About
A startup safari, not a conference
Startup Safari is where young founders go out into the wild: meet investors, customers and each other, and come back with deals, hires and a sharper plan.
- 19–20 December 2026
- The Leela, New Delhi
Why we do this
Great startups are being built everywhere. Access still isn’t.
Startup Safari brings founders, investors, operators and students under one roof in New Delhi. Walk the exhibition floor, pitch to investors, learn from people who have built before you, and leave with conversations that turn into deals.
We started in Patna because some of India’s most determined founders are building far from the usual startup hubs. Startup Safari puts them in the same room as the investors, operators and buyers who can change their trajectory, and keeps the format practical: fewer speeches, more meetings.
- 01
Built by founders, for founders
Every session is chosen by asking one question: will a founder use this on Monday?
- 02
Local × global
Local builders meet national investors and global operators, on equal footing.
- 03
Floor first
The expo floor is the heart of the event. The stage exists to send people back to it.
