TIE GLOBAL INDIA is a Wet Market

Okay, so I thought I had the privilege to visit Tie Global Summit in Bangalore. What I had in mind was "Damn, I am gonna see so many disruptive start-ups, meet founders who are all about the startup life, interesting people".

Guess what? To my surprise most of the companies there are just pure "Idk what am I even doing here". The whole place is filled with services firms trying to sell you something, I have noticed alot of people approaching start-ups excited to learn about them and towards the end they are like "Here is my card, we provide XYZ services and tbh I love your company and would love to help you guys out". Like, bruh.

Tbh I firmly believe these so called VIP/Family office squad in TGS are just paid actors appointed by TIE Global to motivate the retarded startups that come to TGS.

Most of the startups there are just pure bs with no PMF whatsoever, founders don't even know what they are doing and just a earful of "I am a lite version of Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Kunal Shah, Ashneer Grover, Brian Chesky", I think TGS is just a propoganda led event by large services companies to gather idiot startup clients. Wdyt?

Anyway, although high profile VC firms like Kaalari and so on come to TGS, it is a shit show wet market. Correct me if I am wrong, I did not even go 20% into the reality of what I saw.

2 days wasted in a wanna be innovation expo wet market filled with useless connections who are of no help whatsoever, useless start-ups, useless 25k investors with the family office tags.

Sub, what do you guys think? Because everyone treats it like some auto expo 2050 or so.
