Networking, Startup & Business Events in Chennai

Chennai's business events reflect what the city makes: cars and components, leather, electronics, healthcare and software. Large conferences and industry summits use the convention halls of the Chennai Trade Centre at Nandambakkam, which include a 4,000-seat hall, and the ballrooms of ITC Grand Chola in Guindy, The Leela Palace at MRC Nagar and the hotels on Anna Salai. The software-as-a-service industry, which counts Zoho and Freshworks among its Chennai-founded companies, has a busy meetup and conference circuit, much of it along the OMR and at the IIT Madras Research Park in Taramani. Chambers of commerce, entrepreneur networks and alumni groups hold regular breakfast meetings, pitch nights and masterclasses. This page lists conferences, summits, networking evenings and founder meetups across Chennai.
