About The Event
GrowthConnect Summit - Edition 2
AI Business Growth & Networking Summit, Pune
Real ideas. Real people. Real business.
After Edition 1 filled the room on 19 September 2026, GrowthConnect Summit returns to Pune with its second edition - a focused three-hour morning built for small and growing business owners who want practical growth, not theory.
This is not a seminar where you take notes and forget them by Monday. You will leave with an AI workflow you can use the very next day, a room full of real business connections, and a clear idea of where your next customer or your next rupee of capital can come from.
What`s inside:
A two-part AI keynote and a hands-on live AI training session by M. Mahendraa (Founder, The Corporate Monk Venturez - AI consultant, business growth mentor, and author of The 3C Effect). A dedicated session by IDFC FIRST Bank on business banking, working capital and collateral-free business loans. Short, high-value education slots from industry experts. And a structured Referral Round, where every attendee`s business ask is announced in the room - so you leave with specific people who can actually help you, not a pocket full of forgotten business cards.
All attendees also receive the ASTRA AI Prompt Pack, a guide to 10 free AI tools for business, a digital participation certificate, and the complete keynote slides after the event.
