The theme for this edition of TiEcon Delhi is ‘The Balancing Act’ as it is believed that India’s unique success story as an entrepreneurial leader in the years to come will need a healthy mix of developing thought leadership, intellectual honesty and maturity to overcome gritty challenges to build billion dollar 100-year organizations.

“In the last few years, Entrepreneurship has entered the mainstream, defining career ambitions for a new generation of young Indians. While aspirations and dreams are at the core of entrepreneurial ambitions, it is extremely important to have the right co-founders, hire the right skill-sets, and identify opportune platforms to engage with investors. Unlike the India of even a decade ago, entrepreneurs today have the opportunity to interact with and learn from industry veterans and young guns who have made it big. TiEcon Delhi 2015 will enable entrepreneurs to develop an understanding of what it takes to build an enterprise,” says Deep Kalra – Group CEO MakeMyTrip & President, TiE Delhi NCR.
