Tech can improve governance, says Krishna Byre Gowda; Why Indian startups should build for the world from day one

Day 2 of YourStory’s flagship tech-startup summit saw key conversations around deeptech, venture capital, and technology in governance. 

Krishna Byre Gowda, Minister for Greater Bengaluru Development, Government of Karnataka, highlighted technology’s role in improving governance, enhancing transparency, and reducing corruption. He also said technology can help bridge the trust gap between people and the government. 

Highlighting Bengaluru’s economic weight in GCC investments and IT service exports, he urged entrepreneurs and builders to apply their innovation beyond commercial software to real socio-economic challenges. 

“Bengaluru continues to be the centre for dynamism that nurtures talent and is able to be the home for a lot of people who contribute productively to their own lives, the economy, and the services of the country as well as the larger global space,” said Gowda. 

In a panel discussion on deeptech capital, venture capitalists said the deeptech ecosystem is giving rise to new kinds of founders and bold ideas. VCs focused on the deeptech segment believe Indian founders have several differentiated capabilities that can lead to the creation of self-reliant technologies.

The panellists emphasised that deeptech founders must identify niche areas and build solutions around them, as the traditional manner of creating products will no longer work. 

In a fireside chat with Shradha Sharma, Founder & CEO, YourStory and The Bharat Project, Tally’s Managing Director Tejas Goenka and Executive Director Nupur Goenka spoke about how the company has stayed relevant for 40 years. 

Here’s what’s in store for Day 3 , the final day of TechSparks 2026.
