What You'll Walk Away With

Pitch your project to investors and VCs
Government schemes and risk funding for MSMEs
AI and semiconductor opportunities for manufacturers
The Governor, two ministers and IIT Madras’ Director on stage
Launch of the HEF Chennai Women’s Chapter
A new HEF chapter for your district

On 11 July, HEF launches a chapter in 25 districts across Tamil Nadu, anchored in Chennai. Each one is a local circle of business owners you can actually reach - people who share leads, answer your questions, and open doors in your own city.

What Happens After 11th July

The conference is day one. What you build after - across 25 districts - is the movement.

About HEF Tamil Nadu

HEF is a community of business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals - part of the World Hindu Economic Forum, one of the largest Hindu business networks in the world.
Every chapter is a local circle where members trade leads, learn from peers, and reach resources they wouldn't find working alone.
The belief is simple: when businesses grow, communities prosper.
In Tamil Nadu, that network now spans 25 districts, anchored by Chennai and built for business owners across the state.
