Kerala Startups on Global Stage
Local Going Global: The Big Leap Every Ambitious Founder Dreams Of
Venu Gopalakrishnan
Venu Gopalakrishnan’s closing session, Kerala Startups on Global Stage, gave the audience a strong finish. As the founder and CEO of Litmus7, he brought international scale and local entrepreneurial insight into one conversation.
He spoke about what it takes for Kerala-born businesses to compete beyond regional markets, including vision, execution, and the willingness to think bigger. The session resonated with founders who are looking to move from strong local performance to broader global relevance.
In his tête-à-tête with Brand Swamy that followed, he narrated how taking a leap of faith – like registering a fancy number for Rs 4.5 million – build his brand that spoke for him before he reached the boardroom.
In narrative terms, his talk was about expansion with identity intact. A good growth story does not lose its roots; it learns how to travel.
