Startups & Angel Investing Networking

Angel Investor Meetup β€” Hyderabad Edition

ITC Kohenur, Grand Ballroom, Hyderabad, India

The Angel Investor Meetup β€” Hyderabad Edition 2026 is an exclusive, invite-moderated networking event that connects High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), seasoned angel investors, seed fund managers, and family office representatives with carefully vetted early-stage startups from across India. This is not a public pitch competition β€” it is a curated, closed-format roundtable designed to foster genuine investment conversations in an intimate, professional environment. Hyderabad has quietly emerged as one of India's most dynamic startup ecosystems. With over 4,500 active startups registered in the state, strong infrastructure support from T-Hub and WE Hub, and a growing culture of entrepreneurship driven by tech talent from IIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani Hyderabad, and ISB, the city represents one of the most fertile grounds for early-stage investment in the country. This meetup is specifically designed to bring together the investment community and the startup ecosystem in a meaningful way. What Makes This Meetup Different? Unlike large conferences where startups pitch on stage to a passive audience, the Angel Investor Meetup uses a roundtable model. Each investor is seated with a curated group of 4–6 startups that match their stated investment thesis. Conversations are unhurried, focused, and confidential. No cameras, no livestreams β€” just real conversations between investors and founders. Every startup that participates has been pre-screened by our evaluation team across five dimensions: problem clarity, market size, team credentials, product/service traction, and financial viability. Investors receive detailed dossiers on each startup 48 hours before the event, enabling them to prepare focused questions and come ready to engage meaningfully. Investment Focus Areas for 2026 Based on our research and investor preference surveys, this edition will feature startups from the following high-potential sectors: AgriTech & Food Supply Chain: Farm-to-fork platforms, precision agriculture tools, cold chain logistics startups disrupting India's β‚Ή42 trillion food economy. HealthTech & Diagnostics: AI-powered diagnostic platforms, mental health apps, rural health access models, and medical device innovations. EdTech 2.0: Skill-based learning platforms targeting Tier 2 employability gaps, vernacular content providers, and vocational training tech. B2B SaaS for SMEs: GST automation, inventory management, CRM tools built specifically for the 63 million Indian SME market. CleanTech & EV Ecosystem: EV charging infrastructure, battery recycling, solar financing platforms, and green logistics solutions. Event Format & Schedule The meetup is structured across three phases. The morning session (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM) consists of investor-only briefings where fund managers share their investment thesis, sector outlook, and current portfolio strategy. This is followed by a curated networking lunch where investors and startup founders mix in a relaxed setting. The afternoon session (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM) consists of structured roundtable conversations, with each investor rotating through 2–3 curated startup groups. Each conversation is 30 minutes and follows a structured format: 10 minutes for the startup's overview, 20 minutes for investor Q&A. The day concludes with a cocktails and connections hour where informal conversations continue. For Investors Participating investors receive a curated investment opportunity report, sector analysis briefs, and access to the Netfranex investor CRM for follow-up deal tracking. Our team facilitates term sheet introductions, reference calls, and due diligence support at no additional cost for investments facilitated through this meetup. For Startups Selected startups get access to 25+ active angel investors and fund managers, receive structured feedback on their pitch and business model, and are listed in the Netfranex Investor-Ready Startup Directory β€” shared with 2,000+ investors across our network monthly.

Hosted at the prestigious NASSCOM Innovation Hub in Whitefield, Bangalore β€” India's undisputed startup capital β€” this event is a crucible for ideas that could redefine entire industries.

Business Valuation & M&A Masterclass
18 Oct
Due Diligence & Tax Planning Workshop

Business Valuation & M&A Masterclass

Le Meridien, Bangalore, India

The Business Valuation & M&A Masterclass 2026 is a full-day, practitioner-led workshop designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, CFOs, finance professionals, and investors who want to develop a deep, practical understanding of how businesses are valued, how mergers and acquisitions are structured, and how to maximize the value of a business whether you are buying, selling, or fundraising. Business valuation is one of the most misunderstood aspects of corporate finance. Many business owners dramatically overvalue or undervalue their companies, leading to failed fundraising rounds, poor acquisition outcomes, and missed strategic opportunities. In the high-stakes world of Indian M&A β€” which saw over $80 billion in deal volume in 2025 β€” understanding how your business is valued by investors, acquirers, and lenders is not optional. It is essential for any serious business leader. What This Masterclass Covers The masterclass is structured into four 90-minute modules, each building on the previous to create a comprehensive understanding of valuation and M&A: Module 1: Foundations of Business Valuation (10:00 AM – 11:30 AM) This module covers the three core valuation methodologies: the Income Approach (DCF analysis, EBITDA multiples), the Market Approach (comparable company analysis, precedent transaction analysis), and the Asset Approach (book value, liquidation value, NAV). Real Indian company examples will be used throughout, including case studies of valuations that were challenged and renegotiated. Module 2: Sector-Specific Valuation Nuances (11:45 AM – 1:15 PM) Valuation is not one-size-fits-all. A franchise business, a SaaS startup, a manufacturing unit, and a retail chain are valued using entirely different metrics and benchmarks. This module dives into sector-specific valuation β€” including the use of ARR multiples for SaaS, EV/EBITDA for manufacturing, brand value and royalty rates for franchise businesses, and GMV multiples for marketplace platforms. Module 3: M&A Transaction Structuring (2:00 PM – 3:30 PM) Understanding how M&A deals are structured is as important as understanding valuation. This module covers asset purchase vs. share purchase agreements, earn-out structures, deferred consideration mechanisms, representations and warranties, indemnification clauses, and post-merger integration best practices. Special attention will be given to common pitfalls that cause Indian M&A deals to fail after the LOI stage. Module 4: Practical Workshop β€” Value Your Own Business (3:30 PM – 4:30 PM) In this hands-on session, attendees will apply the valuation frameworks learned during the day to their own businesses or to a provided case study. Working in small groups with a Deloitte or Grant Thornton facilitator, participants will build a simplified valuation model, identify their business's key value drivers, and develop a list of strategic actions that could increase their valuation by 20–40% over 12 months. Facilitators The masterclass is facilitated by experienced M&A professionals from Deloitte India's Transaction Advisory Services practice and Grant Thornton's Deal Advisory team β€” professionals who have collectively worked on over 500 Indian M&A transactions totaling more than β‚Ή50,000 Crore in deal value. What Participants Receive All attendees receive a comprehensive 120-page masterclass workbook, Excel-based valuation model templates (DCF, comparable companies, franchise valuation), a curated list of sector-wise EBITDA multiple benchmarks for Indian industries, a 30-minute post-event one-on-one consultation with a facilitator, and a certificate of completion co-branded by Netfranex and Grant Thornton. The masterclass is limited to 40 participants to ensure quality of interaction. Registration at β‚Ή3,499 includes all materials, vegetarian catered lunch, morning tea, and evening cocktails. Group bookings for 3 or more from the same company receive a 20% discount. Register before October 14, 2026 to secure your seat.

Women Entrepreneurs Connect β€” Delhi NCR
25 Oct
Franchising & Retail Conference

Women Entrepreneurs Connect β€” Delhi NCR

The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, New Delhi, India

The Women Entrepreneurs Connect β€” Delhi NCR Edition 2026 is a landmark conference celebrating the rise of women-led businesses across India and creating a powerful platform for women entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, access capital, and chart their growth paths. This event brings together over 300 women business founders, corporate leaders, investors, and policymakers for a day of inspiration, practical knowledge, and genuine networking. India is witnessing an unprecedented rise in women entrepreneurship. Over 13.5% of all businesses in India are now led by women, and the number is growing at twice the national average for male-led businesses. Women-owned businesses employ over 22 million people and contribute significantly to GDP through sectors like fashion and apparel, food and nutrition, education, beauty and wellness, and digital services. Yet women entrepreneurs continue to face unique challenges in accessing finance, building networks, and scaling beyond the micro-enterprise level. This conference directly addresses these challenges by creating a safe, empowering, and resource-rich environment where women entrepreneurs at every stage β€” from those just starting out to those managing multi-crore enterprises β€” can find the support, knowledge, and connections they need to grow. Conference Highlights Keynote Address β€” The Billion Dollar Woman: Opening keynote by one of India's top 10 women entrepreneurs, sharing the unfiltered story of building a business from zero to β‚Ή500 Crore, the setbacks that tested her resolve, and the strategies that ultimately drove success. Panel: Breaking the Glass Ceiling in Male-Dominated Industries: Women founders who have built successful businesses in construction, technology, manufacturing, and finance share their strategies for earning respect, building authority, and achieving success in industries where women have historically been underrepresented. Masterclass: Funding Your Business Without Losing Control: A deep dive into the spectrum of funding options available to women entrepreneurs β€” from government grants and bank products specifically designed for women to impact investors, angel networks, and revenue-based financing alternatives that allow founders to retain full control of their equity. Workshop: Digital Marketing on a Shoestring Budget: A practical, hands-on session teaching women entrepreneurs how to build a strong brand presence on Instagram, WhatsApp Business, and Google My Business with budgets under β‚Ή10,000 per month. Includes live demonstrations and take-home templates. Speed Networking Sessions: Four structured 30-minute speed networking rounds where attendees rotate through curated conversations with investors, mentors, brand partners, and peer entrepreneurs. Each session is themed β€” Funding & Finance, Marketing & Branding, Technology & Operations, and Scale & Expansion β€” ensuring every conversation is productive and relevant. Special Programs The Netfranex Women Mentorship Program will formally onboard its next cohort of 25 women entrepreneurs at this event. Selected mentees receive 6 months of one-on-one mentorship from senior business leaders, access to a curated investor network, and a β‚Ή1 Lakh business development grant. Applications for this program must be submitted by October 10, 2026. Axis Bank's She First program will have a dedicated desk offering special banking products for women entrepreneurs including collateral-free business loans up to β‚Ή25 Lakh, lower processing fees, and priority relationship manager assignment. FICCI Ladies Organisation will present their annual Women Business Leadership Awards during the conference gala dinner. Conference passes are β‚Ή1,499 per person, inclusive of all sessions, workshop materials, networking lunch, and evening gala dinner. Group passes for teams of 3 or more are β‚Ή999 per person. Seats are extremely limited β€” this event sold out 3 weeks in advance at its last edition. Register today to be part of this transformative experience.

MLM & Direct Selling Industry Congress 2026
08 Nov
Technology & Automation Congress

MLM & Direct Selling Industry Congress 2026

Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, India

The MLM & Direct Selling Industry Congress 2026 is the most authoritative gathering of the direct selling and multi-level marketing industry in South India, bringing together company founders, senior distributors, compliance officers, legal experts, and policy advocates for two days of strategic discussion, regulatory education, and business development at the Chennai Trade Centre. India's direct selling industry has emerged as a powerhouse, generating over β‚Ή21,000 Crore annually and supporting the livelihoods of over 8 million direct sellers across the country. The industry has been significantly shaped by the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules 2021, which brought much-needed regulatory clarity, defined pyramid scheme prohibitions, and established a framework for legitimate direct selling businesses. Understanding and navigating this regulatory environment is now essential for every company and distributor operating in this space. Why This Congress Matters The MLM & Direct Selling Congress is unique because it addresses both the business-building and the regulatory sides of the industry with equal depth. Too often, industry events focus exclusively on motivation and recruitment β€” neglecting the critical importance of compliance, product quality, ethical distributor practices, and sustainable compensation plan design. This congress takes a different approach: it treats direct selling professionals as serious business leaders deserving serious business education. Day 1 β€” November 8, 2026: Regulatory Landscape & Business Strategy The day opens with a comprehensive overview of the 2021 Direct Selling Rules β€” what they require, how they have been enforced in the past three years, and anticipated regulatory changes in 2026-27. This session is presented by legal experts who have worked with the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and directly represented multiple direct selling companies in compliance matters. The afternoon features panel discussions on compensation plan design β€” analyzing the difference between compliant and non-compliant plan structures, how to calculate distributor earnings disclosure (DED), and best practices for ensuring your plan does not inadvertently violate the prohibition on pyramid scheme structures. Company executives from three of India's top-5 direct selling companies share their compliance journeys. Day 2 β€” November 9, 2026: Growth, Technology & Leadership Day 2 focuses on the business growth side of direct selling. Sessions include digital recruitment strategies for the post-COVID distributor, using social media compliantly (including what you can and cannot claim about income potential), building a culture of product-first selling in your downline, and managing a large distributor network across multiple states while maintaining ethical standards. The technology showcase features companies offering MLM software platforms, distributor mobile apps, e-commerce integration tools for direct sellers, and AI-powered lead generation systems specifically designed for the direct selling channel. A dedicated session on international direct selling markets covers opportunities for Indian direct sellers in Southeast Asia, Middle East, and African markets. Special Award Ceremony The IDSA Excellence Awards will be presented at the Congress Gala Dinner on the evening of November 8. Awards categories include Company of the Year, Top Direct Seller Award, Innovation in Direct Selling, and the Compliance Champion Award β€” recognizing companies that have gone above and beyond in establishing ethical practices. Delegate passes at β‚Ή2,499 include both conference days, all materials, the gala dinner, and exhibition access. Corporate tables for company delegations of 10 are available at β‚Ή20,000. Register before November 3, 2026 to take advantage of early bird pricing and secure accommodation at negotiated conference rates at the adjacent hotels.

Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel, Pune, India

The Real Estate Investment & Brokerage Summit 2026 is a premier one-day conference for real estate investors, property brokers, developers, NRI investors, and financial advisors navigating India's dynamic and increasingly regulated real estate market. Held at the luxurious Sheraton Grand in Pune β€” one of India's fastest growing real estate markets β€” this summit combines market intelligence, regulatory education, investment strategy, and high-quality networking. India's real estate sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation. With RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act) now fully operational across all major states, the era of unaccountable developers and undisclosed project delays is ending. Meanwhile, residential demand is being driven by the largest working-age population in Indian history, rapid urbanization, and changing household preferences post-pandemic toward larger homes, integrated townships, and mixed-use developments. Commercial real estate is seeing a renaissance driven by the return of office occupancy and the explosion of data centers, warehousing, and logistics infrastructure. Summit Agenda Market Intelligence Session (9:30 AM – 11:00 AM): JLL India presents their comprehensive India Real Estate Market Report for Q3 2026. Data-driven analysis covering residential price trends in 12 major cities, commercial absorption rates, NRI investment flows, and emerging micro-markets with highest appreciation potential for 2026-2030. This session alone is worth the cost of the summit pass for any serious investor or broker. RERA Compliance Masterclass (11:15 AM – 12:30 PM): Led by senior RERA advisory lawyers, this session covers the rights and responsibilities of all real estate stakeholders under RERA, how to verify project registrations, handle buyer disputes, understand force majeure clauses in an era of material cost volatility, and the upcoming amendments to RERA that will significantly impact project timelines and broker commissions in 2027. NRI Investment Panel (2:00 PM – 3:15 PM): A special session focused entirely on NRI real estate investment in India. Covers FEMA regulations for property purchase, repatriation of rental income and sale proceeds, power of attorney structures, tax implications under DTAA agreements, and the most popular investment categories among NRIs in 2026 β€” including fractional ownership platforms and REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). Brokerage Business Development Workshop (3:30 PM – 4:45 PM): A practical session for professional real estate brokers covering how to build a sustainable brokerage business in the age of NoBroker and PropTech disruption. Topics include niche specialization strategy, building referral networks with relocation companies and HR departments, using WhatsApp and Instagram for lead generation, structuring referral partnerships with banks and home loan companies, and the economics of building a team of sub-brokers under a franchise model. Developer Showcase (throughout the day): 15 Pune-based and pan-India developers present their upcoming projects to an audience of qualified investors and brokers. Projects range from affordable housing complexes starting at β‚Ή35 Lakh to ultra-luxury villas and commercial office spaces with pre-lease commitments from Fortune 500 tenants. Networking Opportunities The summit features a dedicated investor-broker speed networking session where investors looking for specific property types are matched with brokers specializing in those segments. Attending brokers have collectively transacted β‚Ή850 Crore in property value in the past 12 months β€” making this room one of the most commercially dense networking opportunities in Pune real estate. Summit passes at β‚Ή1,999 include all sessions, developer showcase access, networking lunch, and the JLL Market Report (retail value β‚Ή5,000). Early registration before November 5, 2026 gets you an additional free 30-minute consultation with a RERA lawyer. Limited to 200 participants. Register now to secure your seat at the summit shaping the future of Indian real estate investment.
