One of the world’s largest and leading startup events, Slush, is organized every year and sees participation from more than 30,000 parties, especially startup founders and entrepreneurs.

IT Minister Govt. of Tamilnadu ) and others.

While talking Ravi Ranjan mentioned, “Indian startup ecosystem has been growing phenomenally over the last few years. At the event, I highlighted how UPI and fintech innovation contribute to India’s growth.” “The increasing UPI payments, digital transactions, and ease of transaction across the country is the result of an excellent startup ecosystem and it contributes to the digital economy of the country. Through several ties, both countries contribute to each other’s growth. We can also look at some of the best practices of Finland and implement them in India.

 This was particularly a great opportunity for Ravi Ranjan who is also the Chief of Partnership & Events at India’s largest early stage Investment network Venture Catalysts group to represent India at this mega event as he is one of the most active contributors towards the growth of the Indian Startup Ecosystem. Ravi Ranjan’s incredible journey from a Naxal-affected childhood in Japla Palamu Jharkhand to becoming a key startup ecosystem enabler both domestically and globally has been an inspiring tale of perseverance and passion.
