Dr. Sunil Kr Pandey – Moderator of the Panel, while summing –up the panel discussion, said that merely starting-up a new start-up does not guarantee that it will sustain in long run, as any solution propounded is being challenged everyday by many of the competitors who wish to enter in the market every day to create their own space, and thus to sustain in long run, it is very important that one has some feedback mechanism about the solution offered for users perspective and continuously work to fix bugs, if any, improve the features & functionality, addresses the issues left and more importantly does contentious assessment of his/ her creation for any additional value addition. If these things are taken care of, there is always an edge and probably the start-ups can grow & prosper not by taking others together and ensure their prosperity. This would create employment opportunities for others as well and will be a real service to society and nation at large.
