Pune: In a bid to strengthen Bihar’s growing startup ecosystem, Pune Building Bridging Bihar (PB2Bihar) is set to host an exclusive networking event on February 21, 2025, at Boat Club, Pune. The gathering will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, and professionals to explore business opportunities, foster strategic collaborations, and drive innovation.

PB2Bihar has been instrumental in connecting Bihar’s entrepreneurial talent with broader ecosystems across India. The upcoming networking event builds on previous successful meetups held in Pune (March 10, 2024) and Bangalore (December 8, 2024), further expanding efforts to bridge the gap between Bihar’s emerging business landscape and well-established startup hubs like Pune.

Empowering Startups Through Collaboration

The event will serve as a dynamic platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and partnership-building, offering attendees the opportunity to engage in discussions about Bihar’s evolving business environment and its potential for economic growth.

"This event is an opportunity for entrepreneurs and professionals to exchange ideas, establish valuable connections, and contribute to Bihar’s entrepreneurial progress," said Ravi Bhardwaj, Founder of Startup Legal.

Key Organizers and Institutional Support

The event is being organized by leading institutions that have been actively contributing to Bihar’s startup ecosystem, including Chandragupt Institute of Management Patna (CIMP), TiE Patna, Startup Legal (Startup Advisory Law Firm). Supporting partners include 4Fin (Fintech startup), Bootstrap Ventures (Startup mentoring in Bihar), Organic Sattva (Agritech startup), Kisan Serv (Agritech startup), and Vats Creations (Social Media Partner).

Additionally, the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE)—an initiative by the Government of India aimed at facilitating credit access to micro and small enterprises—along with Kotak Bank’s Startup Banking Branch, has extended its support to this initiative.
