Imagine wearing a digital ring that could hold all your important documents like Aadhar, Drivers’ Licence and one that could even pen your digital signature, when required. A ‘ring of the future times’, as it may sound, was one among the several ideas pitched at the 17th edition of Startup Summit 2019 held in Bengaluru on August 12 and 13. The Startup Summit, powered by Entrepreneur India, was an early platform for as many as 14 young start-ups to present their ideas to an esteemed panel helmed by Excubator investor and founder Guhesh ​Ramanathan, Smart Advisors CEO Sriram Sekhar, Future Group Head (Open Innovation) Saravana Mani and CoCreate Ventures’ founder Suresh Narasimha.
