Most of the sectoral committees of IAMAI primarily comprise established start-ups. Our primary objective is to nurture start-ups by fostering a positive regulatory environment that supports their growth. We help them scale-up by connecting them with investors and by opening the wide IAMAI network for them. We also run specially designed start-up programmes for them from time to time.

While we do not work on the business development of individual members, through our B2B events we do promote sector-wise businesses. These are mainly four types:

• large business conferences,
• large sectoral conferences,
• focused roundtables on specific tech/business solutions, and
• offsites.

Our key focus in this sphere is to ensure and enable a policy framework for the digital-first industry. Our public policy submissions are based on principles of equity, rationality and proportionality. All common industry-issues such as data protection, safe harbour, equitable access, safe internet and consumer protection are managed by the public policy committee. Specific sectoral issues are addressed by various sectoral councils and committees. In developing a point of view on a public policy/ advocacy issue, we follow a consensus among members affected by the issue.
