At its 9th edition, TechSparks has become a benchmark platform. The event is a convergence of startups, investors, leaders and innovators. The event boasts a variety of engagement ranging from showcase to launches to mentor connect to media coverage. Held at Bengaluru in October this year, the speakers list included an impressive mix of Founders, Policy makers and Game changers.
Another prominent event scheduled in October at Bengaluru, the 15th edition is going to be a congregation of speakers, entrepreneurs, CXOs, investors and customers with the focus on enhancing their businesses by leveraging disruptive technology innovations that will soon be the next big shift.
Started in 2010, UnPluggd, one of India’s biggest Startup and Tech Conference’s 2018 edition is scheduled in Bengaluru this November. This edition of UnPluggd is focused on areas that are defining the NextBigWhats: The Bharat opportunity, AI, Blockchain and Enterprise Businesses.
Though the above three have been prominent events for many years and prove to be a great way to expand your knowledge and make connections, a startup in the beginning stages would gain maximum benefits by looking out for micro format events conducted by VCs. A couple of them include events hosted by Accel and Lightspeed Venture partners.
If you are a startup is in the conceptual stage and you are looking forward to meet mentors and gather insights, accelerator events like the ones hosted by Microsoft Ventures or Blume Ventures would be the best bet. Listen to Santosh Panda, as he explains which events would suit your startup the best.
Unconventional thinking opens paths you never knew existed. Alternate events that defy conventional conference formats are fascinating places to look for cross-sector learning and collaboration. Santosh Panda elaborates on why one should attend events like Nullcon or The Goa Project and what startups can gain from these.

While marriage brings with it its own set of responsibilities for both partners, it is often the woman who needs to so all the adjustments.
For a 25-year-old women — who tied the knot in March-2014 — the love come arranged marriage brought with it a new city, and also the “responsibility of managing household chores“.
Prior to her marriage, she learned to cook after marriage as her husband “doesn’t cook”.
“I struggled and my husband used to tell me that it would turn out better the next time. Now, I am much a better cook,” said the mother to a three-and-a-half-month-old, who chose to work from home after marriage.
Jaane Jaan is a great standalone flick, but a lot of it could have been handled better, and from the POV of the main character.
Jaane Jaan is a thriller streaming on Netflix and is adapted from Keigo Higashino’s book, ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’. I found the film to be riveting, with a nail-biting build-up. However, in my personal opinion, the climax and the treatment of the female lead was a letdown.
Disclaimer: I haven’t read the book yet, and I am not sure how true the adaptation has stayed to the source material.
(SPOILERS AHEAD. Please read after you watch the movie if you are planning to)
