A number of startups not only based out of Hyderabad but, also from other cities have evinced interest in the stall. On average, about 50 persons from different backgrounds visit the stall and many sell their idea by taking up space at it.

Startups with interesting services like online stitching, conducting and hosting birthday parties have gained recognition by showcasing their ideas.
Volunteers at the stall, Suresh and Kamal say that as far as innovative ideas go the sky is the limit but, what is needed is guidance and the stall helps in connecting people through the meetup.com in which Indianstartups.com is an official group.

With chapters in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi startups meet others and share ideas. Suresh himself has a business plan, which he is about to unleash soon. He says, “The meetup.com is a fantastic platform as people with similar problems and aspirations come onboard. There are so many young as well as middle-aged people with brilliant ideas wanting to join the group.”

While startups are availing the opportunity, investors too have shown interest and are keen to help startups.
