VCCircle Ahmedabad Investment Forum

Rasna, India’s local entrepreneurial story, was launched as a brand in the mid-70s but started gaining popularity in the 80s when the market was dominated by carbonated soft drinks like Thums up, Gold Spot and Limca. Piruz Khambatta, chairman & MD of Rasna, is now joining Ahmedabad’s largest entrepreneurship and investment forum – VCCircle Ahmedabad Investment Forum – to discuss ‘Building Global Companies From India’ with ‘Insights On Scaling Up & Business Transformation.’ The summit will be held on Nov 29, at The Pride hotel, Ahmedabad.

More such success stories are definitely on the cards as Gujarat’s regulations and policies have become really proactive when it comes to private sector investment. The Gujarati entrepreneurial DNA and the high investment & deal-making potentials are key reasons which make the state’s ecosystem extremely attractive. To discover opportunities here, we are hosting the 2nd edition of VCCircle Ahmedabad Investment Forum which will congregate top and emerging entrepreneurs, deal-makers, consultants and investors in Gujarat.

There will be a special session on the pros and cons of the state’s entrepreneurship scenario as Amit Bakshi, Founder & MD of Eris Lifesciences, and Mahesh Chabbria, Partner at Actis, will identify the characteristics that define Gujarat entrepreneurs and their businesses. Plus, there will be relevant insights – what are the sectors which will witness a slew of entrepreneurial activities and where is the state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem headed?
