Now what is TiECon ??
Let me tell you what is TiE first. A whole lot of what TiE does can be summarized in this Gujarati statement by Raj Jaswa "આપ્યુ તે રહ્યુ , રહ્યુ તે ગયુ" . Pronounced as "aapyu te rahyu, rahyu te gayu", translated in English as "What you give, you keep and what you keep, you lose" . Which means the philosophy of TiE is to give and share freely and help people network because it is by this giving only that you gain more. Ofcourse TiE is much more than that. Raj Jaswa voluntarily serves as President of TiE, and he has been serving since 4 years now.
What is TiE?
Ans:- TiE stands for "The Indus Entrepreneurs" . TiE is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1992 by successful entrepreneurs, corporate executives and senior professionals with roots in Indus region.
What does TiE do?
Ans:- TiE helps enthusiastic and prospective entrepreneurs gear up to what they feel they can achieve or even much more than that.

In this process many people even get a good jump in their professional careers and some even have their personal life filled up with positive vibes.
How does TiE achieve its goal of helping people being real Entrepreneurs?
Ans:- TiE members and volnteers are themselves successful entrepreneurs and senior corporate executives with a zeal to help people realize their dream of becoming entrepreneurs. The culture of TiE is to freely share, network and help fellow members and volunteers. TiE organizes formal mentoring sessions, lectures from industry stalwarts, CEO of companies, and people who have actually made marks in their own fields inspite of starting from humble beginnings. The clout of TiE can be measured to the extent that Global Management Guru Dr.C.K.Prahlad considers it as a matter of pride to be associated with TiE (mms://209.220.161.72/SiliconValley/CKs_speech_edited.wmv).
Alrite, now what is TiECon?
