Local Startup Meets are always an exciting opportunity to engage with the entrepreneurial community, and we were thrilled to be part of one such event organized by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur at the Hindustan Chamber of Commerce, Chennai. Our Founder and CEO, Mr. Shyam Sekar, had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion alongside fellow experts Nithish Kumar Balamurugan from GUVI and Padmanand Vasanthasekaran, where we explored the intriguing topic: ‘How Funding Affects/Impacts the Culture of a Startup?’
The session was full of valuable insights, great points and numerous real-world examples that highlighted the delicate balance between securing funding and maintaining a strong, cohesive startup culture. It was a wonderful opportunity to share thoughts on how funding decisions can influence team dynamics, innovation and long-term sustainability. We hope the discussion provided meaningful takeaways for the audience, empowering them to make informed decisions as they navigate their own entrepreneurial journeys.
