Startup Sparks & Code Cracks: Draper in action💪

The Draper Express is your weekly roundup of events, people, programs and moments shaping the Draper community.

Another week, another dose of startup magic at Draper Startup House Hyderabad. Panels, meetups and conversations that remind us why community is the real fuel behind every bold idea.

🚀 From Attendee to Founder: Happenix Launches at Draper

Full-circle moment! One of our regular faces at Draper events, just went from being in the crowd to being on stage - launching his very own app, Happenix. Built with the same spirit of community that Draper stands for, the launch was a proud moment for all of us - proving that when you keep showing up, big things happen!


 Ideas, Intros & energy: eChai Startup Meetup

On Saturday, Aug 16th, Draper Startup House Hyderabad hosted the eChai Startup Meetup - a buzzing evening of founders, operators and startup enthusiasts coming together.

The highlight? A candid conversation with Ayushi Mona Singh (Director, Marketing, Delhivery), who shared sharp insights on early wins, go-to-market challenges, fundraising and what it really takes to scale from the ground up.

The panel was followed by exactly what makes these nights special - open conversations, shared experiences and new connections that felt like the start of big things.


💻 Code, Coffee & Competition: Being Zero Coding Contest
Lines of code, friendly rivalries and a whole lot of brainpower - the Being Zero Coding Contest turned Draper into a coder’s arena. Participants battled it out on-screen, proving that sometimes, the fastest way to bond is over bugs, fixes and a little competitive spirit.

That’s all for this one!

But the energy doesn't stop here. Whether you were part of the moments or just catching up now, we’re glad you’re here.

⭐️Keep showing up, keep building and we’ll see you around the house (or in your inbox next week).
