What People Say About Us

It was incredible to be part of the Mumbai Techsparks Pitchfest, esp. as one of the winners. That one event helped line up more than 20 investor meetings. We got many inbound requests from potential customers and collaborators. For Babblebots, there could not have been a better platform to hatch out from our stealth mode. Only love and gratitude for the YS team!!
Roli Gupta
Founder @ BabbleBots
The Pitchfest was like a demo day for us. It got us directly to pitch to multiple investors at the same time. We got connected to about 10 investors after the pitch and had different levels of conversation with each of them. There were blogs shared about us, which got us visibility in the ecosystem and got our story in front of people who it mattered to.
