BERTELSMANN
BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP

Bertelsmann Badminton Championship was organised at Bangalore's Prakash Padukone Academy. The much-awaited event featured leading VC firms such as Sequoia, Kalaari Capital, Goldman Sachs, Blume Ventures, Prosus, InnoVen Capital, and many more. BII not only celebrated investor backing in India's start-up ecosystem but also underscored the importance of cultivating community and lasting partnerships in the business world.

An annual event that brings India’s top VC's together for a bit of friendly rivalry and hardcore camaraderie.

To exchange ideas in an informal fashion and celebrate the spirit of the investment community.

An ode to the Investors, of the 3rd largest startup ecosystem in the world.
