Dear Partners and Startups,

We greeted 2020 with an increased vigor to accelerate our goal of creating greater impact on the open innovation

platform. During the first quarter we successfully organized 2 Konnect sessions and suggested over 200+ startups for

40+ use cases. Through our NIPP initiative, we have provided market exposure to over 400+ startups across India

through January to March 2020. Unfortunately in the recent month the entire world and each of us has been gripped

by the global pandemic COVID-19.

Even through the challenging times, we continue to work with startups, partners and the entire startup ecosystem,

ensuring business continuity is least affected in this tough environment. We are providing market access in India and across the world through

exclusive and sector-focused pitch sessions, virtual industry events, open innovation and CXO round tables and so on. We have heightened our

efforts on investor connects and government rebate recommendations as funding and building working capital is most crucial for startups.

10,000 Startups is working together with the central and state governments on policies, relief-initiatives and opportunities that will benefit the

businesses. We have also been closely involved in fast tracking the COVID-19 startup solutions with the government . We have also planned 50+

online sessions in the coming months such as interactive panels, webinars and AMA sessions to equip our startups with the learning that will help

them tide through this catastrophe.

We are sure that with your continued support we will see this crisis through together.

A message from our Director, 10,000 Startups by NASSCOM

Warm regards,

Kritika Murugesan

ecosystem and models of engagement with  startups. The session facilitated deliberations to get perspectives on the different ways and

opportunities and challenges, as well as best practices in startup engagement.

Other key points discussed were:• Leaders touched upon the

internal resistance they face in

the nascent stages of

introducing a startup to their

organisation

• Tackling issues by creating a

bridge between the Business

teams and Labs team and,

clearly defining the business

problems to startups.

• Involving internal stakeholder

throughout the process and

focusing on one successful

scalable solution rather than

multiple short-term PoCs.

• They also shared thoughts for

startup founders, such as: Pitch

the value of your product and

present how it affects business

outcomes and Founders should

understand the scale and

complexity of dealing with a

global company.
