Unconferences have now caught the imagination of masses. The Barcamps, blogcamps, Mobile Monday’s, startup lunches, ideacamps and such other events have been hugely successful. The informal atmosphere in these unconferences are real boon for upcoming entrepreneurs.

Hi Arun,
Thanks for spreading the word on Startup Saturday.
Startup Saturday will continue to be in Saturday. There were a lot of folks sitting on fence still undecided about taking a plunge into entrepreneurship. So, we at KickStart decided to do an event specially focussed for those folks. Since the expected audience was huge and required auditorium to be free, we decided to have it on Sunday – hence the Special Startup Saturday on a Sunday ;-). Hope it clarifies.
BTW, we are planning to host Startup Saturday in Pune. It would be great if you could help us out. We have already started out at Mumbai and Hyderabad. Delhi chapter is starting out soon. If you could mail me your contact number, I can have a brief chat on the same.
Thanks
