My name is Tim Lagerpusch, director of the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) (www.cie-kit.de) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. I got recommended to you through Mr. Jijo Parookkaran of the Indian Consulate in Munich. My colleague Christian Schwarzkopf and I are coming to
Delhi on July 28th – 31st,
Bangalore on August 1st -2nd
Mumbai on August 3rd 2011.
We intend to meet representatives of investing companies, incubators, start-ups and entrepreneurship centers in India for an exchange of ideas and potential form of cooperation. Deal flows, lead & co-investment, internationalization of start-ups, seed financing, start-up cross border cooperation are just a few of the topics we would like to discuss. We are also interested in meeting IT outsourcing partners for our start-ups. We cooperate closely with many funds in Germany such as Earlybird or HTGF.
As an entrepreneur I have founded the CIE as a start-up incubator together with another experienced entrepreneur, currently dealing with over 200 project teams. Our goal is to foster entrepreneurial mindset, increase innovations and especially to help out start-ups to grow and succeed. Embedded in the KIT structure and supported by the German government it is still run like a company, trying to bring the best people together, coach and consult them, in order to increase their chances for a successful company. With a high-profile network of experts, investors and entrepreneurs around the globe and creative supporting services for its teams, the CIE has established itself as a unique and promising platform for start-ups.
We would be very delighted if you could connect us to relevant people that we definitely should meet during our stay.
I would like to setup some ideas and experience exchange with Indescon, too.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and meeting the Indian Entrepreneurship Community.
Anyone of you up for a coffee meeting?

Tim, I got some feedback that you have not been contactable via e-mail/phone.
I am sure you are busy.
Nevertheless, can u please revert to those replying to you?
Folks – please update the community either ways please….
Tim Lagerpusch
Hi Alok,
i am sorry for slow replies.
It was just too much the last 3 days. we had meetings from 9am till 11pm, just internet connection here in the hotel, and bad phone reception with my german and our Indian mobile phone. But I will get back to all folks that contacted me.
Will not be able to meet you all. One day is just too short for that.
Tim
Bests, Tim

Reproduced from the Email :
Dear Tim
I, Aditya, started my Technology firm Tatvam Tech Systems, with an emphasis on Electronic Billing and Payment Processing. We have launched a platform called BillBharo (a hinglish verb which means ‘pay your bill’). We are looking at enabling the Startups, Small and Mediums enterprises for collecting payments electronically. We recently launched our platform and will be ramping up, steadily.
Our offering to these enterprises revolves around allowing the customers and also other businesses to pay them directly via the Bank Accounts, Credit Cards or Debit Cards. We are looking at exploring payments over the Mobile as well as over Social Media.
In this regard, I would love to explore the possibilities Germany would be able to offer, you and your colleague Christian’s insights on the same, and how we can explore working with German firms.
As I am based out of Bombay, I gather you would be here on August 3rd, 2011, the Wednesday.
I am hoping Christian and you would be able to squeeze in some time and chat over a cup of coffee.
I do look forward to hearing from you and in meeting with you. If however, we are unable to meet due to your packed schedule, I would hope that we establish contact via email subsequently.
Regards and Thanks,
Aditya Babbar
