The upcoming Startup Mahakumbh event aims to focus on less prominent sectors, such as manufacturing and deeptech. DPIIT joint secretary, Sanjiv, believes these sectors require the most support from the startup ecosystem. The event, taking place in Delhi from March 18-20, will host over 1,000 startups, investors, incubators, and accelerators. It will feature separate pavilions for various sectors such as AI and SaaS, agritech, biotech and pharma, and gaming and esports.
