IIT-B’s Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE) in Mumbai and Global Venture Alliance (GVA) in Moscow are partnering to run a bilateral entrepreneur exchange program, entitled India Russia Bridge for Innovations (IRBI). In the second half of September this year, a cohort of ten innovative startups from across India will participate in a 2-week accelerator program in Moscow that will include educational, practical, networking and cultural components aiming to facilitate a structured introduction into the Russian market.

The program is the first initiative between India and Russia with a focus on science and technology based entrepreneurship. The entire program is fully sponsored and supported by the Government of India’s Department of Science and Technology (DST), and the GVA in anticipation that partnerships and collaborations forged in course of IRBI, will not only lay foundations for increased bilateral trade across the nations, but also further goals of key national initiatives like Start-Up India, Make-in-India and Digital India.

The selected startups are in areas of medical devices and applications, energy, IoT, Ed-tech and Retail Tech. The startups have been identified on the basis of scalability, and with the inputs from GVA for potential of immediate partnership with businesses in Russia. The expected outcome of the program is for the entrepreneurs to acquire knowledge from experts in Russia in order to find partners, clients and test their products in local market through a collaborative ecosystem. There is also a potential to pioneer new cross border partnerships and collaborative programs between the two countries.

Blogging is something that I started couple of years many years back in 2004 and this blog was hosted on blogspot. Many of my readers, friends, colleagues share the question with me – What was the real motivation for starting a blog? There was no real answer in 2004~2005 since I was following the herd of early-stage bloggers and wanted to be counted in one of them 🙂 But over a period of time blogging transformed from hobby to passion and when you are passionate about something, you do it diligently and results would automatically come out!

Image Source – LinkedIn

It helped change my entire personality, my observation skills, reading habits and countless number of things.

After hitting the 5 million downloads milestone, the Android app (link) has gone local to make money management technology accessible for everyone & make India financially fit on the whole.

With countless expenses this festive season, new and existing users can now manage their finances in their preferred language. The tech-savvy English-speaking users constitute only 2% of India’s population and majority of the population is still comfortable with embracing technology in their local language. This demographic has taken a digital leap with the advent of smartphones but the advances of fin-tech have not fully reached them. Money View wants to make money management simpler for this under-served market.

Speaking about the app update, Money View’s Co-Founder, Sanjay Aggarwal said

When we got a feedback call from a user in Rajasthan who said he was more comfortable conversing in Hindi, we realized that if we cannot speak our user’s language, we cannot fully solve their problem. The entrepreneur, the IT professional, courier delivery man or your neighbourhood kirana store owner – we want to empower each one of these users to have a deeper control of their finances.

If the app-economy is here to stay, it calls for insight-based approach to product. That is exactly what we have tried to achieve with this latest update and we made it a point that it went live just in time for festive budgeting

With 6 local languages, Money View app helps a user to Manage, Save and Grow your money with features like Automatic expense tracking, Bill payment reminders, Smart budgeting and easy Mutual fund investing.

Continuing its vision to create a sustainable ecosystem of innovation in the country, Intel India has announced the Intel & DST Innovate for Digital India Challenge 2.0, building off the success of the inaugural Challenge last year. Presented in collaboration with MyGov, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeITY) and T-Hub Foundation, this year’s Challenge also aims to inspire grassroots innovation and harness local talent, by inviting makers across India to build solutions to accelerate India’s digitization and commercially develop their prototypes on Intel Architecture.

Based on the philosophy of Challenging India’s Challenges, this initiative adds to Intel India’s larger goal of enabling technology innovation in the country, for students, entrepreneurs, and any other makers, who are passionate about creating viable solutions to address everyday problems, related to sustainable access to healthcare, livelihood, and finance, faced by citizens.

On the sideline of this announcement, Mr. K. T Rama Rao, Minister of Information Technology, Government of Telangana said

It is heartening to see public private collaborations, such as the one between Intel India, MeITY, MyGov and T-Hub, driven towards building a long-term innovation culture in the nation. I am certain that this initiative will bring some breakthrough ideas and ingenious innovations to the table, and strengthen India’s position as a knowledge economy.

Ms. Debjani Ghosh, Managing Director, and Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Intel South Asia said

Innovation is the key ingredient for making the Digital India vision a reality, and we need a local, sustainable innovation ecosystem, to address the country’s challenges. Our goal is to foster innovation at every level-from school to colleges & from entrepreneurs to enterprises. With this announcement today, we continue to create a community of makers who build solutions to enable the scalability of technology adoption in India, and increase the impact of technology on citizens’ lives. Through strong public private collaboration, wherein MeITY, MyGov, T-Hub and Intel India are working together to turn ideas to solutions, disruptive yet sustainable technology innovations are now a reality.

Intel India has an end to end approach to advancing innovation & research. The company has created a strong innovation pipeline and ecosystem, based on public private collaboration that target K-12, researchers, and makers and provide them with not just funding, but also with consistent mentoring and market access.

Through its recent collaboration with think tank NITI Aayog, Intel India is working to establish tinkering laboratories for mini makers in ten schools across the country. Better known as Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs), these facilities will serve as an exemplar for 490 ATLs to be launched by the government.

In another recent project, Intel collaborated with Department of Science & Technology (DST) of Government of India and Society for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (SINE), IIT Bombay to set up a new collaborative incubation program called Plugin, to support hardware and systems-based start-ups. In addition, through the Intel Tech Challenge, the company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development, has trained 10,000 children on ideation and maker skills.

According to Mr. H.K. Mittal, Member Secretary, National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), Department of Science & Technology

Over the years, we have worked with Intel India to establish initiatives for the youth and professionals that give them access to technology and funding, in order to develop sustainable solutions that address challenges faced by Indian citizens. The Challenge is a model example of how great minds can come together and add value to India’s growth charter. It is with great optimism that we launch the next edition of the Challenge to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship in India.

The Challenge encourages the creation of easy to use, and scalable solutions to address the challenges of the country through automation and technology. It invites solutions that integrate IoT and Cloud technology to enable digital transformation experiences in the areas of agriculture innovation, healthcare access, financial inclusion, and sustainability. It is open to aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, innovators, academia, designers, engineers and makers from diverse backgrounds.

Mr. Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, MyGov said

Last year, there were six ideas under the Challenge that completed the mind-to-market journey, and are already making their solutions available in the Indian healthcare and agriculture sectors.  We are proud to support the Challenge this year, by connecting the government with entrepreneurs and innovators on our platform.

This year, the Challenge will roll-out in five phases, with the grand finale taking place in April 2017. Shortlisted teams will be eligible to receive a INR 3,00,000 grant each, to create minimum-viable products (MVPs) based on Intel Architecture in an accelerator program at the T-Hub incubator in Hyderabad. The winning team will walk away with INR 20,000,00 to further their project development.

Jay Krishnan, CEO, T-Hub Foundation said

Startup ecosystems, world over have had a catalyst that has sparked their growth. In Hyderabad, T-Hub is pushing this with platforms that showcase and scale innovation as the primary lynch-pin. T-Hub’s partnership with DST & Intel to launch the Challenge this year, and provide a platform for aspiring innovators to showcase their ideas for building a Digital India from the grassroots level is a key cog and a start for us.

Besides the Challenge, Intel India is also accelerating hardware design & innovation through the Intel India Maker Lab. In fact, from last year’s Challenge, seven of the top 20 participants, including the three winners, used the Maker Lab to develop and test their prototypes. Currently, there are 17 startups utilizing the lab facilities for projects in the areas of education, sports, health, agriculture, BFSI and e-governance across IOT, Cloud and client compute.

DigitalOcean, the cloud for developers announced Hatch, a global incubator program designed to support the next generation of startups as they launch and scale. The program provides startups with access to DigitalOcean’s cloud for 12 months so they can focus on building their businesses and not worry about their infrastructure. The program also provides startups with free technical training, mentorship, priority support, and an opportunity to connect with other startups, accelerators, and investors.

Ben Uretsky, Co-founder and CEO of DigitalOcean said

Use of the cloud has significantly decreased the capital required to start a business, yet still remains one of the largest expenses founding teams face in the early days. We got started as part of the Techstars accelerator program so we understand, firsthand, the challenges and what it takes to launch and scale a company. That’s why we are supporting the next generation of startups in getting their products off the ground.

Hatch is an expansion of DigitalOcean’s established partnership ecosystem with several of the top accelerators, including Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Startups and NASSCOM 10K. Over the past few years, DigitalOcean has powered the applications and production workloads for more than 800 startups that are part of these accelerator programs by offering support and infrastructure credits.

DigitalOcean will be piloting Hatch through their accelerator and investor partnership network and will on-board a larger group of bootstrapped and funded startups around the world later this year.

Rajat Tandon, Vice President at NASSCOM said

A program like Hatch will be of great help to the startups in this space. Not only does the cloud result in cost savings but it is a revolution that is defining the modern IT antics. Many SAAS companies face scaling issues due to lack of support and mentorships. Startups in this segment are emerging like how! Hatch would be their go-to support which will help them scale up fast efficiently and effectively.

Investor Andreessen Horowitz’s Partner Frank Chen said

Early in their lives, startups need to focus 100% on building a product that customers love rather than on keeping the service up and running. With access to programs like Hatch, startups can focus on running experiments on their way to product-market fit and entrust the infrastructure to DigitalOcean.

Startup GitLab’s Co-Founder & CEO Sid Sijbrandij said

Agile processes are especially important to a new startup looking to get a product out the door and to start collecting feedback on it. While Continuous Integration (CI) is necessary, it can be costly. This past April, we partnered with DigitalOcean to help make CI faster and more affordable. In just six months, GitLab.com users have leveraged DigitalOcean Droplets to execute over 1.1 million builds. The launch of Hatch will be yet another great resource for new and growing teams. It’s great to see DigitalOcean focused on supporting startups and we’re excited to see the amazing companies and products that come out of Hatch.

DigitalOcean’s investment in community programs has been a cornerstone of the company’s success. The Hatch program is another example of the company’s focus on ensuring developers and high-growth startups can seamlessly launch, scale, and manage any size application.

Mindtree and Conversable have announced a partnership that will enable brands to deliver improved customer service and open better paths to ecommerce by creating on-demand customer conversations via automated chat bot technology. Through the use of enterprise chat bots, customers receive a faster response from brands and more relevant, contextual conversations. Rather than finding and downloading apps and searching on websites, consumers can simply message their request to a company or organization, fostering quick resolution with no wait times or calls into a call center.

Mindtree is a leading digital transformation and technology services company. Conversable is an enterprise conversation platform for creating intelligent, on-demand, automated response flows through one-to-one conversations in any messaging channel. The partnership combines Mindtree’s industry-leading digital transformation consulting services and data integration capabilities with Conversable’s groundbreaking chat bot enterprise platform.

The Conversable SaaS-based platform re-imagines user experiences and brand engagement through messaging. Conversable is also the first social enterprise solution to create intelligent, on-demand customer response flows using chat bot technology. The intuitive interface allows fast deployment of conversational experiences through the messaging platforms and voice applications that are relevant to a brand’s customers. This includes Facebook, Twitter, SMS, Amazon Echo, Slack, Kik and more.

Many enterprise chat bot solutions can be unresponsive or lead to erroneous interactions. In an effort to solve these challenges, Conversable will leverage Mindtree’s in-depth digital knowledge and domain expertise to standardize back-end systems integration. Through Mindtree’s development and implementation of cost-effective API strategies, the partnership reduces the friction of adding ecommerce functionalities to existing systems and enable more intelligent messaging.

Paul Gottsegen, Chief Marketing and Strategy officer at Mindtree said

Companies seeking a competitive edge in today’s era of conversational commerce must implement modern communication technologies that deliver brand-defining, transparent customer experiences. Conversable is at the forefront of this revolution to transform the way Global 2000 brands interact with their customers.

Ben Lamm, Co-Founder and CEO at Conversable said

Without an integrated back-end, enterprise chat bots are just basic bots which won’t meet customers’ expectations or drive meaningful business impact to a brand. Mindtree and Conversable align perfectly on this point of view, which makes this great partnership. Together, we will empower brands to reach their full potential and better understand their customers through conversational engagement.
