Unconvention|L Pune was held on March 12, 2016. We saw over 120 attendees for the event. We received over 100 applications for the business plan pitch, of whom six finalists presented their plans to an expert jury who selected one winner - Spittle, which is developing point-of-care diagnostics for neonates
