India's first telecom incubator Startup Village in Kerala
Posted on: 16 Apr 2012
Kochi: Kris Gopalakrishnan, who co-founded Infosys as a start up years back to trigger an IT revolution in the country, today hailed India's first telecom incubator Startup Village as a major turning point in the development sector of Kerala.
Inaugurating India's first incubator on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode at Kinfra Hi-tech part Mr Gopalakrishnan, who is also the chief mentor of Startup Village, recalled his early days as a startup and sent an inspiring call to the next generation of entrepreneurs to take their turn now.
He also launched the green initiative called Entrepreneurs Garden which aims to nurture more than 1000 number of trees in the hi-tech park that will groom 1000 startup firms over the next ten years.
Terming the establishment of Startup Village as a milestone, he said many were yet to take note of the transformation happening in Kerala.
Many refused to change their perception about the State even after Kerala made a successful model through its Technopark in Thiruvanthapuram. 'What a startup venture requires is a very conducive atmosphere that will improve confidence and drive in new ideas,' he added.
'Education, innovation and entrepreneurship will create a favourable situation. Nobody has ready formula to success. But there are plenty of successful models before us to emulate. These are very significant as they became successful when many others failed. We should be able create such successful models that will inspire hopes. That is the goal of this Startup Village,' Mr Kris said. (UNI)
