TiE Mumbai helped these corporates from designing, building value for startups, executing the program (cohorts) to holding a demo/graduation day as a part of entire exercise. Today, TiE Mumbai is viewed as one of the successful partners in India to help corporates in their Open Innovation Strategy and Programs. It won the “Most Innovative Program” among all the other chapters at the last Rome Retreat. It has also organized several Thought Leadership Series, investor connects and venture investing classes during this period.
