FloPtch is East India’s biggest ever Confluence of new age disruption, under the banner of “Make Calcutta Relevant Again” and co-organised by Freeflow Ventures, Velocity1, Founders Circle and Startup India | Invest India, with Startups, Corporates, Investors, Creators, Enablers and most importantly the Customers joining in for what promises to be the country’s first tryst with the “ComMan Pitches”.
