Startup Saturday @MIJ is a founder-first community initiative by Made in JIS (MIJ). Designed for student founders and early-stage startups, Startup Saturday is a weekly, discussion-led platform that focuses on honest conversations around building, execution, branding, fundraising, and growth. Unlike traditional seminars or panel events, the format emphasizes real-world insights, interactive dialogue, and peer engagement. Each edition features experienced founders, operators, or ecosystem leaders who share practical lessons from their journeys.

The objective is to engage founders early, strengthen fundamentals, and build a consistent startup community within Eastern India. Startup Saturday operates out of MIJ’s incubation space at Austin Tower, Newtown, and continues to grow as a long-term platform for founder learning and ecosystem development.
