Disrupt Asia 2025, Sri Lanka's big startup event, will happen in Colombo from 17-20 September. The event will start a new $50 million fund to help startups and bring together people from many countries to talk about new ideas.
Event Details and Opportunities
The event is set up by Sri Lanka's government and tech groups. It will have talks, shows, and chances to meet new people. Indian startups can use this event to enter Sri Lanka's market. They can share their tech, change their products to fit, and make new friends in areas like education, AI, money tech, and green ideas. The event will also start a new business area to bring in big tech companies from around the world.
India's Role and Key Speakers
India will play a big part in this year's event. Vijay Shekhar Sharma from Paytm will give the main speech. Other big names from India will also speak. The event will show 50 of Sri Lanka's best new companies. These companies work on things like health tech, money tech, and AI. The event wants to make Sri Lanka the main place for new ideas in South Asia. It will help India and Sri Lanka work together more on new tech ideas.
I am happy to see India and Sri Lanka working more on new ideas and tech. Both countries' leaders support this. We are also helping Sri Lankan talent learn from India's tech world.
