Highlights of Startup Knockdown+ Pune
Bhargavi Desai, Founder of Enrouto shared that the highlight of the event for her was the interaction session that followed the pitches. The session enabled startups to engage in one-on-one discussions with mentors and gather vital feedback on the product roadmap. Enrouto decided to use the opportunity of Startup Knockdown to launch the product beta and this allowed to get useful feedback and suggestions specific to the product to improve the user experience and drive user growth.
We would like to thank our partners Amadeus, TTF, Indian Angels Network, Investronaut, Frootrip, FunStay, Pune Angels and Mumbai Angels for supporting this event and the judges for sharing their knowledge with us. Stay tuned for more stories from the event.
