Breaking Borders: EU–India Trade & Women-Led Startups
This Masterclass Event explores the growing opportunities between India and Europe, with a focus on the EU–India Free Trade Agreement and what it means in practice for founders, professionals, and businesses. Bringing together South asian founders from ChaiSamosaNetwork building in Berlin alongside operators working directly in import-export between India and the EU, the event offers a grounded perspective on cross-border trade, career growth, and startup journeys. From navigating regulations and logistics to building credibility in a new market, speakers will share real experiences, lessons, and actionable insights for anyone looking to build or operate across these two regions.
