https://lnkd.in/gDBvuP_5 We seeded, nurtured and continue to scale our startup centric community platform since 2022. Somebody suggested us to tweek it to startup lifecycle management platform with community management and engagement with timely KPI trackings. We cocreated it with them, eventually more such reputed startup programs / incubators / associations adopted it and today as I write this post, we have become largest technology partner for incubator ecosystem in the country (may be Asia also). Thanks to all the hard work put in by our tech team led by Baltej Singh in making it happen. The onboardings have started and we plan to support 170+ Indian STEPs and Business Incubators Association (ISBA) members under the able and visionary leadership of K Suresh Kumar Dr.Balachandran A Prasad Menon Prasad Shetty This partnership intends to bring world class digital transformation practises to nurture and scale promising #Indian #Startup #Incubators with next gen tools at their fingure tip.
