In Gaya, the ancient city of Bihar, a bold new chapter is unfolding in India's event-tech industry. Leading the way is Nitish Kumar, the ambitious young entrepreneur behind Evego Event Private Limited. From its opening in 2024, Evego has not merely tracked trends but established its own beat by integrating innovation, purpose, and local knowledge with a flawless event planning platform.

To Nitish, innovation is not just technology — it's attitude. "Our innovation strategy is customer-focused and data-driven," he says. "We capture ongoing feedback from both vendors and buyers, automate mundane tasks, and leverage technology to enhance the user experience. From real-time vendor matching to personalized event packages, it's all with the user in mind."

That thinking carries over into the future. Nitish envisions AI-driven personalization, virtual planning software, and mobile-first experiences becoming the norm of how people plan events. Evego is already positioning itself to catch up to those trends, so it rides the wave of change rather than responding to it.

Behind the smart design of the platform lies a team that is always learning. "We make sure our team goes to workshops, webinars, and industry conferences. Continuous upskilling and knowledge-sharing help us all grow together," Nitish reveals. It's a culture where flexibility is as important as success, and growth is personal and shared.

Leadership at Evego is grounded in empathy. “The most important leadership lesson I’ve learned is the power of listening,” he reflects. “Whether it’s customers, team members, or stakeholders — listening brings perspective, trust, and better decisions.” This philosophy echoes through the company, guiding decisions from product features to team dynamics.

For young entrepreneurs, particularly in Bihar, Nitish provides real-world advice: "Solve real problems. Begin small, remain relentless, and know your local market. Scale up with tech, and above all — establish trust in your community."

Balancing this ambitious undertaking while being in the third year of his BTech program, Nitish articulates clearly on time management. "We set work timings, remain organized, and find space for family and friends. Balance is not simple, but it's achievable with discipline and the proper routine."

Looking forward, Evego.in intends to become India's number one event planning website in the next five years — with presence in multiple states, a strong vendor base, AI-based personalization, and even international expansion. It's action following vision and already underway.

Asked what Bihar's startup ecosystem needs most, Nitish is direct: "Better access to money and mentorship. Brilliant ideas abound, but support systems don't. A more robust investment network would unlock huge potential in the state."

Evego Event Private Limited is not just a startup — it's a testament of grit, ingenuity, and state pride. With it, Nitish Kumar isn't merely creating a company. He's redefining what it takes to lead from Bihar — with decisiveness, with conviction, and with an eye for the future.
