Bundelkhand has long been known for its rich cultural heritage and resilient entrepreneurial spirit. Now, the region is stepping into a bold new chapter of economic transformation.
The Bundelkhand Venture Summit (BVS) 2026 - the first-ever mega business summit and startup expo in Jhansi - marks a historic milestone in Bundelkhand’s startup journey.
Scheduled for 28 February - 1 March 2026 at Urban Haat, Jhansi, this landmark event will bring together 10,000+ attendees, 200+ startup stalls, investors, policymakers, corporates, MSMEs, creators, and ecosystem leaders under one powerful platform.
A New Era for Bundelkhand’s Startup Ecosystem
For years, aspiring entrepreneurs from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities struggled with limited access to investors, mentorship, and national exposure. BVS 2026 changes that narrative.
With structured investor pitching, curated ecosystem panels, and a large-scale exhibition space, Bundelkhand is no longer on the sidelines - it is stepping confidently onto the national startup stage.
This historic summit is powered by a strong coalition of ecosystem leaders:
This collaboration signals a unified vision: building Bundelkhand as an emerging innovation hub.
