BENGALURU: Tech entrepreneurs across the nation are uniting in a string. Through various fun filled activities like forming Whatsapp groups, holding road trips, catching up at coffee shops and other low cost networking options, they are actually aiming for sharing knowledge and business techniques among each other.

Satya Padmanabham, co-founder of Zap-Stitch, a cloud business solution puts it as, “In the past, people felt they are giving away their trade secret.Now it is like, if I gave any information, tomorrow I can call the same people for help, we may collaborate or even form a company together."

I-Spirit and Microsoft Ventures organized an event called Saasx where almost 100 software-as-a-service companies met to share knowledge. Forty entrepreneurs who participated in the event, shared insights like fund raisings, getting clients to product iteration and how to send emails to the customers. Padmanabham was part of this event that started with these forty techies travelling in a road trip from Bangalore to Chennai.

While recalling initial ways of networking with techies, Padmanabham said, “Initially, I created the relationship by sending cold emails.”

Now the means of communication between these techies is more advanced. They are connected via, Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp groups.

One of the entrepreneurs from Saasx commented about this new tech networking:

"Everybody feels that they are in the same boat. A single company cannot make India as the product nation," said Paras Chopra, founder of Wingify, a startup that provides technology to more than 4,000 customers in 80 countries to increase website sales, signups and downloads.

Bangalore Start Ups, a Facebook page launched and controlled by Harshit Agarwal, co-founder of Appknox, currently has more than 40000 members.
