year period for which they are 100%

tax-free. The choice of the years has to be within the first seven years; from the

date, the startup is certified and registered under startup.gov.in website. Once

the startup starts to report a net profit of two crores per year, they are taxable at

a minimum of 8% of their profit. The key is the minimum percentage can be

increased by the payee and it is up to them to pay more taxes. Speaker also

highlighted the impact of cultural diversity in the way tax is paid or not by citizens

of India. The main takeaway is the:

1) Role played tax money we pay in development of our country

2) Pride in paying more taxes

3) Promoting a corruption free nation

4) Start honest and sustain that honesty


Name of Speaker: Karthik Padmanabhan, Google Date: 26th July 2017

Topic: Google Solve for India

Karthik started to work for ‘Solve for India’ program wing of Google nine months back. The idea that incepted this initiative from the global company such as Google was amazement to the audience. For a company that does so well on a global scale, to sit and discusses micro issues around the diverse group of people they cater to; throws importance back to solving the needs that exist rather than inventing a need and solving it.

The speaker spoke about the process Google used to design the said program wing. Based on research the users were categorized as Global, Strivers, and Seekers. Google followed the trail of opportunity and found a real need to invest in Striver market, which they estimate will over-turn the Chinese Market by 2020. India is the largest Striver market in terms of the huge man power that we can present as a nation.

The takeaway from this session:

1) Interact with the end user and understand the real problem.

2) Research and discuss on the nuances of the problem.

3) Make the solution easily accessible and usable.

4) Be an entrepreneur only if you are solving a compelling need.

Name of Speaker: Jagdish Chaturvedi, Clinical Director, InnAccel Date: 26th

July 2017

This speaker started out the session with Q&A and opened it up to the audience;

To structure the further presentation based on the expectation of the attendees.

There was a discussion on IP issues. Speaker told us about the decision making

steps for the safeguarding of our idea. A patent is an option when you would not

want anyone to infringe and affect your market, but in the healthcare industry or

during need of emergency mass-production the license or patent can be open-

sourced. There are regulatory steps for medical devices that increase the end-


cost of one unit of any kind of device. Speaker also gave us hints on how to

bypass the regulatory, and reduce the pricing of the product we develop.

Key takeaways are:

1) Develop products for need.

2) Focus on failing naturally.

3) Fail to learn and grow

4) Follow a structured procedure in product design.

Talk by Yash Veer, Ashoka Fellowship Director Date: 26th July 2017

It was a long and tiring day of about 4 speakers and finally the vibrant team of

ashoka arrived. Initially participants did not know or hear about social

entrepreneurship, currently most of the startups only think of scaling up or

thinking about the profits the startup is going to make or achieve in the years to

come. Well the ashoka team consisting of Mr Yash veer who was the key

speaker gave a brief introduction of bill drayton the founder of ashoka and what

inspired him to give the name ashoka it was interesting to know the answer. We

got an in depth understanding about the wonderful establishment and the

increment of ashoka fellows, which was astonishing and made us realize that

there are people who work for the betterment of our society. Mr Yash gave

examples of young teenagers. One example being a young teenager from

Mumbai who gave a thought about the slum dwellers living on the footpaths

during a rain but what inspired young entrepreneurs was the solution he came up

with. Another example being two young girls in bangalore who thought about the

water we waste in hotels. This was the longest day we spent in bootcamp class

1, but the day does not end here after we thank Mr Yash we were surprised to


see a wildcard entry entering the hall it was none other than the BMSCE

principal, who was friendly and vibrant his few words of wisdom enlightened

audience to have a wanting to learn more

Name of Speaker: Ravi Bhola

Date: 27th

July 2017 Mr. Ravi Bhola, partner K&S partners, gave a session on

“Effective IP management”.

Speaker gave us various insights about how to patent a technology/ product. Ravi said Disclose what you have innovated, get recognition, license it. It was an eye opener session and an interesting topic post lunch. Ravi highlighted the three important key factors to apply for a patent that is novelty, inventiveness, utility. Ravi spoke about kinds of IPR's, trademark, copyright, contents of a specification, freedom to operate(FTO), and a few more. There was an emphasis on the improvements and the standardizations that have been done in the international patents in accordance with the Paris Treaty. Ravi encouraged the boot-campers also to apply for a patent under a provisional application in India, and then in the coming years filing a patent under PCT and any country out of the 151 allowed, to file another one for commercial usage. The questions and answer session included a lot of queries by the inquisitive candidates, which were answered by Mr. Ravi.
