The future of mobile growth is about you.

It’s not easy to grow a mobile business or to drive your app forward: thousands of apps launch every week, and it’s difficult to get traction and acquire users.

Getting the right people to your app only addresses part of the challenge: once you have users, how can you make sure you’re engaging and retaining them? No matter how awesome your app is, sometimes you have to develop strategies to remind your users why they downloaded it in the first place. And the cycle never ends – in order to thrive, your app has to have a strategy for continued growth.

RSVP now to the only event in Bangalore devoted to all things mobile apps.

Join us for a day focused entirely on mobile growth, and learn from an incredible lineup of speakers who will share real-world stories of their own struggles and successes. Powered by Branch and YourStory, The Future of Mobile Growth will answer questions about some of the biggest problems facing app developers, marketers, and mobile-first businesses.

Plan on a day of killer keynotes, presentations, and an in-depth panel discussion on the future of mobile growth. You’ll also have the chance to get to know peers and industry leaders who are shaking up the mobile ecosystem during lunch and the social hour.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

A bunch of young chaps didn’t have money to pay their rent. But, they had ideas to disrupt the real estate market. In a few years time, they did something that no one ever imagined – they disrupted the real estate rental market through the use of smart technologies that revolves around the concept of shared economy. There are similar stories of other successful startups that are disrupting industries & changing our lives for the better.

The journey from an idea or concept in mind to a real startup doesn’t happen overnight & doesn’t happen without pre-planning. If it happens overnight without pre-planning, then the startup will most likely fail. In fact the success rate of startups is less than 1% which means that more than 99% of startups fail within a year of founding the startups.

Entrepreneurs & Founders cannot control everything that happens to their startup. But, they can definitely ensure that the probability of failure is reduced. The first step towards that goal is to plan a good business model. They sit together & jot down their idea on paper & plan their business model. Business model will chart the future direction of a startup.

If you’re truly passionate about Entrepreneurship & love to design Business Models, then this is the perfect workshop for you!

Answer these questions where applicable to you:

You have an idea in mind but not sure how to design a pragmatic Business Model?

Do you wanna learn more about startups? Are you curious to learn the difference between a startup, small businesses & Corporates? Or, are you curious to learn more about the Lean Startup Methodologies & the Business Model Canvas?

Are you curious why Startups like Uber, Olacabs, Flipkart, Airbnb etc., are successful? Ever wondered how some of the best startups in the world came out glorious with winning business models?

Are you a student who wants to learn how to design Business Models?

Do you love playing games & hackathons or tackle interesting case challenges to create pragmatic business models?

If any of the answers to the above questions is “YES”, this is the right workshop for you!!

Startup problems addressed:

1) If i am going to disclose my idea/technology to various stakeholders, how can i protect myself?

2) We are a tech focused startup looking for funding. How do we increase our valuation?

3) We think we know what our value proposition and differentiators are, but we are not sure whether it is unique

4) We are targeting global markets, what are some of the challenges we would face?

Relevance of IPR for startups:

Intellectual Property makes up for most of the value of an early stage technology company. When IP is protected through patents, trademarks, copyrights, design registrations etc, this value can be monetized in multiple ways, such as by providing competitive advantages and a larger market share, differentiation, barriers to entry for competitors, licensing revenue, sale of IP assets, and enhancing the valuation of the company for fund raising, M&A etc.

Key Takeaways:

Forms of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

What to patent and why?

Is my invention patentable?

Patenting software and business methods

Case Studies on Patents and Trademarks

In the event, both the parties will shake hands, make conversations, take interviews and connect. It’s an evening choreographed to bring those with ideas with those with the ability to bring ideas to life.

Also, unlike other networking events, Techworking intends to encourage graduating students into the start-up ecosystem. The event will host a gathering of college students freshly out from the realms of education; those stepping into the real world.

It’s an initiative purely driven to make things happen; to keep growing, to keep going.

The event will witness talks from a prominent speaker from the HR world, 2 hours allotted for interviews, and database sharing. (The database will be shared with only those who have paid the fee for the event)

Most entrepreneurs are self-employed professionals. They don’t own a business, they own a job. Everything in their business requires their attention thus making them the biggest bottleneck of their business. 

The 2,5 hours Workshop by Rajiv Talreja, Author of the international bestseller book – Lead or Bleed. 

“I help business owners and entrepreneurs build a business which can grow without them”

The ticket:  Rs. 3997 or buy the book “Lead or Bleed” (Rs. 697) online here

Only for BHIVE members, who RSVP at the meetup group the book/ticket will be available at the venue. 

About the speaker: 

Rajiv Talreja is the author of the book “Lead Or Bleed – How Entrepreneurs And Corporate Leaders Can Adopt A Proven System To Stop Fire Fighting And Start Accelerating Performance And Profits.”

Rajiv had two business failures in the past, which he believes have been his best experiences. Currently, he is running two successful businesses: Quantum Leap Learning Solutions and Dream Craft Events. 

Over the last decade, Rajiv has impacted over 50,000 people through his training and coaching engagements.

What began as a young person’s desire to help people transform their businesses has grown into Rajiv’s life long crusade. He is called on by entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to help transform their businesses, their teams, and their leadership styles. Rajiv has been honoured with the “Responsibility Award of Leadership” and the “Catalyst of the Year” award by People First.

Rajiv is a “learner and do-er” and believes there is always a next level, no matter who you are or where you come from.

Key Take-aways from the Business Breakthrough Seminar: 

*For my book, Lead or Bleed, I traveled across India and interviewed 300 entrepreneurs and CEOs of India’s most successful brands to understand, how did they build a business which can grow without them. At the Business Breakthrough Seminar, I share the 3 common principles I learnt from these 300 successful entrepreneurs and CEOs on how to build a scale able business.

*I also share the 3 areas an entrepreneur should focus on to build a business which can grow without them.

*And finally, I give out a system of goal setting in business which is proven to maximize business performance.”

Abstract

QnA systems have been one of the most complicated problems since the information. Even though NLP had been showcasing amazing results like IBM Watson winning the Jeopardy game etc, there is a huge amount of hand crafted features needed to make the system to learn the context and react accordingly. Deep Learning had been performing amazingly good at these scenarios. In the talk, we will discuss about how to use deep learning modules in arya.ai and build a QnA system.

Speakers:

Vinay Kumar along with Deekshith has been named by Forbes Asia 30 under 30 in Feb, 2016.

Shashwat: Shashwat is a Researcher from arya.ai specialized in machine language. Since the past two years, his primary task is to build unsupervised learning systems and make machines learn faster and better with less human inputs. Previously, his research was related to Bio-tech and pattern matching from IISER, Pune.

An entrepreneur grapples with long working hours, limited manpower, improper sleep patterns, and timeline pressures. Challenges of servicing big contracts- big names.
Many a times it would also mean irregular food & sleep. Which will lead to – lack of concentration – increase work hours.

This session will deal with stress management techniques and simple exercises which are tried and tested.

The Issue which is addressed

A startup or an SME works with limited resources. Dilemma is often whether to focus on marketing or on sales; most often sales wins (to bring in revenue). Having said that, a business can grow about that much without effective marketing. Again either a Techie (who created the product) or the CEO ends up being the marketing person and the logic is ‘our product is so good, it will sell by itself’, which is not necessarily true.

Influencer marketing hinges on the fact that, in any industry or field, there are certain people who have influence over others (your prospects). Influencer marketing is all about connecting with these ‘Influencers’ and getting the message about your product or service across to your prospective customers.

Takeaway from the event

Spreading the marketing message through Influencers. Effective use of language to reach the target audience.

The session will explore how an influencer can make all the difference to the marketing budget through stories and anecdotes (one or two case studies)

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

2016 is going to be a challenging year for Entrepreneurs because it’s going to be difficult to raise money from Angel/Venture Capital Investors. Valuations have been dropping & many of the Unicorns have been reduced to a few million dollars. Even companies like Flipkart, Snapdeal etc., have seen their valuations dropping significantly. Part of the reason is mismanagement of finances. Statistically, it has been noted that Founders often mis-allocate money & end-up over spending. Every stage & type of the Startup demands monetary investment in a critical area such as hiring, marketing etc., – which hasn’t been happening with most of the startups.

Given all this data above, how can Founders optimize their finances? And thus, higher probability of succeeding their Startups?

This is an intensive Finance Management Series which will teach you the basics of Finance Management. This Workshop will be quantitatively very intensive & expect to work hard during the session – will be a mix of theory & practical finance related problems via Case Studies. If you’re from a Non-Financial or non-MBA background, this workshop will be extremely invaluable for running your business. A LAPTOP with Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers is required for this workshop.

At the end of the workshop, you will get incredible reference materials.

HERE IS THE AGENDA:

FINANCE MANAGEMENT SERIES [6:00 PM – 9:00 PM]

Startups and Media

These startups need attention for three main reasons: branding, user acquisition and investor attention. Branding helps startups in building a unique name and image. Branding leads adding customers and when you have a sizeable number of customers, startups attract the attention of investors.

Need of media training

To achieve this, startups need to have a good communication strategy to connect with the media so that media can speak about them in the right way. Most entrepreneurs are either technically dexterous or good at operations and do not understand the nuances of communications. They make some critical mistakes while managing their communications with the media. Hence they need a basic understanding of the functioning of media and especially Public Relations. This will help them in achieving media attention.

Objectives of this workshop

• Introduce the Startups to the world of media
• Know the various types of media platforms
• Understand the character of each media
• Understanding Public Relations

Topics Covered

• What is media?
• Types of media (character, reach and content)
• What is Public Relations?

Why is it we think of money as something separate, even distant, from us? It’s somewhere over there, demanding our attention, but easy for us to ignore, at least for now.

It doesn’t seem to belong to us. Often it has little to do with what is important in our lives – our families, our friends, our communities. It’s out of context.

Advisors may intimidate or bore us. They talk in terms of basis points and risk tolerance, using terms we don’t understand or care about.

Imagine a world where money is integral to our identity. A necessary nutrient. Where there  is such a thing as a “money instinct” that we could trust and exercise with confidence.

Imagine a world where finance is brought home to women

Ø Do you enjoy spending it, you’d like to have more of it, and at the same time, you find money frustrating, a hassle, and you’d rather not “have to deal with it”?

Ø Maybe you earn a good income, even a great one, but you’re at a loss to explain where all the money goes?

Ø You have big dreams, but you don’t see how to pull them off, financially. Money feels like a barrier to you or a trap, not a useful tool to reach your dreams.

Ø Do you dread the thought of meeting with your financial planner, if you have one (or might wonder if you have enough net worth for a planner to want to meet with you)

HEALTHY WEALTHY and MONEY WISE is for you, if your answer is a YES to any of the above.

An interactive session to understand our personal Financial Behaviour to bring about the changes required for Financial Success in LIFE!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PAID EVENT.
