EP295: How do startups successfully scale after winning the SiGMA Startup Pitch?

At SiGMA South Asia 2025 in Sri Lanka, the fireside chat titled The Winner’s Circle: Scaling After the Pitch brought together Moderator Jenny Ortiz-Bolivar, Asia Lead Senior Journalist at SiGMA Group, and Yash Gupta, Founder & Director of Credexon, to discuss what truly happens after the startup spotlight fades. Drawing from his experience competing in the SiGMA Startup Pitch, Yash shares how judge feedback accelerated a major business pivot, the realities of scaling in heavily regulated markets and the leadership lessons learned while building a team through uncertainty. The conversation explores innovation in fantasy sports, AI-driven retention and fraud detection, blockchain use cases, regional challenges across Asia, Africa, and LATAM, and why founders should “pitch to learn, not to win.”Connect with the iGaming community: https://linktr.ee/sigmaworld
