AGRA, India: A founder preparing to raise capital needs a clear account of how the business works. Global Startup Summit Agra will bring that question into focus on 24 October 2026, when entrepreneurs and investors gather at Hotel Grand Imperial for the summit's 23rd edition.
Hardik Chadda, Director of Hankernest Technologies, will feature in 'The Evidence Room: Proving a Startup Before Equity'. The session puts investment readiness on the agenda. For a founder, a conversation about capital also requires a conversation about the enterprise itself: how it operates, what it has achieved and what supports its plans for growth.
Customer relationships will receive attention in 'The Second Sale Begins With the First Return', featuring Richa Bansal, Founder and Director of Purple & Pink Digital Marketing Pvt Ltd, and Vishal Verma, Founder and CEO of Aikia Flavours. The discussion connects the experience after a purchase with the challenge of earning repeat business.
A further perspective comes from Arpit Gupta, Founder and CEO of Gropto, through 'Before the Bot: The Data an MSME Can Actually Trust'. Its focus on dependable business information is relevant to entrepreneurs considering where technology belongs in their operations.
Mohit Sureka, Founder and CEO of Mojo Capital and Global Startups Club, and Jignesh Shah, Founder and CEO of Insignyx Technologies and a Global Startups Club charter member, will also join the speaker line-up. The summit brings the club's founder and charter-member network into the same setting as entrepreneurs building and running their ventures.
The gathering will also welcome Shri S. P. Singh Baghel, Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and Panchayati Raj.
Global Startups Club is organising the event, with expected participation of more than 300 delegates and over 15 investors. The planned format gives founders a chance to compare perspectives, ask better questions and begin conversations with people outside their immediate business circles.
Mojo Capital, 3X Events, 100X Brands, Just You and House & Habit are the brand partners supporting the event alongside organiser Global Startups Club.
The Agra edition is intended for entrepreneurs who want to engage with the substance of building a company and meet others working through similar decisions. Founders and investors can find event and registration details at summit.globalstartups.club/agra.
