New Delhi (VNA) – A delegation of 15 Vietnamese enterprises, led by the National Startup Association, is participating in India’s Startup Mahakumbh 2025.

Organised by the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the three-day event, the world's largest starup fair, kicked off on April 3 at the Bharat Mandapam Exhibition and Convention Centre in New Delhi.

It brings together over 3,000 startups, 1,000 investors and incubators, and more than 10,000 delegates from over 50 countries, offering startups opportunities for funding, networking, and global connections.

According to Vietnamese Trade Counsellor in India Bui Trung Thuong, Vietnamese enterprises are showcasing innovations in agriculture, science and technology, tourism, and education. Notably, Vietnam’s technological products have proved attractive to India, with some innovations considered superior.

Vietnam's first-ever participation in Startup Mahakumbh aligns with the Politburo's Resolution 57 on promoting innovation, digital transformation, and entrepreneurship. The event is expected to help Vietnamese firms learn startup and digital transformation initatives from India and other countries, access innovation experiences of leading global enterprises, and introduce their startup products to the world.

A standout Vietnamese product at the event is Xintel, a travel-focused social network app by LNP Solution. Xintel offers unique features, including unlimited online meeting, free e-SIMs usable in 195 countries, and AI-powered translation. The company also introduces Educhain, an education-focused social network app.

Nguyen Hoai Vi, business development director at LNP Solution, emphasised the company’s goal of introducing wholly-made-in-Vietnam technology to India, a major tech hub. She expressed confidence that if Xintel and Educhain succeed in India, they can expand to global markets./.
