The Belagavi Technology Companies Association (BeTCA) is set to host the fourth edition of its annual Belagavi Tech Meet on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 4:00 PM at the Presidency Club, Belagavi.
This year’s theme, “Tech for Human Impact,” reflects a growing belief that transformative innovation is no longer confined to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, or other metro cities—it is equally thriving in tier-2 hubs like Belagavi.
Over the past few years, Belagavi has steadily emerged as a “Beyond Bengaluru” innovation cluster, with homegrown startups, corporate leaders, and technologists working on solutions that span deep tech, biotechnology, construction, and even pet care. BeTCA’s Tech Meet has become a rallying point for this ecosystem—providing a platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and growth.
Panel Highlights
- Panel 1: “Inventing the Future: How Founders Are Building Life-Changing DeepTech Products”
Features Kawal Arora (Founder, Desi LLM) and Akash Kulgod (Founder, Dognosis), two founders building futuristic solutions rooted in deep technology. - Panel 2: “From Tier-2 to Global: Shared Learnings of Corporate Leaders and Entrepreneurs”
Will feature industry leaders including Leena Padihari (Alfanzyme Life Science), Shekhar Gaonkar (PetCart), Pranav Sharma (Felicity Adobe), and Allahbaksh (Infosys Hubli). The session will be moderated by Aadil Bandukwala (VP, Hackerrank).
BeTCA spokespersons highlight that innovation in Belagavi is not limited to conventional tech companies. From biotech labs in Udyambag to digital design firms in Tilakwadi, from construction tech ventures to AI startups, the city is producing ideas that can scale globally while creating a meaningful human impact.
Why It Matters for Belagavi
The Tech Meet is more than just a conference—it is a statement of Belagavi’s potential as a technology and innovation hub. For entrepreneurs, it provides visibility and networking. For corporations, it provides insights into new talent and potential partnerships. And for the city as a whole, it strengthens Belagavi’s positioning as a serious player in Karnataka’s Beyond Bengaluru growth story.
The event will also see special launches from BeTCA member companies, underlining how local firms are contributing to the larger innovation narrative.
