WOI India Launches Five Platforms at TechSparks 2026

WOI India launched five platforms at TechSparks 2026 — two venture studios, a sales accelerator, a global investor network and a Founder Card — all connected to its Startup Park ecosystem in Koramangala, Bengaluru.

CEO Amar Dixit led the rollout with a video on the organization's existing initiatives and long-term plans. WOI India is the Indian arm of Dubai-headquartered WOI, a global ecosystem-development company. Its model spans infrastructure, capital, education, venture studios, community and Centres of Excellence. Dixit invited entrepreneurs to visit Startup Park, which gives founders workspace, mentorship and capital, and said more startup parks are in the pipeline.

Who builds alongside the founders?

Mazin Arbaz, Founder of Dayone Venture Studio, framed the platform around a gap: mentors can offer guidance and investors can provide capital, but who helps founders build their businesses?

Dayone operates under WOI, founded by Arbaz with Hashir Usman as CEO. It combines investment with hands-on support from a startup's earliest stages — understanding customers, building brands, setting up systems and making the calls that move a business forward. At TechSparks, Arbaz invited founders with ideas, investors interested in co-building ventures, and professionals who want to work with the studio to get in touch.

How does Perform100X tackle sales?

For Krishnakumar V, Co-founder and CEO of Perform100X, and Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Shanfaz C K M, sales is a challenge startups must address early. Their platform is a sales and marketing accelerator operating as a Centre of Excellence, combining talent, strategy, technology and execution to turn products into customers, revenue and sustainable growth.

It positions itself as an alternative to juggling multiple agencies and disconnected marketing activities. Services include market analysis, data-backed planning, technology-enabled execution and performance dashboards. Its intelligence layer, Analyticsfy, pulls reporting and performance insights into a single dashboard that founders can query through simple WhatsApp commands.

Krishnakumar said the team spent the two days before the launch networking with founders and found sales was one of the biggest challenges startups face after raising investment. Perform100X aims to work as an extension of a startup's team, aligning sales and marketing with valuation criteria and investment plans. Its reporting gives founders visibility into strategy and execution without waiting until month-end, he said.

What is Point Zero targeting?

Arshak N, Founder of Point Zero, introduced a venture studio for early-stage Indian ecommerce brands — founders who often lack the team, direction and capital to get started. Point Zero works alongside entrepreneurs as a co-founder, providing a team, capital, expertise in brand building, product development, growth and operations, and shared playbooks.

Founders can build their own founder-led ventures or lead studio-born brands developed through Point Zero's research. The studio targets brands with products that drive repeat purchases, margins that support growth, and a reason to buy beyond price. It draws mentorship from brand builders including Bharat Sethi of Rage Coffee and Palash Arneja of BlaBliBlu.

Arshak said many ecommerce founders spend their first year building alone, precisely when they need the most support. The studio, launched at TechSparks, has set a target of Rs 1,000 crore in combined portfolio revenue within three years. Applications are open to founders and investors interested in building ecommerce brands.

How does VC Circle connect investors?

Hema Harshini, Business Head at VC Circle by WOI, is building a global network that connects investors, intelligence and opportunities across markets. The platform brings together fund managers, venture funds, family offices, high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors through curated roundtables, demo days, investor-focused reports and ecosystem engagements.

Its first chapter included a roundtable on commercializing India's next space economy, with government and industry participants from NSIL, WICCI, COS and the Space Tech Foundation, alongside investors including C Fund and Ivy Capital. VC Circle also released its first report based on that roundtable, plus a magazine, both available at the TechSparks Startup Park booth. Harshini said the larger goal is a globally connected investor ecosystem combining capital, relationships and intelligence to identify and develop opportunities.

What does the Founder Card unlock?

Arun Das Janadaran, CEO of Startup Park, introduced Founder Card, which connects entrepreneurs at different stages to workspaces, mentorship, learning opportunities, investor networks and other resources. He said successful entrepreneurs need more than ideas — they need people, knowledge and opportunities to turn those ideas into businesses. Founder Card aims to make Startup Park's ecosystem more accessible.

With these launches, WOI India has pulled venture building, sales and marketing support, ecommerce development, investor connections and founder resources into a single ecosystem — and the Rs 1,000 crore target gives it a number to be judged against by 2029.
