Disruptors @ TiEcon Delhi 2026
The Next Generation of Companies Worth Watching. Putting up to 10 emerging startups in the spotlight to showcase breakthrough products, technologies, and business models.
Uncovering Promising Companies Before They Become Household Names
The next big companies may not be the ones everyone knows today. They’re the founders solving difficult problems differently, challenging conventional models, and creating new possibilities.
Disruptors @ TiEcon Delhi 2026 puts up to 10 emerging startups in the spotlight—companies with innovative products, breakthrough technologies, or novel business models that are changing the way things work.
4-Minute Stage Spotlight
Selected founders get the stage to share a compelling narrative around four core pillars:
- The Problem: The critical challenge they are solving.
- The Difference: What they’re doing radically differently.
- The Innovation: The core technology or model behind it.
- The Possibility: Why their approach matters to the future.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for early-stage Indian startups that are building something genuinely different. The sector doesn’t matter as much as the idea, the problem, and the innovation.
