Startup Assam is an initiative by some entrepreneurs who visualized a dream to make Guwahati the next startup capital of India. The association started in January 2015, organizing various programmes, including the popular ‘Startup Saturday Guwahati Talks’. Over a period of two years, it organized over 30 programmes month-on-month covering key topics and ‘pitching sessions’ for entrepreneurs. This effort provided a platform to the upcoming entrepreneurs of the region to showcase their ‘startups’ to mentors, professionals, corporates, and investors.
