NOTWITHSTANDING the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic that has now raged on for over 20 months, the Indian tech startup space has remained unhindered. While several business ventures have been hit by the pandemic, tech startups have thrived, thanks to the greater reliance on the digital space.
The Young Entrepreneur Awards and Summit 2021 honoured and celebrated this new breed of digital-entrepreneurs (or digitalpreneurs) and also provided a platform for a discussion on the makings of successful entrepreneurs.
