Rajasthan (India), April 1: TiE Rajasthan announced Dr. Sheenu Jhawar as its new President for two year term 2023-2025. She is the first woman in the 21 years history of TiE Rajasthan to assume this responsibility. Dr. Jhawar took charge from Dr. Ravi Modani who was successfully leading the chapter since 2021.
During the biennial leadership transition ceremony, Dr. Jhawar informed that India has the third largest number of unicorns in the world, and within India – Jaipur stands as the first tier 2 city, at an overall 7th position as per Start up Blink report. This is a matter of great pride for all of us. TiE Rajasthan has been contributing to this ecosystem since the last 21 years. Our Past Presidents- Mahavir Sharma, Atul Kapur, Dr. Ajay Data, Manuj Goyal, Rajneesh Bhandari, Rajesh Mundra, Siddharth Agarwal, Chirag Patel, and Dr. Ravi Modani have made a great visible impact. She also introduced her core committee members Anil Agarwal, Archana Surana, Ashish Mangal, Nishant Patni, Parijat Agarwal, Puneet Mittal, Raj Bagri, Rajeev Lakhotia, Sanjay Yadav, Sharvik Shah, Siddharth Shah, Vijay Khemka, and Vikram Ahuja who will help her with her new responsibilities.
As I take over as President for the next two years, I plan to carry on this legacy by more focus on the startups, and work with other ecosystem partners, added Dr. Jhawar.
Dr. Jhawar further informed that as of November 2022, the country with the third most Unicorns in the world is India. The more compelling news is that we added more unicorns in 2022 to the world after USA, making us the second most powerful Start up ecosystem in the world. But even that is no reason to celebrate. What is truly amazing, is that of the 23 unicorns added in year 2022, 9 have emerged from outside of the three top metro cities. The startup landscape has shifted substantially, with many investors raising their largest ever India-focused funds. And interestingly Bangalore- Karnataka today is no longer the only game in town. As ranked by Start up Blink, Jaipur is the 7th and the first tier 2 city, amongst the top cities for Start-ups in India.
