Countdown
Launch clock, India time
The timer uses the scheduled Asia/Kolkata event time and will move to an event-under-way state after the start.
Event-grade boundary: Demo Day is scheduled, not an outcome archive. No founder names, investor attendance, press coverage, replay permanence, or venture metrics are claimed before they are public and consented.
