16th TiE Lumis Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards: Honoring those who have demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges, maintaining a clear long-term vision and strategy for success.

As we usher in the 16th year of the TiE Lumis Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards, we stand at a pivotal moment in the Indian startup ecosystem. The past year's challenges, marked by high-interest rates and cautious investment strategies, are giving way to a more optimistic outlook for 2024. Venture capitalists are now renewing their focus on early-to-growth-stage startups, indicating a significant shift in the investment landscape. This positive change is driven by more reasonable valuations and a renewed emphasis on solid business fundamentals over-inflated valuations.

In light of these developments, the TiE Lumis Awards this year will celebrate the resilience and adaptability of startups that have not only navigated the funding winter but are now poised to thrive in this reinvigorated environment. We aim to honor those innovative enterprises that have shown exceptional prudence and agility, restructuring their business models towards sustainability and profitability. These are the startups that have shifted focus from mere fundraising to achieving strong unit economics and attracting global investor confidence.

Key benefits include:

Coverage across prominent TV segments, focused on leaders of tomorrow.
Opportunity to engage with some of the most globally renowned marquee investors in specially curated sessions.
Mentorship program to hand-hold your next few steps, by prominent Industry leaders.
Exclusive workshop hosted by Lumis partners, with an opportunity to interact with previous winners.
International exposure through various networking and mentorship opportunities.
