A lot has changed since we last visited China in August 2018, hasn’t it?
After merging Musical.ly with TikTok, Bytedance is witnessing its video-based social media product grow faster than any other application, catering to all kinds of demographics. ByteDance’s Helo is beating ShareChat at its game in the Indian vernacular social media’s home turf itself.

And let’s be honest, we all also want to see what China has best to offer infra-structurally, culturally and in terms of landscapes. Bingo! In this second edition of 8 days Unicorn Trip 2.O, there are 2 days that are kept just for you all to enjoy China, along with some other treats here and there.

For Indian startups, there could not be a more favourable time to harp on synergies in China (strategic as well as relating to investments). Meeting successful entrepreneurs from different walks of work-life, learning from their experiences, can help immensely in accelerating the scale of the local startups and benefit the stakeholders.
With this trip, Entrackr intends to provide comprehensive exposure to Indian entrepreneurs, VCs in China and bridge the existing gaps for fostering meaningful and uninterrupted engagements.
