Panel Discussion Topic: Real Talk – How We Built Our Businesses Online
Ms. Soumya Kalluri, Founder of Dwij
Topic: Bootstrapped Growth: How a Startup Can Scale Smartly with Limited Resources
Ms. Vijeta Soni, Co-Founder & CEO of Sciative
Topic: Women in Tech Entrepreneurship: Breaking Barriers and Building Businesses
Guests of Honour
Sujata Biswas and Taniya Biswas, Founders of Suta
Su & Ta are not just sisters - they’re co-conspirators of a movement. One is the compass, the other the heartbeat. One gives shape, the other gives soul. And together, they turned a “forgotten saree” into a 90-crore bootstrapped brand that works with 17,000 artisans, runs 17 stores, and is rewriting the future of mindful fashion.
