Mr. Vinod Kumar, MD & CEO- 365体育投注 Media Networks Limited and Dr. Santosha Rao, Assistant General Manager, 365体育投注 University Technology Business Incubator, MAHE.
The goal of Namma Sante was to enable local, small-scale entrepreneurs and small businesses to generate awareness about their businesses among members of the local community.

The stall vendors, full of vigor and enthusiasm showcased curated products ranging from organic foods, pottery, handmade accessories and bags, wooden toys, sustainable outerwear, artwork, crochet-based products, decor, furniture amongst other things. The open space, and the inviting environment nestled in the heart of ?MIC was in tune with the core idea of Namma Sante. From the use of old plastic bottles to discarded cardboard boxes, the essence of sustainability and environmentally sound creations were employed.
The event was a resounding success and witnessed a footfall of approximately 4000 people (an astounding number for an event that marked its first edition). Visitors who walked in had a plethora of stall options to choose and shop from. Every vendor left with a smile on their faces and had immense appreciation for the event and its organizers.?
