Start-Up Carnival
We've been focused on changing the narrative around #startupculture in the East for a while now and it feels so good when the entire #ecosystem lends it's support and shows up in hordes.


What We Do

Young people in Calcutta are eager to build something new and #MakeCalcuttaRelevantAgain helps them do that. We provide sponsorships to upcoming creators and help them showcase their work with top-notch mentors and industry experts who help them take their creations to the next level.
Our aim is to bring back Calcutta's Glory and not only bring it back but take it to the next level through constant disruption and innovation.
We want to make Calcutta even more relevant, and change its perception of a sleepy city that was the cultural capital to what it actually is; the bustling place full of change-makers shaking up the status quo.

STARTUPS

Our Values
Cultural preservation
Preserving Across All Mediums.
Kolkata is a city with a soul, where tradition and modernity coexist, and where every street has a story to tell.
We believe that Kolkata's cultural heritage is an invaluable asset that must be preserved and celebrated.

Innovation
“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
-Steve Jobs
We encourage and support local entrepreneurs and innovators to create new products, services, and solutions that drive growth and innovation in the city.

Community
Community is not just a group of people, it's a shared identity, a collective purpose, and a shared responsibility.
We prioritize community engagement, working closely with local residents and businesses to create a project that reflects their needs and aspirations.

WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING
I don’t know what lay ahead of us, but here’s to more such dreamers that resolutely say, “LET’s MAKE CALCUTTA RELEVANT AGAIN” and Proudly shout “ #BangaliByabshaKorbe “
-Sayan Chakrobarty, Founder WTF!
Always having each other’s backs and pushing the Kolkata Startup Ecosystem forward with my people. This is where I belong, this is where I’ve always belonged. It took me some time to match my crazies with your crazy but I am glad we are here now. In the next few years (sooner than you think)…we will Make Calcutta Relevant Again.
-Aishwarya Biswas, Founder Auli Lifestyle
"It was an amazing experience at Innovators Over Coffee to meet and network with budding entrepreneurs and get the feeling of emerging spirit of entrepreneurship in the hearts of young Kolkata!"
-Muqtadir, Founder Ezage

![There are some traditions that don’t travel far. They stay rooted in rituals, in memory.
Gomira is one of them.
Practiced by the Koch Rajbongshi community, this mask-making and dance tradition exists across North Bengal — in both North and South Dinajpur — and extends into parts of Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. It has moved across borders, carried by people rather than platforms.
The masks are striking, yes. But what they hold is deeper... stories of protection, belief, fear, and faith.
As more of us begin to notice and share it, the responsibility shifts a little. Not just to admire it, but to understand where it comes from, who sustains it, and why it exists in the first place.

![Bengal showed up at one of the world’s most iconic crossroads to celebrate Poila Boishakh.
With over 10,000 people coming together, it reflects how traditions travel, evolve, and still hold their essence—cutting across religion, country, and profession. Last year, a historic recognition by the New York State Senate proclaimed April 14 as Bengali New Year Day across New York.
A celebration of heritage, identity, and coexistence—far from home, yet deeply rooted.
Shokol ke janaai Shubho Noboborsho. 🌼
