Taking global innovation opportunities closer to India’s emerging founders! As part of My Startup Yatra, My Startup TV, in collaboration with Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (MRV), brought the Founders Mixer: Mangaluru to the city on 19 August 2026, creating a focused platform for startups, founders, investors and innovators to connect, pitch and explore new opportunities. The session brought together the startup ecosystem to explore investor networking, startup pitching and live media exposure, while also connecting founders with the £6.25M Wellcome Snakebite Innovation Challenge and its global grant opportunity. From AI, diagnostics and digital health to emergency transport, logistics, healthcare and DeepTech, the event opened conversations around building solutions for high-impact global challenges. A special thanks to our partners for supporting the Mangaluru edition and helping us bring founders closer to investors, media and global innovation opportunities.
