Startup Weekend, a non-profit organization, has announced in their blog that the second Startup Weekend Delhi event will be held from 9th to 11th December, 2011. The venue is yet to be finalized. SW Delhi was organised for the first time earlier in March this year. The organisers have also come up with a Startup Weekend Gurgaon from 11th to 13th November at Airtel’s office, making the year-end a boon for startup junkies in Delhi and NCR.
As quoted by Mr. Pankaj Jain in the blogpost, this Startup Weekend is going to be even better than the earlier one with a strong line-up of speakers, investors and entrepreneurs set to come. Till now three Startup Weekend events have been organised in India in the cities of Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The response to previous events has been good and the lead organizer for India, Mr. Pankaj Jain was even quoted as saying in his blog:
Between these three events, Startup Weekend has kicked off 39 teams of entrepreneurs, techies, designers, and business people.
He also mentions that the teams formed in startup events might not last long, but the whole idea of attending such an event is to become a better entrepreneur the next time around. And, why wouldn’t you? The 54-hour extravaganza (trust me, it is one) starts on a Friday evening and ends on a Sunday night. It provides unparalleled networking, team building, and real-life implementation of ideas during the weekend. Food and drinks are also a part, thus, making the whole event a rapid-fire prototype building affair with strangers as team-mates and potential co-founders, or hires for your startup.
