It must be said that of all the startup showcase events in India, Proto was the first and it has the largest mindshare. The Proto team has worked very hard to make this a regular event. And having this in different Indian cities gives it a pan Indian character.
I was personally involved with Proto’s first edition but have had to pull back my participation due to my own work commitments. Check out the startups that were featured in the first & second edition in the decks below…
