India & Australia - The Ties That Bind
The India-Australia relationship is an interesting one, both were erstwhile British Colonies and both often go toe-to-toe on the cricket field with a legendary rivalry spanning decades. Urban India is crazy about Masterchef Australia and follows the show religiously, thereby celebrating another common interest in food! But, beyond the obvious cultural exchanges, there is something more concrete that is developing between the two nations when it comes to bilateral ties.
Just last year, the Australia India Business Exchange (AIB-X) was held, which was one of the largest trade missions to India in the past five years. This was followed by the historic virtual summit between the Australian and Indian prime ministers in June, which led to the elevation of the bilateral relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Australia has participated in the Malabar exercises while coming together with India again for the Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (Australia, India, and Japan) and the Quad grouping (United States, India, Japan, and Australia). While the signing of a free trade agreement between the two countries has not transpired, in the future this might also materialize. The Ministry of External Affairs also now has a dedicated division looking into Oceania which includes Australia, ASEAN countries, and other Indo-Pacific regions. The overwhelming evidence goes to show that in the years to come the Australia-India relationship will become a deeper and more significant one not just strategically but economically as well.
India and Australia have yet another commonality that we are yet to touch upon - a thriving startup ecosystem. While India has been adding unicorn after unicorn to its kitty, Australia has been working towards going up the ranks in the Ease of Doing Business index where it ranks in the top 10. While the two countries are yet to collaborate at a national level when it comes to the startup ecosystem, Mumbai Angels Network, the premier platform for new venture investing and leading global accelerator inQ, are joining hands to showcase 6 Australian startups on 22nd May to the Indian investor and entrepreneur for investment and partnership opportunities.
We hope to have you join us for this exciting event that celebrates this confluence of the startup ecosystem and the burgeoning relationship between the two nations! To register, simply RSVP at at this link: http://bit.ly/MA_AUS

In a Covid-affected World, Healthtech and Edtech drive Growth and Innovation
As we countdown the days to MA Global Platforms Presents Australia, we are happy to announce that the startups that will be presenting on the 22nd will be from a variety of sectors including Healthtech, EdTech, Digital Media and more!
When it comes to the pandemic, it can be said that healthcare and education have in many ways been affected the most. If there is anything this pandemic has helped us realise - it is the true value of healthcare. Healthcare has become a sector that is no longer confined to hospitals and clinics, but has become a vibrant space in the startup ecosystem, wherein entrepreneurs are taking it upon themselves to devise path-breaking solutions, revolutionizing the way we look at health and well-being. The marriage of healthcare and technology or ‘healthtech’ as it is now known is driving not just innovation but is playing a key role in improving human life, in general. With the use of artificial intelligence, start-of-the-art sensors, blockchain technology and more, healthtech is growing at breakneck speed, having raised $8.3 billion in funding just last year! It is estimated that the enterprise healthtech industry will grow to $1.3 trillion by 2025.
Before the pandemic, many sat on the fence about studying from home and while the facility existed, many chose to stick to more conventional forms of education involving classroom teaching at physical venues. However, a year into the pandemic, online education has allowed millions of students from all over the world to continue learning. It has also given professionals the opportunity to continue to sharpen their skills by taking a variety of online courses. In lieu of this, the global edtech market is set to reach $404 Billion by 2025, growing at an estimated 16.3% CAGR. These forecasts suggest that the world is placing more faith in EdTech and this area is about to explode with more possibilities than ever before.
As spaces to invest, Healthtech and Edtech are promising by the looks of it as their future looks immensely bright. We hope that you will tune in on 22nd May to witness Australian startups from Healthtech and Edtech, among others take centre-stage as they pitch for investment and partnership opportunities!
