The KTES-2019 event held at Shivamogga was based on improvement of skills for students who want to become an entrepreneur, those who want to go for a startup and also suggestions for those who had already started their journey for entrepreneurship. We had the Karnataka tech entrepreneurship summit-2019 for three days where we learnt many new things and got suggestions from experts for our questions.

There were many Entrepreneurs who addressed us by imparting their knowledge about many things. Sri. Samir Kumar is the Managing director, Invent us India Banglore.
