Spotlight on Sector Pavilions

One of the most exciting features of Startup Mahakumbh 2025 is its sector-specific pavilions. Startups will be able to showcase their work in high-impact areas such as AI, HealthTech, AgriTech, FinTech, Mobility, and Defence. These pavilions serve a dual purpose, helping investors discover innovation tailored to their interests, while giving startups a platform to stand out in their specific domains.

This thematic approach makes it easier for investors and OEMs to explore exactly where their expertise and resources align, ensuring that conversations at the event are not just inspirational but also actionable.

Voices That Inspire

Every great event is defined by the leaders who lend their vision to it. Startup Mahakumbh 2025 brings together an extraordinary lineup of speakers who have influenced India’s entrepreneurial and technological journey. Among them are:

• Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India
• Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Science & Technology, Government of India
• Mr. Alok Gupta, MD of Unistal Global and IndiaIT360
• Dr. V.K. Saraswat, Member, NITI Aayog
• Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India
• Dr. Kiran Bedi, Former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry

Their presence underlines the government’s strong commitment to nurturing startups, while also giving participants a rare opportunity to learn from policymakers, scientists, and industry veterans.

Opportunities for Every Stakeholder

While the event is often described as a “startup festival,” its impact stretches far wider. For Startups, this is a chance to pitch directly to investors, gain visibility, and secure collaborations. An added incentive is the 30% discount on booth space for registered startups, making it easier for even early-stage founders to participate.

For OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), the event offers a platform to showcase technology solutions and build partnerships with high-growth startups that could integrate or scale their products.
For Investors, Startup Mahakumbh acts as a curated discovery platform to meet some of the brightest minds in India’s startup ecosystem.
For Delegates and Policymakers, it’s a rare opportunity to witness the breadth of innovation happening in India while networking with key industry stakeholders.

A Movement, Not Just an Event

What makes Startup Mahakumbh 2025 unique is that it goes beyond the usual event checklist of talks, panels, and exhibitions. It’s about creating a movement that inspires and empowers entrepreneurs to dream bigger and aim higher. Every participant, whether a student entrepreneur or a seasoned policymaker, is part of a collective effort to shape the future of innovation in India.

As the world watches India’s rise as a startup powerhouse, Startup Mahakumbh 2025 is positioned to be the stage where India reaffirms its role as a global hub of entrepreneurship. Startup Mahakumbh is more than an opportunity; it is a responsibility. A responsibility to showcase India’s best ideas, to connect bright entrepreneurs with the right partners, and to remind the world that innovation in India is not just surviving, but thriving.

On October 9–10, 2025, when thousands gather at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, it won’t just be an event. It will be a statement that India is ready to lead the future of global entrepreneurship. So, whether you’re a startup looking to scale, an investor seeking the next big idea, or a delegate eager to learn and connect, Startup Mahakumbh 2025 is where you need to be.
