As our local startup community has been growing in vibrancy and ambition, the launch of Startup Grind in Kerala will bring great value to the new entrepreneurs in town. The monthly events will bring together founders, CEOs, innovators, educators, investors, developers, policy makers and experts in various industries to share their wisdom on building great companies.
Thiruvananthapuram is home to many technology companies in Kerala. Through Technopark, we have seen the growth of Kerala-based companies such as IBS, UST Global, SunTec along with Infosys, TCS and global players such as Ernst & Young and Allianz. It is not just big companies but also startups which have found their place in Technopark. Since launching in 2006, KSUM (Kerala Startup Mission) has provided spring boarding to 200+ startups. We also have Startup Village, Ernst & Young Accelerator program and an exclusive incubation program for women entrepreneurs at WBIP. Kerala has an excellent ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship.
Now that we have a little context, lets jazz it up and get the ultimate startup event started!
