Product Camp / @ IIIT, Hyderabad. Mar 28nd

 

Announcing: Hyderabad BarCamp6- a PRODUCTS BARCAMP and WORKSHOP

By Hysea in conjunction with TiE and IIIT-H. March 28, 2008.

 

Hysea in conjunction with Barcamp-Hyderabad, IIIT and TiE is organizing a Product Barcamp and Workshop to showcase the intense product development work happening in Hyderabad- both, among Indian startups/technology companies and at the offshore development centers of MNC product companies.

 

 

The event will be an opportunity for the technology and products fraternity to interact and network as also to highlight the support eco-system available in Hyderabad for new products and startups. Apart from showcasing products being built out of Hyderabad, we will have leaders from Product companies and the VCs/academicians share experiences building IP and products. We will also be compiling and releasing a ‘Hyderabad Software Products Directory’. Below is the early announcement being sent out to our member companies.

 

  • Have a specific showcase of successful products from Hyderabad.
  • CEO Speak- where we have successful Product entrepreneurs/leaders from Hyderabad sharing their experiences and views on specific facets of startups.
  • End with eco-system presentations- VCs, Hysea, TiE, IIIT/ISB, hardware vendors and others that have some support system/offerings for startups.

 

On the whole a comprehensive event that will both highlight the products and successes from Hyderabad (important for someone deciding to venture in) and also talk about the eco-system available. We will have talks from other MNC product dev orgs and established local product companies (like Pramati, SDG, Zustek, FourSoft, Yasu).

How it started

The fifth BarCamp at Hyderabad ended up tremendous! IN keeping with the products and startups spirit, we had asked Hysea (Hyderabad Software companies' association) to talk about their push for IP and products. Suheim Sheikh, Founder of SDG (now part of 3i-infotech), who now heads the Products Initiative at Hysea, came and spoke briefly on Hysea and the Products' push. This was followed by a talk from Prasad Y (Co-founder of Teleonto), also active in startup circles in hyderabad, to share his ecperiences starting up Teleonto.

 

Carried by the momentum, in a sidebar discussion, right there the next barcamp took shape! We decided to conduct a "Products Barcamp"! In conjunction with Hysea & TiE. In the BarCamps most of the active participation is among technology enthusiasts or startups/aspiring-startups. There is a clear emphasis on technology startup ideas. Given this, Suheim suggested if we can build on this and have a barcamp focused just on Products and Startups- a ‘Product Barcamp’. The idea is to continue on from the Product Awards’ nominations.
