Professor
I have established and managed several initiatives and programs that support start-up creation and growth, such as the BITS Goa Innovation Incubation & Entrepreneurship Society (BGIIES), the BITS BIRAC BioNEST, the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme, and the Idea to Start-up course. I have supported over 100 start-ups to receive funding, mentoring, incubation, and/or networking opportunities, and have created a pool of mentors and speakers from the BITS alumni network and the Indian start-up ecosystem. I have set up tech focused incubators and attracted startups from across the country , with young innovators and reputed scientists.
Establishing: Two incubators (TIDE 2013 and BioNEST 2017-recognised as in top 10 bio incubators in India by Biospectrum) a fund of Rs 3.15 cr (SISFS 2022), the incubation Society (BGIIES 2020). Last but with the biggest reach, running the flagship New Venture Creation (NVC) course across our four campuses since 2012 with pro bono support of alumni from across the world. As speakers, evaluators and mentors. And sometimes as investors.
