In50hrs<\/strong>, India\u2019s premier idea to prototype event will be held in Trivandrum from May 3rd – 5th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In50hrs is an ‘Idea-to-Prototype\u2019 event where IdeaSmiths, Developers, and Product Designers will join hands to work on ideas that solve real problems and build working prototypes (Minimum Viable Product) over a weekend. The finished prototypes will be demonstrated in the ‘Demo evening’ before peers and a judging panel.<\/p>\n

Delhi hosted two In50hrs in the past. But due to logistical costs and the lack of startup community, they were forced to discontinue Delhi editions.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood news. In50hrs is heading to Trivandrum<\/a>. Not so good news. We are discontinuing our Delhi Edition. Logistical issues with Delhi. It\u2019s a long way from our centre of operations.\u201d- Tweeted Vijay Anand, the founder of In50hrs.<\/p>\n

In50hrs is a boost to startup community and is the first step in bringing a Startup Idea to life. It teaches people how to prototype an idea rather than sitting on their idea, and learn a skill or two along the way. In50hrs provides a platform for the start-ups to connect with entrepreneurs in the community.<\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs frm trivandrum is expressing high hopes. Read what Shameer Thaha (CEO\/Founder DecideQuick) says about\u00a0In50hrs’s entry to the state’s capital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Kerala is witnessing a spark of entrepreneurship with some familiar industry names such as MobMe<\/a>, Innoz etc. When I started DecideQuick<\/a>; a social decision support platform, I was anxious and at the same time excited about starting off in Trivandrum because I knew this was the right time and place to do it so that I could focus on building the product and the company. Over the course of this journey, I came across some promising and budding entrepreneurs who just needed the right platform, mentorship and exposure to launchpad. I’m really excited and looking forward to having In50hrs in Trivandrum. This will be a great opportunity to identify talent, nurture budding entrepreneurs and build up the ecosystem. We need more such events and build Kerala as one of the first destinations choices for entrepreneurs. I’d encourage all those who have a passion to solve a real problem to come forward and participate In50hrs! Who knows, this could be a turning point in your life.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Startup, it all fundamentally comes down to one rule: Try a lot, keep what works, cut off what isn\u2019t working. So we are trying a lot. And hopefully will continue doing more of what and where its working.\u201d – According to the 150Hrs blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In50hrs has done close to 14 editions across four cities \u2013 Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi and Pune.<\/p>\n
