ET Startup Awards 2024: Jury members value uniqueness in startups
The jury will come together to recognise the brightest and best entrepreneurial leaders that have emerged from what has been a challenging few years for the startup ecosystem.
ETSA will award founders who have built companies without external funding, those who have innovated successfully, built businesses in the social enterprise space, and entrepreneurs who have made a comeback. We will also present the highest accolade of them all — the Startup of the Year. Apart from these, the awards will recognise students who have founded companies while on campus, female entrepreneurs in the Woman Ahead category, and the year’s best investor in the Midas Touch segment.
Launched in 2015, ETSA has over the past ten years chronicled Indian entrepreneurship and innovation as India powers on as a startup nation.
