The programme was chaired by Mr. Atul K.

The discussion focused on strengthening cross-border collaboration in emerging technologies, startup ecosystems, digital infrastructure, access to finance, and policy alignment to unlock innovation-led growth and employment opportunities, particularly in Madhesh Province.
The session was graced by Mr. Devi Sahai Meena (IFS), Consul General of India, Birgunj, as the Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker, along with senior representatives from chambers of commerce, financial institutions, media, and the startup ecosystem.
The dialogue reinforced the need to move beyond traditional cooperation frameworks and build practical, technology-driven partnerships aligned with the aspirations of the next generation of entrepreneurs in India and Nepal.
