NSRCEL’s impact and effective mentoring: Annual Mentor Meetup

This year’s Annual Mentor Meetup at NSRCEL welcomed more than 60 mentors who continue to shape the journeys of countless start-ups in the ecosystem.

The day began with a welcome address by Dr. Dalhia Mani, Chairperson and faculty of the Entrepreneurship area of IIMB, setting the tone for forward-looking conversations on the path ahead. The sessions also covered NSRCEL’s impact and effective mentoring, all in great dialogue and connection. Mentors remain central to the growth-focused ecosystem that NSRCEL is building – one where entrepreneurs can thrive.

A key part of the 2026 agenda was the panel on Mentorship Across Ecosystems, featuring Raghu Dharmaraju, Balu Masti and Dr. Archana Pillai, moderated by Badri Narayanan.

NSRCEL also hosted an engaging Soap Box session led by Vinod Chandramouli, Dharmender Khanna and Rasesh Shah, exploring current and emerging market and industry trends.
