We are delighted to share that we hosted a team of highly motivated, social enterprise startups at our Bank. All these startups received Grants under our FIRST SYMPHONY - IGNITE Grant from IDFC FIRST Bank. Hosted as an exclusive Founders Meet, the event brought together 20 high-potential startups, incubators, mentors and ecosystem stakeholders.
The startup founders got an opportunity to engage directly with our MD & CEO, Mr. V. Vaidyanathan, and describe their products and services. On behalf of all of us, he led a rapid-fire discussion with these startups' founders, understood the business model, the social cause they were solving for, and the impact they were making. It was great listening about their successes.
Senior leaders including Rachana Iyer, Head - Corporate Social Responsibility; Mr. Girish Malhotra, Head - New Economy Group; Mr. Avik Sarkar, Chief Data & Analytics Officer; Mr. Bhavesh Jatania, Head - Startup Banking; and Ms. Vidhi Singh, CSR Lead, also joined the conversations.
We were also joined by our incubation partners from FITT – Mr. Neelabh and Mr. Tarun Chaturvedi and SINE – Mr. Prasad Shetty, Ms. Rashmi Mahajani, Dr. Ganga S, Mr. Natrajan S, Mr. Kiran Deshpande, whose continued support strengthens the startup ecosystem.
Most importantly, the event celebrated passionate founders building innovative solutions to drive Social Good and create meaningful impact across communities.
