<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 28 : Azent Overseas Education, one of India’s leading study abroad platforms, is set to host a UK Admissions Day on October 29, 2025, at its Hyderabad Center. The event will bring together representatives from renowned UK universities — Ulster University Belfast, University of Wolverhampton, Edinburgh Napier University, and St. Mary’s University, London and more— offering aspiring students an exclusive opportunity to explore study options, understand admission requirements, and secure offers for the January 2026 intake.“At Azent, our mission is to make overseas education more accessible, transparent, and personalized for every student. The UK Admissions Day in Hyderabad reflects our commitment to empowering students with first-hand information and real interactions with university experts. This event not only supports students in securing admissions for the upcoming intake but also deepens our engagement with our partner universities and the parent community.” said Priyanka Nishar, Founder and Managing Director of Azent Overseas Education.The UK Admissions Day is part of Azent’s continued effort to simplify and streamline the overseas education journey for Indian students. This event aims to provide students and parents with direct access to university representatives, enabling them to receive on-the-spot guidance, application support, and clarity on scholarships, eligibility criteria, and visa processes.The event will also serve as a dynamic platform for student-university engagement, allowing candidates to understand academic programs, post-study work opportunities, and the overall student experience in the UK. Each of the participating institutions brings a strong academic reputation and a distinctive portfolio of courses that continue to attract Indian students seeking high-quality education and global career prospects.The recent high-profile visit of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to India, accompanied by a 125-member delegation of university Vice Chancellors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and cultural representatives, marks a defining moment in the India–UK strategic partnership. The discussions around the forthcoming Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signal a renewed era of collaboration — unlocking vast opportunities across education, business, innovation, and investment. Education remains a cornerstone of this bilateral relationship, with UK universities playing a pivotal role in nurturing global talent. For decades, the UK has stood as one of the most sought-after destinations for international students, and the growing demand from India continues to reinforce its reputation as a hub for world-class learning, cultural diversity, and global career pathways.By bringing together universities, students, and families under one roof, Azent aims to reinforce its position as a trusted bridge between global education institutions and Indian aspirants.

<title>Australia: A Premier Destination for International Students</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/australia-a-premier-destination-for-international-students</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/australia-a-premier-destination-for-international-students</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi [India], October 6: Australia is consistently among the world’s top study destinations — a powerful combination of high-quality universities, industry-linked curriculum, a multicultural student community and clear post-study pathways. Azent’s Priyanka Nishar (Founder &amp; Managing Director) explains what sets Australia apart and the holistic experience it offers which makes Australia an excellent choice for graduate study.1. What makes Australia a premier destination?Several factors set Australia apart. Its universities regularly appear in global rankings and are renowned for research, teaching quality and international outlook — making degrees from Australia highly respected worldwide. Major research universities such as the University of Melbourne, ANU, UNSW, Monash and the University of Queensland feature in top global lists.Beyond rankings, Australia offers:Strong industry connections and work-integrated learning (internships, industry projects and placements) that improve employability.Jobs and Skills AustraliaA safe, multicultural society and vibrant student life across cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.Transparent student supports (counselling, career services) and regulated education standards overseen by government bodies.Work rights for student visa holders (limited working hours during study, with pathways after graduation to live and work temporarily).2. What are some recommended courses and universities for graduate study?Which course is “best” depends on your career goals, but in 2025 the highest-demand sectors and popular graduate programs include:Information Technology &amp; Data Science (AI, cybersecurity, data analytics) — strong industry demand and many universities offer specialist master’s programs.Engineering &amp; Built Environment (civil, electrical, software, environmental engineering).Health &amp; Allied Health (nursing, public health, physiotherapy) — very strong demand across states.Business &amp; Management (MBA, specialized management) — wide employer networks and internships.Research degrees (MPhil/PhD) for those pursuing academic or R&amp;D careers.For institutional reputation and research strength, consider the Group of Eight (research-intensive) and other top-ranked universities: University of Melbourne, ANU, UNSW Sydney, University of Sydney, Monash University, University of Queensland and others. Each has distinct strengths by faculty and subject area, so match your discipline to the university’s subject ranking and industry links. Degrees earned here are recognised worldwide, giving graduates an edge in competitive job markets back home or elsewhere abroad.But academic ranking tells only part of the story. Students are drawn to Australia’s clear emphasis on practical, industry-linked education. Many master’s and professional programs incorporate internships, research partnerships and work-integrated learning, ensuring that graduates are not just well-read but also work-ready. This close connection to industry has been particularly beneficial in areas like IT, data science, healthcare and engineering — sectors where Australian employers face acute skill shortages and actively seek qualified professionals.3. Briefly take us through the admissions process and fee structure?The road to admission is straightforward but competitive. Most master’s programs require a relevant undergraduate degree with solid academic performance.•⁠ Choose course &amp; university: shortlist programs by curriculum, industry tie-ups, location and scholarships.•⁠ Check entry requirements: most master’s programs ask for a relevant bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) and a competitive GPA; some professional programs require work experience (e.g., MBA).•⁠ ⁠English proficiency: IELTS, TOEFL or PTE scores are commonly required; minimums vary by program.•⁠ Documents: transcripts, CV, statement of purpose, references, portfolio (for creative courses) and any professional certificates.•⁠ ⁠⁠The Genuine Student (GS) assessment must be cleared with the university, which includes successfully completing the university interview and meeting the financial requirements.•⁠ Apply online via each university’s portal. If accepted, the university will issue an Offer Letter, and once you accept it, clear a genuine student assessment, and pay the deposit, a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will be issuedFee structureInternational master’s tuition in Australia commonly ranges from ~AUD 22,000 to AUD 50,000 per year, depending on discipline and university; professional degrees (e.g., MBA, medicine, dentistry) can be higher. Living costs vary by city — Sydney and Melbourne are usually pricier than regional cities.4. What are the visa and pre-arrival costs?To obtain a student visa you’ll need proof of financial capacity. Recent government guidance requires applicants to show minimum savings (commonly quoted around A$29,710 as a baseline for living costs), though amounts and evidentiary requirements can change — confirm the latest Home Affairs guidance before applying. You must also purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of your stay unless exempt.5. Explain the work prospects in Australia?Work opportunities, however, make Australia particularly appealing. International students are permitted to work part-time during their studies, traditionally capped at 48 hours per fortnight. This allows them to offset living expenses and gain local work experience. More importantly, after completing their degrees, graduates may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa, which allows them to live and work in Australia for a defined period. The duration depends on the qualification obtained and government policy settings, but it provides valuable time to gain international work experience and, in some cases, explore pathways to longer-term residence.6. How can Azent help prospective students?Azent has carved a niche for itself by going beyond traditional consultancy services, providing unwavering commitment to student success, through its innovative approach, and personalized services. We offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of students. At its state-of-the-art experience centres &amp; virtual centres across India, students not only get end-to-end support with application, admissions, visas, loans, but can also experience college campuses through Virtual RealityAdditionally, with our Azent App students can build their profile, narrow down universities, get recommendations based on their profile, complete and track the applications and do much more.

<title>Proptech Accelerator Gruhas ASPIRE Announces First Cohort</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/proptech-accelerator-gruhas-aspire-announces-first-cohort</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/proptech-accelerator-gruhas-aspire-announces-first-cohort</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 	Gruhas ASPIRE, a start-up accelerator focused on high-potential Proptech start-ups in India, has announced its inaugural cohort. Selected start-ups benefit from the accelerator&#039;s support, which includes market expansion and access, business model refinement, branding and marketing, hiring, and 1:1 mentoring.


	 


	A partnership between Gruhas Proptech Fund, DLF Family Office, and Anthill Ventures, Gruhas ASPIRE (Accelerating Sustainable Proptech in Real Estate) chooses start-ups from four Proptech streams:


	 


		
			Construction Management
	
	
		
			Property &amp; Asset Management
	
	
		
			New Materials and Technologies
	
	
		
			Investments and Financing
	

	 


	Commenting on the need for investments and scaling support in these areas, as well as the exciting potential of the cohort, Abhijeet Pai, Co-founder of Gruhas Proptech Fund, said, &quot;There is no doubt about the continued demand for construction in global markets. However, we need to invest in sustainable solutions at the same time. Our quest at Gruhas is to bridge the gap between the infrastructure needs of developing markets and the sustainability goals set out by the Paris agreement. This can only happen through the use of innovative technologies and sustainable materials. We believe India has the brightest minds and markets for leading this change and we at Gruhas ASPIRE firmly back this cohort which represents the diversity and high potential of the country. We are excited to support such inspired founders to realise their vision.&quot;


	 


	Start-ups in Gruhas ASPIRE&#039;s first cohort include


	Modcave-a shelter-tech start-up that manufactures innovative prefabricated, modular, temporary shelters that can be deployed anywhere. Modcave&#039;s design allows the shelter to be compressed by 4x, enabling a 90% reduction in logistics and storage costs. modcave.in


	 


	Realiti.io-an integrated solution that empowers real estate brokers to create and manage their digital presence and collaborate with other brokers through a managed service. The service ensures the fulfilment of demand and supply and a 40%reduction in time from lead-to-sale. www.realiti.io


	 


	Safearth-India&#039;s fastest-growing, fully integrated platform for solar projects, Safearth encompasses procurement, EPC, as well as financing support for projects of anysize. The start-up has already captured 6.67% in the C&amp;I Rooftop Solar space and 5% In the overall distributed solar market in India. www.safearth.in


	 


	Settl - a new-age proptech start-up that is reimagining the co-living experience for urban professionals through data-driven models for property selection and differentiated community engagement. thesettl.com


	 


	SustVest -a sustainability fintech platform that enables retail investors to help finance India&#039;s growing renewable energy demands through fractional ownership of solar projects. www.sustvest.com


	 


	Tellus Habitat -a start-up that is working to solve India&#039;s water shortage issue through its proprietary decentralized wastewater treatment machine that can be installed in any home. The machine is scalable to a community and municipality-leveland reduces water use by 40%. 


	 


	Zerund-a sustainable construction materials start-up that captures and converts waste plastic into high-grade, lightweight bricks that are 15% cheaper and 45% lighter than the industry standard. www.zerund.com


	 


	A fast-growing segment proving attractive to investors due to the scope for disruption through innovation and technology, Proptech is reshaping the face of the Indian real estate sector, a fact that Rahul Talwar of the DLF Family Office understands very well. &quot;Construction is the biggest industry in the world, representing 13% of global GDP. But the sector has only seen a productivity growth of 1% in the past two decades. In addition, buildings and construction are responsible for 20.7% of global GHG emissions. I am happy to collaborate with Gruhas and Anthill and assist these innovators in their growth journey through Gruhas ASPIRE.&quot;


	 


	Sailesh Sigatapu, Partner, Anthill Ventures said, &quot;Our mission is to offer startups a speed scaling ecosystem that helps accelerate their growth while building a profitable business model. We do this by establishing a robust product-market fit from the outset and refining their business model before helping them build a measurable plan for sustainable scale. By offering a combination of focused mentoring, knowledge sessions, and capital, we provide founders with a space to bring their vision to life while ensuring that their idea is commercially viable and financially sound. We are committed to helping each cohort not just reach but exceed its potential.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In this day and age when many start-ups, flush with capital, espouse growth-at-any-cost philosophy, one of India&#039;s leading student housing start-ups Myroomie.in is charting a different path keeping solid business fundamentals at the heart of its business.


	 


				
		
	A snazzy reception lobby at a Myroomie property


	 


	In a matter of four years, the boot-strapped start-up Myroomie.in has scaled up to 3,000 beds in Bengaluru and Chennai. Today, Myroomie.in has an industry-leading 95% occupancy in all its properties and has one of the lowest cost structures in the student-housing industry. It has one of the highest EBITDA in the industry too.


	 


	How did Myroomie.in achieve this The secret sauce is backward integration! It is only start-up in the student housing industry which has backward integrated big chunks of its value chain.


	 


	&quot;It all started off with the COVID-19 outbreak. The business had come to a standstill and there was so much of time on hand. We thought we could use it to explore business and process innovation. That was the genesis of backward integration,&quot; recalls Mr. Dennis Basil, CEO and Founder of Monami Hospitality Private Limited, which runs Myroomie.in.


	 


	Today, Myroomie.in has achieved 100% backward integration in interior designing and food and beverage departments.


	 


	&quot;When we started evaluating opportunities for backward integration, we zeroed in on interior designing and F&amp;B,&quot; says Dennis. The interior furnishing costs are a major chunk of capital expenditure for any student housing start-up and food is a major chunk of the operational costs.


	 


	Myroomie.in today manufactures all its furniture in-house saving a lot of capex for the company. The F&amp;B division of the company is run by 100% in-house team, he adds.


	 


	&quot;Initially, we had outsourced food catering but our students, who stay away from their parents and homes, need homely food and not restaurant food. We have a well-trained team of chefs and cooking assistants who prepare fresh homely food free of additives and chemicals. We now have greater control over the process and quality. Our students are very happy. No wonder, Myroomie.in has the highest approval rating from student community in Bengaluru,&quot; adds Dennis.


	 


	The in-house catering unit has become a separate business unit today and operates independently. Besides feeding thousands of meals to students at Myroomie.in properties daily, the unit also serves up about 5,000 meals to corporate offices every single day, contributing significantly to the top line and bottom line of the Company.


	 


	&quot;From sourcing to designing and manufacturing to installing, our in-house team handles the entire interior designing and furnishing for all our new properties thus eliminating mark-ups,&quot; says Dennis, adding that it has helped bring down the capex considerably.


	 


	Myroomie.in leases suitable properties and converts them into a well-appointed home-away-from-home for students. These accommodations offer well-furnished rooms with wardrobes, study desk, bed rooms, living rooms and attached bath. Homely food, security, housekeeping, laundry services, in-house gyms, etc are all part of the package. The dedicated Myroomi.in app allows students and parents to manage all features and facilities at the click of a button.


	 


	Having perfected a cost-efficient and student-centric model with its 3,000 beds in Bengaluru and Chennai, Myroomie.in is planning to raise its first round of funding to expand its operations to other cities of South India.


	 


	&quot;Over the last four years, we have a built a scalable and cost-efficient model to set-up and manage new student housing properties. It is time for us to replicate this model in as many cities of South India as possible and we are evaluating funding options,&quot; says Dennis.


	 


	About Myroomie.in


	Myroomie.in, run by Monami Hospitality Private Limited, is one of the first student housing focused companies in the country. Founded in 2018, the Company operates 3,000 beds in Bengaluru and Chennai.


	 


	The Company plans to extend its operations to Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Mysore, Mangalore and other cities with a target of 1 lakh beds by 2026.


	 


	The CEO &amp; Founder of Myroomie.in is Mr. Dennis Basil, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore. He brings more than 20 years of cross-functional experience in real estate and technology industries. He started his career with Honeywell in the area of Automation and Process solutions. In his last stint as a real estate developer, he has delivered more than 3 million square feet of residential, commercial and mixed-use properties.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Uttar Pradesh is emerging as start up state after many successful investors meet and support of ecosystem created by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. With the population size of approximately 25 crore, Uttar Pradesh has always been a developing market place and attracting investments from other states and International companies.


	 


	Changing ecosystem has given new confidence to the Start Ups from Uttar Pradesh. However, attracting initial funds to Start Ups of Uttar Pradesh is still a challenge. This situation has created a gap which is being addressed as an opportunity by local venture capitalists of Uttar Pradesh.


	 


				
		
	Mr. Neeraj Gupta, Founder, Wealth Creation Group


	 


	Wealth Creation is an investment advisory company based in Uttar Pradesh since 2015, founded by Mr. Neeraj Gupta of Prayagraj. They have been helping investors of commodity market to earn best possible returns by investment advisory services. When asked Mr. Neeraj Gupta about the mantra of success behind Wealth Creation, he mentioned 


	 


	&quot;Our customer Satisfaction Index is more than 85% and we have been able to retain our clients with us since the beginning of Wealth Creation. Confidence and Trust of our clients in the brand Wealth Creation, gives me further courage to think about growth. We are now associated with many growing businesses across industries. I have started supporting able Start Ups of Uttar Pradesh. I do not want talent of this state to go out so have decided to set up an incubation centre in Lucknow. All selected Start Ups by Wealth Creation will not only be funded by me, but also given 360 degree support by Internally acclaimed management consulting group 3EA. We are already investors in many real estate projects, FMCG business and financial literacy based businesses, now I as a venture capitalist have created a fund of INR 10 crore to provide support to Uttar Pradesh based Start Ups. For an investor, I see this as an opportunity and win win proposition.&quot;


	 


	Ten years old management consulting group 3EA and Wealth Creation have signed an MoU for creating a such incubation centre at Lucknow that will help the clients of 3EA and other Start Ups of Uttar Pradesh. &quot;One side, Uttar Pradesh is a land of ideas and talent, on the other side this state is one of the fastest growing state for MSMEs and Start Ups. We have been helping MSMEs and Start Ups of Uttar Pradesh for the last ten years, but the biggest challenge has been the funding of Uttar Pradesh based Start Ups. Small businesses and Start Ups of Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad are the most favoured choices of venture capitalists and angle investors. Somehow Uttar Pradesh has not been the preferred choice. Though conditions are changing, still there is a candid lacuna for business for local venture capitalists. I am happy that Wealth Creation a trusted group by market has come forward and Mr. Neeraj Gupta, founder and Managing Director of Wealth Creation has decided to create a long term corpus to support MSMEs and Start Ups of Uttar Pradesh, &quot; Mentioned by Dr. Vibhor Mishra, CEO of 3EA.


	 


	Wealth Creation is investing massively for the purpose of financial literacy and investment advisory and have launched the beta version of their advisory application, dedicated to guide and support society at large for raising the bar with respect to information, knowledge and wisdom of middle class people for the right kind of investment. They are planning to operate and seek help from Financial Planning Board Of India as well. 


	 


	This can be an example for other entrepreneurs who can create a private fund and can support MSMEs and local Start Ups. This will fill the gap and will extend the horizons for local talent for business and job.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	To celebrate India&#039;s 75th Independence Day, Recur Club and Infoedge Ventures organized an event around the theme &#039;Building in Bharat for the World&#039;.


	 


	It was an enriching session with participation from over 100+ founders, VCs, Industry bodies on &#039;How Indian SaaS startups should build, plan, and strategize to expand globally and navigate the current macro environment&#039;. The panel discussion was led by eminent panelists:


	 


		
			Jitendra Vijay, CEO, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Startup Hub
	
	
		
			Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Infoedge Ventures
	
	
		
			Apurva Chamaria, Head of Partnerships, Startups Google
	
	
		
			Gaurav Goel, Group President &amp; National Head - Startup/Fintech &amp; New Economy Business, Yes Bank
	
	
		
			Sudhanshu Bhasin, Chief Business Officer and Head of Investments at Recur Club
	

	 


				
		
	Founding team of Recur Club along with the panelists


	 


	During the discussion, Jitendra Vijay, CEO, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Startup Hub highlighted, &quot;It&#039;s a decade of technology for India. By 2030, India will be looking at 20-30% of the overall SaaS market pie, which has a huge potential. Given the key technologies like AI and ML and digitalization being the core of the business, youth and ambitious entrepreneurs can accelerate the overall industry growth.&quot;


	 


	At the event, Apurva Chamaria, Head of Partnerships, Startups Google stated, &quot;India enjoys great credibility and prestige when it comes to technology. 10% of the global developer population is based out of India, and it is growing steadily at 40% every year. Owing to our strong developer community, we possess proven expertise in developing SaaS products, and I foresee a lot of enterprise SaaS companies coming up in the future.&quot;


	 


	SaaS businesses have been gaining traction with robust growth at 33%+ and with $6B+ VC investments in 2021 (20% of the overall VC investments at $35B).


	 


	BVP&#039;s SaaS index which tracks 50+ key cloud companies was trading at over 20x ARR in 2020. But since last year the index witnessed a 50% decline in LTM. Startups are now looking at alternative financing solutions as well after seeing a 20-30% decline in funding through traditional channels.


	 


	Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Infoedge Ventures said, &quot;Owing to the recurring nature of cash flows, high gross margins, and capital efficiency, SaaS-based business model becomes way more defensive in the down markets rather than upmarket. These key advantages of the SaaS business model give founders more flexibility to scale up the business and grow.&quot;


	 


	Gaurav Goel, Group President &amp; National Head - Startup/Fintech &amp; New Economy Business, Yes Bank said, &quot;Banking industry is gearing to provide a better ecosystem to the Indian startup ecosystem and that Yes Bank has recently also started investing equity in selective startups.&quot;

<title>Astrology Can Help Fuel India&amp;apos;s Start&#45;up Growth Story: Astro Zindagi</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
		
			Corporate Astrology Consulting market potential in India estimated to be valued around $2 billion according to Astro Zindagi
	
	
		
			Astro Zindagi&#039;s Founder &amp; CEO, Neeraj Dhankher conferred National FAME award 2022 for &quot;Most Popular Corporate Astrologer in Delhi-NCR&quot; 
	
	
		
			Award presented by Indian Actress, Malaika Arora
	

	 


	The stars seem to be aligning for the booming start-up ecosystem in India as application of Astrological solutions and services is emerging as a key enabler in fuelling this remarkable growth journey according to Astro Zindagi-one of Indias fastest growing Astrology service providers in the corporate space. 


	 


				
		
	Mr. Neeraj Dhankher, Founder and CEO, Astro Zindagi receiving the award from Malaika Arora


	In an award ceremony conducted on August 6, 2022 in New Delhi by Brands Impact, Astro Zindagi&#039;s Founder &amp; CEO, Neeraj Dhankher was conferred the National Fame Award 2022 for the &quot;Most Popular Corporate Astrologer in Delhi-NCR&quot;. The award was presented to Mr Dhankher by Malaika Arora, a well-known Indian actress, at a glitzy ceremony also attended by celebrities from the television fraternity.


	 
	Speaking on the occasion, Astro Zindagi&#039;s Founder &amp; CEO, Mr. Neeraj Dhankher said, &quot;The Indian start-up growth story is at a tipping point today. India currently houses the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world with more than 61,000 recognised start-ups. Today, there are more than 80 unicorns in India with a total valuation exceeding $200 billion. One of the key reasons for the surge in the Indian start-up ecosystem is the drastic shift in perception towards entrepreneurship. The Indian youth is highly skilled, motivated and innovative and is keen to achieve their goals and aspirations through business. While they are high on talent, they lack experience and patience. This is where the role of Astrology seeps in the form of the &#039;Collective wisdom&#039; of our ancient seers who gave us all the answers to the complex problems that the human race would face in years to come through Astrology (Jyotish)-which they termed as the &#039;eye of the Vedas&#039;. Corporate Astrology is an extension of the same divine knowledge to premeditate complex business challenges and offer solutions to meet entrepreneurs&#039; growing financial aspirations.&quot; 


	Whether it is hiring qualified employees, securing funding for the venture, adapting to the financial ecosystem, designing marketing strategies or carving out a niche amidst high competition-all of these are challenges that can be positively aligned through the application of Astrology, said Dhankher. 


	While the Indian Astrology and related market is projected to be worth over $20 billion, the share of corporate astrology is far lower as of now. &quot;Corporate Astrology has been a late entrant, no doubt, given the perception of business owners towards astrology as well as the skills of the astrologer. Both of these have undergone a radical shift in last few years along with technological interventions. More and more company owners are seeking business advice from astrologers and are even streamlining operations and recruitment in line with the cosmic signals.&quot; 


	According to Dhankher, &quot;We are currently sitting on the tip of the iceberg as far as demand for Corporate Astrology is concerned. According to our in-house analysis, the market size of astrology as a corporate consulting business in India is estimated to be around $2 billion-including start-ups as well as big corporates-most of which is still untapped. There is a definite void in the industry when it comes to reliable forecasting tools and models. Right from taking timely business decisions to chalking out expansions plans or initiating complicated Mergers and Acquisitions-Astrology has a solution for all. Going by our experience and market research, companies can atleast double their business revenue every two years only if they go beyond the naked eye and align their decisions and strategy in line with the cosmic signals.&quot;  


	There has been an uptick in demand for Astrology solutions from the corporates and start-ups in post-COVID times. &quot;More and more business owners are beginning to gain trust and faith on Astrology to bail themselves out of the financial crisis caused since Covid struck the planet. Astrology is a great problem-solving tool which employs scientific principles backed by a vast body of research to predict a consistent and stable revenue path for an organisation&quot;, said Dhankher. 


	About Astro Zindagi
	Astro Zindagi is an integrated solution and service provider in the Astrology domain based out of Noida, India. It is founded by Mr. Neeraj Dhankher who has more than 24 years of experience in the field of Vedic Astrology. The company provides Astrological and Vastu services and solutions for corporates and start-ups in India and abroad.

<title>Online Marketplace for Preloved Books &amp;quot;What&amp;apos;s In Your Story&amp;quot; Inaugurated During the Mysuru Startup Pavilion</title>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/online-marketplace-for-preloved-books-whats-in-your-story-inaugurated-during-the-mysuru-startup-pavilion</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	&#039;What&#039;s In Your Story&#039; an unique online marketplace for preloved books got launched during the Mysuru Startup Pavilion event held in Mysuru on 5th August 2022 by Mr. Suresh Sethi - Managing Director and CEO of Protean eGov Technologies Ltd.


	 


				
		
	L to R: Rakesh Prasad, Mr. Suresh Sethi - MD &amp; CEO, Protean eGov Technologies Limited, Ms. Khushi Joshi - Founder &amp; CEO, Whats In Your Story, Aditya Pankar, Bhawana D. C.


	 


	Whats In Your Story (WIYS) is an online marketplace where circulating libraries, book stores, and individuals can buy, sell and rent pre-loved books. WIYS is a first-of-its-kind initiative with an incredibly user-friendly interface. Post registration on the website, the prompts will guide you to your desired transaction. In case of any issues, they have a responsive customer support team for immediate assistance. Users can contact them via their website www.whatsinyourstory.com or Instagram @whatsinyourstory for a quick resolution.


	 


	On the success of the launch, Mr. Suresh Sethi, MD &amp; CEO, Protean eGov Technologies Ltd. congratulated the WIYS team and said, &quot;It is a brilliant and pioneering initiative to leverage technology to unlock &quot;stores of knowledge&quot; and connect the knowledge seekers with knowledge providers. In an era when remote learning has become part of the new normal, this model connects the physical with the digital. The WIYS team has intelligently used technology to promote sustainability. I wish them success as they start their journey.&quot;


	 


	Every year millions of trees are cut down to make paper, WIYS&#039;s vision is to promote the love for reading sustainably. Using pre-loved books WIYS aims to create value for the sacrifice of each tree cut down to make a book.


	 


	India has seen a surging demand for second-hand books due to their affordability and the rise in sustainable practices worldwide. Though this demand is enormous, there isn&#039;t a one-stop solution for readers to access these second-hand or pre-loved books. Also, the pandemic has terribly impacted small circulating libraries, during which many libraries had to shut down. By partnering with local libraries, WIYS also hopes to rekindle the relationship between readers and local libraries, while also giving any individual who wants to sell their books the chance to do so on an accessible platform.


	 


	&quot;WIYS hopes to assist small libraries while providing everyone with simple and quick means to obtain the books they want to read or to sell the ones they have already read.

<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/travel-fintech-startup-sankash-reveals-how-india-travel-during-long-weekends</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/travel-fintech-startup-sankash-reveals-how-india-travel-during-long-weekends</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	SanKash, India&#039;s only travel fintech brand that facilitates online and offline travel operators to provide innovative payment plans to their customers, today revealed latest data on travel trends for long weekends. Over 95% of the bookings received by SanKash were from families with the remaining 5% for trips with friends.


	The latest data also revealed primary bookings coming from metros and tier 1 and 2 cities, namely Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Nagpur, Hyderabad and Pune, Kolkata, Kochi and Jaipur. Over 40% of the bookings came from West India, followed by 31% from South, 26% from North and 4% from Eastern India. According to OYO&#039;s consumer survey, 37% travelers have a preference for mountains, 33% for beaches in India.


	Travelers also start making their long weekend travel plans fairly in advance to beat the rush. Flights and trains are booked more than one month in advance, mostly due to cheaper rates and limited seats. Online Travel Aggregators (OTA) generally observe a 40-50% increase in advance air ticket bookings during long weekends. There is a substantial rise in leisure travel, with a significant number of travelers opting for group and family trips over solo vacations. Multi-generational families, millennials and young professionals, couples and honeymooners are driving demand, with destinations like Kashmir leading traveler preferences, followed by Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and the North-East.


	Commenting on the travel trends by Indians, Akash Dahiya, Co-founder, SanKash said, &quot;Long weekends have become the new way of enjoying time with families and friends. As two festivals - Raksha Bandhan and Janmashtami falling closer together, its no surprise that many people are traveling back to their families from metros, where they work or live. Families also look to spend time together to catch a breather from their daily routines and hence, we see a huge demand for family trips to destinations such as Goa, Jaipur, Manali, Ooty and Mysore. We also witnessed many advanced bookings, which indicates that people are actively planning for long weekend outings.&quot;


	SanKash is the country&#039;s only travel fintech aggregator that enables travelers to spread the cost of their travel into digestible payments spread over a period of 3 to 24 months by partnering with leading travel merchants.


	The company also suggests tips to ensure before planning for long weekends:


	1. Advance Booking: Customers should book their travel plan well in advance to ensure getting good rates.


	2. Safety: Ensure while traveling, the aspect of safety is well covered. During long weekend holiday plans, there are a lot of people who like to travel and hence many places get too full. Its needed that wherever the booking is happening, mode of transport should be safe. Also, carry your important documents that can be produced wherever necessary.


	3. Comfort: While booking your plan, it is necessary to consider &quot;Comfort&quot; as one of the preferences whilst traveling with family, kids and/ or friends. Comfort ensure a good travel experience.

<title>Growing at a Phenomenal Rate and with an Eye to the Future, Celcius is Set Out to Create India&amp;apos;s First Unbroken Cold Chain</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/growing-at-a-phenomenal-rate-and-with-an-eye-to-the-future-celcius-is-set-out-to-create-indias-first-unbroken-cold-chain</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/growing-at-a-phenomenal-rate-and-with-an-eye-to-the-future-celcius-is-set-out-to-create-indias-first-unbroken-cold-chain</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	India&#039;s very first Cold Chain digital marketplace, Celcius, formed during the most challenging environment of the COVID pandemic, is today scaling an enviable growth trajectory. In just two years of its inception, the company recorded an ARR of INR 50 CR and recently closed USD 7.5 MN in funding rounds. 


	 


				
		
	Swarup Bose, Founder and CEO, Celcius


	 


	Speaking on the rapid progress made, Swarup Bose - Founder &amp; CEO of Celcius, said, &quot;Celcius&#039;s HYBRID SaaS-based cold chain marketplace solution connecting Shippers, Transporters, and Cold Storage owners across the country comes as a boon to the entire sector. We are attempting to bridge the systemic gaps and create a tech ecosystem that will be unparalleled. In just two years, we have grown 20 times and expanded our operations from 5 to 350 cities. As tons of food and vaccines get wasted every year, Celcius is set out on a mission to create a precise Unbroken Cold Chain, a crying need of the country today.&quot;


	 


	The conventional cold chain system in India is riddled with issues. The yawning systemic gaps became more pronounced and came to the forefront during the unprecedented nationwide lockdown in March 2020. The unavailability of staff and coordination errors between the shippers and transporters created chaos in transporting essential commodities across the country. Considering the sustained demand for contactless deliveries and anticipating the need for a robust and seamless cold chain to aid the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, Swarup, who was already in the cold chain business and his team came together to create a paradigm shift with Celcius. Since then the company has had phenomenal growth achieving the following milestones:


	 


		
			Onboarded 3500 vehicles, 107 cold storages, and had grown 20 X just in one year.
	
	
		
			Geographically it has expanded from five city operations to 350 cities today. 
	
	
		
			Transported over 20000 tonnes of perishable cargo for sectors like dairy, fresh agricultural produce, pharma, fruits, seafood, and vaccines across 350 cities in India
	
	
		
			Ventured across the border to import fruits from Afghanistan and to export seafood outside India, connecting Nepal and Bhutan
	
	
		
			Tied up with financial institutions like Shriram Transport and Finance Company and with OEMs like Ashok Leyland and Tata
	
	
		
			Has a stellar clientele that includes Zepto, Maersk, Godrej Agrovet, Gadre Marine, IB Group, Innovative Foods, Reliance Pharma, Balmer &amp; Laurie, and Vadilal 
	

	 


	Celcius&#039;s web and Android applications allow a shipper to instantly book reefer vehicles or cold storage space across the nation and monitor the inventory LIVE! The shipper can download reports and receive specialized alerts for any variation in temperature maintenance or route deviations. The app also empowers the transporters to analyze how their vehicles are performing using TMS (Transport Management System) giving even the smallest of transporters the tools needed to maximize the utilization of their assets. Machine learning and predictive analysis allow the company to map requirements and deploy unused inventory at the right time and the right place. 


	 


	Within just two years, Celcius has grown from a team of 5 to a team of 72 with offices in 5 cities and a team presence in 12 cities across India. Shortly, Celcius would be upgrading the platform with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Inventory Management System (IMS). With its Transportation Management Systems (TMS) already live, this will bring end-to-end visibility in the storage and transportation of perishables under one platform while removing redundancies and optimising the entire supply chain. Having begun with primary distribution, this cold-chain logistics start-up added secondary (mid mile) distribution, started cold storage offerings about two months back and has added in-depth last mile deliveries in 6 cities thus creating a True Unbroken Cold Chain. Celcius would be further introducing an in-depth cold storage warehousing solution, securing a reach in over 500 cities, and scaling its business in terms of team size and reach by the turn of the year and is aiming at a USD 10 MN as part of its series A funding. 


	 


	Tons of food and vaccines are wasted every year in India (a whopping 30% of farm produce and 29% of vaccines). One of the main reasons for the wastage is the acute shortage of refrigerated vehicles and cold storage in India. Apart from reducing waste, enhancing the shelf life of products is also a need of the hour that an effective cold supply chain can resolve. The GOI has backed many supply chain and logistics projects with subsidies and waivers ever since the onset of the pandemic. The implementation of the National Logistics Policy (NLP), will enable the Indian logistics and warehousing sector to become better connected and transparent. For a nation that serve ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	BriBooks, an AI powered writing and publishing platform for children, today announced that it has exited stealth mode and has raised USD 1.5 million in pre-seed funding. Amidst the unprecedented disruption in education, caused by COVID-19, BriBooks takes on one of the worlds major education problems - children stopped reading and writing for pleasure and the older they are, the less they read. In the US, less than 5% of K-12 students enjoy reading while according to research, writing and reading are more likely to determine a child&#039;s future than their social or economic background.


				
		
	AI Powered platform which helps children write, publish and sell books globally


	&quot;As every educator knows, writing for pleasure, and starting at an early age is the most effective way to excel academically and enjoy superior mental health,&quot; says Ami Dror, Founder &amp; CEO of BriBooks. &quot;By providing kids with a digital writing experience, BriBooks makes writing fun and engaging. Using a wide selection of professional book themes and pre-designed pages, the young authors get to visualize their book as they write it. We provide the young authors with a combination of visual triggers, open-ended questions, gaming hooks and storytelling tools, allowing them to easily write, publish and sell their books on BriBooks, Amazon, and Barnes &amp; Noble.&quot;


	 


	The global children&#039;s books market size is expected to grow from USD 16.9 billion in 2020 to USD 21.9 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.8% and BriBooks disrupts this category by offering fast and low cost authoring, editing, printing and distribution solutions within one platform.


	&quot;Our customers are parents, children, and educators,&quot; added Paurush Pandit and Abhishek Kumar, BriBooks Co-founders. &quot;When it comes to creativity or imagination, kids have a clear advantage over adults. They love inventing and telling stories and BriBooks empowers them to share their books, participate in the worlds best writing contests, and even get global recognition for their books. Children, parents, and educators can now write books for free on www.bribooks.com.&quot;


	 


	About BriBooks


	BriBooks is the world&#039;s first childrens creative writing platform, enabling children and families to learn creative writing and publish their books with the assistance of BriBooks&#039; Artificial Intelligence writing engine and share their stories with the world.

<title>Astrology Startup Astrotalk Doing a Business of Rs. 70 Lakh per Day</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	There is an app for everything these days with their sole purpose being solving our life problems. But factually speaking, most of these apps are only here to solve our immediate problems. So what about the problems that lie in the future Well, worry no more because we have found an app that not only takes care of your present but also your future - Astrotalk. 


	 


				
		
	Puneet Gupta - Founder &amp; CEO, Astrotalk


	 


	Founded by Puneet Gupta, Astrotalk is the world&#039;s biggest astrology startup that helps people connect with astrologers and ask them questions about their marriage, love, career, health and more.  


	 


	Astrotalk has already served over 3-crore people in less than 5 years &amp; does a business of over 70 lacs per day making it one of the most successful startups in India.


	 


	But, the most interesting fact about Astrotalk is that the founder himself never believed in astrology until one astrology prediction changed his life forever. 


	 


	Astrotalk was launched as a result of an astrology prediction!


	In 2015, Puneet was working as an IT engineer in Mumbai when he decided to quit his job to do a startup. But like most of us, he too was very anxious about leaving the job security.


	 


	Thats when one of his colleagues noticed his tension and asked him about the problem. On learning about his confusion, she offered to help with an astrology prediction. Puneet, who didn&#039;t believe in astrology back then, laughed at his colleague and asked her how an educated person like her could believe in astrology.


	 


	His colleague was however very confident about her astrology skills, and told him that she could tell him everything about his past. Considering her confidence, Puneet agreed to give it a try as he had nothing to lose. The astrologer gave accurate predictions about his past but Puneet didn&#039;t believe in it, thinking she might have heard that from someone.


	 


	Predicting his future, she told him that he would soon start an IT startup with his friend but it would shut down in 2 years as his partner will leave him. She then added that Puneet would start another startup that eventually will become very successful. Puneet didn&#039;t believe any of it, yet resigned to start an IT company. To his surprise, 2 years later, his partner did leave, leading to shutting down of a well-established business.


	 


	It was then Punnet recalled the prediction of her friend. He arranged her number and gave her a call to tell her how her prediction came true. The astrologer-ex-colleague then suggested Puneet to do something in the spiritual field, adding that such a business will be successful for him. It was then Puneet started Astrotalk, a company that has grown at lightning speed to become the world&#039;s largest Astrology company.


	 


	The Rise of Astrotalk


	The secret to Astrotalk&#039;s success, as per Puneet, is hiring the most authentic and genuine astrologers. Secondly, Puneet says he tries to do business with full honesty.


	 


	&quot;The biggest challenge for us right from the beginning has been to find genuine astrologers. We get thousands of CVs from across India, but less than 5% of the entrants can clear our interview process. There are a lot of self-proclaimed astrologers in the market, so it takes about 5-7 interviews to identify the right astrologers,&quot; says Gupta. Another reason why Astrotalk is famous among astrology lovers is for its 100% privacy. On Astrotalk, customers can chat and talk privately with astrologers.


	 


	&quot;The only way to build a good product is to talk to the customers and keep doing the best for them. If you solve the problems of customers, they will solve all your business problems,&quot; Gupta adds.


	 


	Astrotalk&#039;s future


	Astrotalk is one of the fastest-growing startups in India. &quot;We are clocking a revenue of over Rs. 70 lakh per day,&quot; says Puneet Gupta. At present, the app has more than 4000 Astrologers, who are serving around 2,50,000 minutes of astrology consultation every day. Out of which, around 1,70,000 minutes of consultation is on queries related to love, relationships and marriage. And around 80,000 mins/day related to job, career and business.


	 


	On the marketing side, Astrotalk is working with numerous celebs, including Shweta Tiwari, Mouni Roy, Vaani Kapoor to reach out to a larger audience. Recently, Astrotalk also sponsored the reality show - Swayamvar: Mika Di Vohti.  


	 


	About further expansion, the Founder says, &quot;We are already doing good business in India and have users from international markets as well. Further, we plan to increase our focus on international markets and cater to countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE.&quot;


	 


	&quot;In addition, we are also looking forward to onboarding 10,000 more astrologers by the end of 2022. And in order to scale rapidly, we are offering the first chat w ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	GITAM (Deemed to be) University, in association with Startup India, Northeastern University Center for Emerging Markets (NUCEM), Boston and Northeastern University Center for Entrepreneurship Education (NUCEE), Boston, has launched the coveted SmartIDEAthon 2022 Challenge with over 1000+ student teams from across 27 states pitching start-up ideas that could help build sustainable and resilient communities through social innovation. All venture ideas are to be around five pertinent themes that are currently relevant to India. 


	 


	The mega pitchfest involves personalized coaching for shortlisted student entrepreneurs, a sponsored trip to Boston and cash and grants worth Rs. 30 lakh for winners and runners-up. The themes for 2022 align with India@75 - Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations. These are food and agriculture, clean/green technology, waste management, health tech and assistive technology, and water management.


	 


	Student participants currently enrolled in any undergraduate or postgraduate programs and recent graduates can showcase their venture ideas in teams not exceeding two members.


	 


	In Round 1, a panel of top venture leaders will review the submitted minute-long video pitches and presentations for relevance and innovation. Up to 100 shortlisted applicants will make it to Round 2 and be invited for online Bootcamp sessions and coaching by ace entrepreneurship practitioners. After the panel re-assesses submitted ideas for innovation, scalability and impact, 32 shortlisted teams from Round 2 get to walk into the semi-finals.


	 


	The semi-finals and the grand finale will be organized in person at GITAM&#039;s Visakhapatnam campus, where the teams will network with industry experts, entrepreneurs and other prominent guests. As the competition gets stiff, eight teams will pitch to an eminent jury and live audience on stage in an auditorium setting.


	 


	Besides Bootcamp-style and one-on-one coaching and prizes worth a total of Rs. 30 lakh, winners and first runners-up will be flown to Boston for an all expenses-paid two-week stay hosted by Northeastern University. They will get to see and experience the vibrant Boston entrepreneurship ecosystem with trips to local incubators and accelerators and special mentoring by experts.


	 


	These Boston trips would be for the winner and runner-up teams of the Challenge and winners in the Best Social Impact Business Idea and the Best Woman-led Entrepreneurship Idea categories.


	 


	Mr. Krish Nangegadda, Chief Innovation Officer, GITAM (Deemed to be) University, said, &quot;At GITAM&#039;s Venture Development Center (VDC), we specialize in providing experiential entrepreneurship education to students of all disciplines. We have created a vibrant ecosystem of assets and events that enable creative thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset to solve business and societal problems. SmartIDEAthon is one such event that offers a platform for young minds to propose solutions around the themes advertised. The coaches and mentors at the VDC are equipped to conduct bootcamps and one-on-one sessions to handhold and guide the students to refine their ideas and to prepare them for the pitching competition.  This is going to be a truly enriching experience for the students and equally for the coaches and organizers as well.&quot;


	 


	&quot;The current ideathon is focused on themes which are of national importance; through this ideathon, we encourage students to work on startups that help build sustainable and resilient communities through social innovation.  The focus is on identifying pressing problems in Indian society. The participants are encouraged to pitch ideas that will solve these problems and positively impact millions of people. We encourage students to explore technological, process, and design innovations,&quot; said Prof. Raja P Pappu, Director, Venture Development Centre, GITAM.


	 


	The platform provides an excellent opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to network. &quot;When starting out, an entrepreneur&#039;s network can open doors to critical opportunities, knowledge, and support that can be the difference between a venture that succeeds and one that fails. SmartIDEAthon curates these crucial experiences for an entrepreneur,&quot; said Mahesh Varier, Deputy Director-VDC, GITAM. 


	 


	The previous edition of SmartIDEAthon Challenge witnessed an overwhelming response from students, with 250 team submissions from over 90 colleges in 17 states last year. Round 1 and 2 results will be out on July 15 and 22, respectively. The semi-finals and finale will take place in August 2022.

I have been with the council for 11 years as a member, and being appointed as the Convenor of ESC Rajasthan is a great achievement for me. Furthermore, ESC has contributed a lot to my professional journey by connecting me with 50+ international business networks and facilitated my visit to 15+countries as a part of the ESC delegation.&quot;


	 


	He further adds, &quot;We have even signed an MoU with Rajasthan Foundation, which will help us associate with non-resident Rajasthanis (NRRs) worldwide to create, build and nurture the startup ecosystem in the untapped market in Rajasthan. I believe working with these two organizations will help us build a vibrant and export-oriented business ecosystem in Electronics and IT in Rajasthan.&quot;


	 


	Sushil Sharma believes that the IT sector in India is expected to grow in the near future. Despite the initial hiccups, it has remained resilient during the current crisis, and its response will go a long way in securing stronger partnerships with global clients. Moreover, the SMEs, especially the IT SMEs, are exposed to greater opportunities for expansion and diversification across sectors.


	 


	He added, Rajasthan has a strong IT &amp; Electronic industry, and the entrepreneurs are ambitious. We are sure that we&#039;ll have a solid contribution to the ESC journey.

The council also has active state chapters in the country, and the members are collectively working to make our IT &amp; Electronics industries grow beyond our geographical boundaries &amp; create a global impact.&quot;


	 


	In summing up, Sushil Sharma says, the ESC journey has played a significant role in honing my entrepreneurial and leadership skills. Starting the entrepreneurial journey as a struggling founder, facing multiple failures to bounce back and revolutionize the startup ecosystem in Tier II &amp; Tier III cities of the nation, the 11 years of invaluable learnings and acquired skills at ESC have guided me through my journey as a Founder of Marwari Catalysts.

	ThinkAg along with CropLife India, the leading voice of the plant science industry in India; organized an Industry Round table &quot;AgLab&quot; - Connecting Innovators with Corporates - Drone Applications in Agriculture &amp; Crop Protection - bringing together all stakeholders of the Agriculture Drone ecosystem with a &#039;focused platform for partnerships&#039; for the start-ups and stressed on the need of fast tracking and large scale adoption of drone technology for agrochemical spraying in the country.


	 


				
		
	Government, Drone innovators and agrochemical companies congregate for value creation for farmers


	 


	Smt. Shomita Biswas, Joint Secretary (M&amp;T), Ministry of Agriculture &amp; Farmers&#039; Welfare, Government of India; said, &quot;It is time to make drones accessible for farmers. There are 200+ start-ups, engaged in manufacturing and providing drone services in agriculture, who would play a pivotal role. Empaneling with the State Governments and becoming custom hiring centres themselves; are the critical next steps for start-ups.


	 


	The Government of India has added another intervention of involving the rural youth. Just with Bachelor in Science - agriculture degree, he/she can open a custom hiring centre, own a drone, and be an entrepreneur; employing others. Youth will be the ambassadors of Drone technology and hence we must leverage this segment. Start-ups in this sector can engage with the youth and other partners at village level and helping the growth of agricultural economy.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Asitava Sen, Chief Executive Officer, CropLife India, anchored the webinar shared, &quot;CropLife India is committed to help develop a conducive ecosystem and quick adoption of Kisan Drones in India. Collaborations between innovators and agrochemical companies would play an imminent role in flattening the learning curve.&quot; Mr. Sen added, &quot;The purpose of the webinar is to offer a &#039;Focused and Neutral Platform for partnerships&#039; between the start-ups and Agrochemical/Agriculture input companies for knowledge sharing. Partnerships amongst stakeholders is critical to overcome the challenges and leverage the opportunities that this new technology offers.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Hemendra Mathur, Co-founder, ThinkAg in his introductory remarks said, &quot;Drone applications including spraying, crop health monitoring and data collection will be transformative for Indian agriculture.&quot; He mentioned that there is merit in building an &quot;open source platform&quot; of the images captured through drone cameras. The image analytics can help build specific APIs as well as public dashboards on crop health, sowing area, potential yields etc. This will need collaboration amongst drone players and a mechanism to store, share and analyse images on a common platform.


	 


	Mr. Prem Kumar Vislawath, Founder &amp; Chief Innovator, Marut Drones said, &quot;The technological aspect of Drones hasn&#039;t been picked up in agriculture. Farmers still rely on manual farming but drones is set to change the perspective, as drones with AI technology quantify distinctive features like plant count, plant height etc. From sowing to harvest, we help farmers with data by developing a crop-wise calendar.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Amandeep Panwar, Executive Director &amp; CEO, BharatRohan Airborne Innovations said, &quot;We provide farmers with end-to-end solutions- from the sowing of seeds to the sale of produce and we offer a complete dashboard to each and every stakeholders. Our major USP is that we work on hyper-spectral Imaging for crop monitoring where we identify a crop issue even before visual symptoms appear.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Pradeep Palelli, Co-founder &amp; CEO, Thanos Technologies said, &quot;All agrochemical companies are required to adhere to SOPs and we have been working with a few of them on a pilot basis apart from working with Flytech Aviation Academy. We have partnered with National Skill Training Institute (NSTI), Hyderabad; run by the Directorate General of Training (DGT), Government of India, to help in creating a talent pool.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Raja Raman, Chief Business Officer &amp; Board Member, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems said, &quot;We devised petrol engine-based drones instead of battery-pack drones to reduce the operational cost of Rs. 10 lakh to Rs. 2.5-2.8 lakh. They cover 30-35 acres a day with 8-hour usage per day and roughly 650 ml petrol usage each day. We offer a complete solution, training technicians, dealers-distributors across India.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Prayas Saxena, Founder &amp; CEO, Skylane Dronetech said, &quot;We are working with farmers, service partners and agri-input companies. We have developed training modules and have started imparting training in agricultural institutes. We feel that collaboration would provide more network to companies and access to remote places apart from ensuring precision and adding value.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Saurabh Srivastava, General Manager - Sales, IoTechWorld Avigation said, &quot;We started in the year 2017 with just 4 drones but ri ]]></description>

<title>FICCI&#45;CMSME President R Narayan Congratulates all the MSMEs and Startups of India on International MSME Day 2022</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Every big business starts out small, but each small business has made a big impact in the last year. From survival to recovery, India&#039;s MSMEs have put up a magnificent display of resilience and strength.


	 


	&quot;On the occasion of International MSME Day, I would like to congratulate and compliment all MSMEs and entrepreneurs for their excellent contribution to the economy of the country which has created huge employment opportunities for millions of people. We all truly deserve to celebrate this day with new vigour and commitment towards making the MSME sector grow manifold and become globally competitive.


	 


	Resilient recovery is the focus of this year&#039;s events. We honour the entrepreneurs in societies everywhere as they face the triple threat of COVID-19, conflict and climate,&quot; says R Narayan, Founder &amp; CEO, Power2SME &amp; President, FICCI-CMSME.


	 


				
		
	R Narayan, Founder and CEO, Power2SME


	 


	While policymakers and industry leaders alike brainstorm on how to eliminate barriers faced by MSMEs, and improve their business environment, it is the MSMEs who are laying the blueprint on innovation, recalibration and sustainability in their business models and operations. When the MSMEs of today become the multinationals of tomorrow, the Earth will no longer suffocate under the burden of industry, but will be given a new lease of life, because of it.


	 


	With 63 million units producing more than 8,000 products, and a share of around 30% in the GDP, the country is looking at the sector which is the second largest employer in the country after agriculture, to propel the economy forward to reaching its $5 trillion target. In doing so, it is facilitating the sector with multiple reforms to ease regulatory compliances and access to credit. Some of the recent developments undertaken by the government in this direction are:


	 


		
			Introduction of Udyam Registration to ease formalisation of the MSME sector and make available to them the various schemes and incentives of the Government.
	
	
		
			Extension of the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme or ECLGS till March 2023.
	
	
		
			Inclusion of MSMEs in defence manufacturing
	
	
		
			Development of a robust skilling eco-system to meet the demands of skilled workforce in the various emerging and traditional sectors in different segments of enterprises
	
	
		
			Introduction of portals like MSME Samadhaan and Champions portal for redressal of MSME grievances
	

	 


	While the MSMEs are stepping away from the shadows of the pandemic, there are a few steps that the industry looks forward to for speedy revival of the sector:


	 


		
			Safeguarding measures for MSMEs from rising prices of raw materials
	
	
		
			Boost of credit flow to young startups that have emerged in the last few years by RBI
	
	
		
			Prioritising clearance of payments owed to MSMEs at least by government bodies
	
	
		
			Allowing fintechs on platforms like TReDS to ensure speedy adoption of digitisation by MSMEs.
	

	 


	It is estimated that 600 million jobs will be needed by 2030 to absorb the growing global workforce, which makes SME development a high priority for many governments around the world. In such times, it is critical that India continues to empower the great backbone of its economy so that it can truly unleash its untapped potential through sustainable innovation that generates opportunities for the country&#039;s masses.

<title>Sporjo Conducts India&amp;apos;s First Sports Ecosystem and Gaming Hackathon</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/sporjo-conducts-indias-first-sports-ecosystem-and-gaming-hackathon</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/sporjo-conducts-indias-first-sports-ecosystem-and-gaming-hackathon</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
		
			First ever hackathon conducted to create solutions for the Indian Sports Ecosystem
	
	
		
			Participants from over 40 cities, 750+ colleges, 15 early stage sports start-ups
	
	
		
			10 Lakhs &amp; incubation opportuities given as gratification
	

	 


	India&#039;s fastest growing sports ed-tech start-up Sporjo recently concluded  Hack for Sport - a Sports Ecosystem &amp; Gaming Hackathon, which began on April 1st, 2022. One among the path breaking initiatives that Sporjo has undertaken, Hack for Sport is India&#039;s first Hackathon aimed at accelerating growth in the sports industry. The event is a step towards Sporjo&#039;s goal of training half a million sports professionals by 2030. 


	 


	The Hackathon aimed to bridge the gap - both in terms of knowledge and accessibility between aspiring sports entrepreneurs and growth-focused investors. As the Indian sports industry climbs toward the INR 10,000 crore valuation mark, it&#039;s cumulative growth of 54% over the last decade, has caught the attention of the investor community that want to help grow the industry and be a part of this rapidly growing industry.


	 


	Calling for participation from across the country, the Hackthon featured students, young professionals and early stage sports start-ups solving for fourteen segments of the sports industry. These included grassroots development, fan engagement, revenue generation, sports technology, in-stadia experience, infrastructure, gaming, brand association, women in sports, brand and business growth - for both existing and new sports, sports equipment, fitness, and E-sports. The hackathon received 4500 registrations from across 750+ colleges and 15 early stage start-ups from across 40 cities in India. A five-stage selection process over 3 months culminated into a power packed finale on June 19th, 2022.


	 


	13 finalist teams submitted their demos for review by a jury of organizers and experts. The jury selected IRIS+ by team Idli Sambhar, an AI powered personal sports trainer application, based on Google&#039;s Mediapipe Pose Detection Library, that allows athletes to not only self train but also receive critical feedback to improve performance.  The team was composed of members from Varanasi.


	 


	&quot;I enjoyed being a part of the event, which I felt was synonymous with the recent spurt of growth in the sports tech ecosystem. In particular, I was pleasantly surprised by the extent of thinking that was put in to create the prototypes for the ideas presented. Some of the solutions we saw have genuine potential to turn into real businesses, which is exciting. I hope the event becomes an annual fixture and grows in stature and prominence. I look forward to being a part of the same next year as well!&quot; said jury member Mr. Paroksh Gupta, MD, A&amp;W Capital, a platform focused on sports, gaming &amp; digital media.


	 


	Said jury member Mr. Kedar Teny, CEO, Lowe Lintas, &quot;Innovation is a force of nature. As humans we are restless and constantly seeking newer and better solutions. In country like ours where most processes are broken, require fixing. The world of sport faces this acutely. We need independent thinkers who can come up with innovative &amp; cost effective solutions supported by platforms that can give them the right stage, and the right opportunities to help scale. I was amazed by both the quantity and the quality of the presentations made by the finalists. Given that this was the first of its kind done in India, the bar has been set high and I can&#039;t wait for the next edition. Events like these push you out of your comfort zone and expose you to ideas that have the potential to change the destiny of Athletes, the infra and the fans. For this the need of the hour is to have well developed platforms like Sporjo&#039;s Sports Hackathon that give a stage to people who want to go out there and make a dent in the universe of sport. Who knows the next unicorn creating value for the troika of athlete, infra and fan could be born out of this stage.&quot;


	 


	Mr. G. Srinivvasan, Founder &amp; CEO, Sporjo said, &quot;While the Indian Sports industry has been making rapid strides in the last decade, there are a lot of challenges that still exist. Hack for Sport was created with the aim to address these challenges and help develop the Indian sporting ecosystem through innovative solutions. The idea was not only to reward innovative thinking but also to explore newer technologies while nurturing young talent. Sporjo&#039;s key reason for existence is Sports Education, Employability &amp; Ecosystem development through technology. With Hack for Sport we were able create significant impact and engage with some of the brightest young minds in the country. I look forward to helping these participants grow by giving them all the tools necessary to take their ideas forward.&quot;


	 


	The top three sports entrepreneurial ideas walked away with a cash prize of 10 Lakhs along with invaluable access to Sporjo&#039;s cura ]]></description>

<title>NorthSide Announces Venture Incubator and Brand Builder Programs to Scale Brands in India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	As India is moving towards a USD 5T economy, building brands that drive consumption is a large opportunity with an estimated 5 lakh brands and 63M companies looking for expertise to scale up and compete effectively.


	 


	Traditionally, this space of brand-building services is occupied by specialised firms that offer a narrow scope of services, which makes brands hire many different firms to scale-up their brands. This is often an expensive exercise, which many new-age brands with a lean model are not able to afford.


	 


	NorthSide&#039;s venture incubator program focuses on startup brands. A school for startups, the program helps nurture the idea into a viable business by providing insights generation, positioning development, creative asset development, and e-commerce scale-up, all under one roof. The program is already running successfully, has helped over 25 companies, including the likes of The Job Plus and Jackfruit365, develop propositions and scale-up revenue.


	 


	NorthSide, helped Jackfruit365, Green Jackfruit Flour - a product that helps control blood sugar, and winner of the &quot;National Start-up award in 2021 in food processing&quot; reach the top three bestseller food status on Amazon. With a fully integrated build-operate-transfer model, NorthSide helped position the brand and executed the communication and marketing plans that enabled the brand to scale up its offering on e-commerce and D2C channels.


	 


	Commenting on the partnership with NorthSide, Jackfruit365 founder, James Joseph said, &quot;NorthSide helped us sharpen our brand proposition with a deep consumer insights research, which helped me to articulate our proposition in just 5 words to consumers and stakeholders. This helped us when we pitched for the National Startup Award. The marketing execution done by NorthSide helped us build our own D2C business and also become a bestseller in the large competitive food products category on Amazon. This is a great win for a start-up like ours. I would recommend the NorthSide venture incubator program to all startups.&quot;


	 


	The Brand Builder program from NorthSide helps identify category drivers and position a brand in a competitive context.


	 


	NorthSide also conceptualised and designed The Job Plus, India&#039;s first one-stop dedicated platform for the service-hospitality industry. The platform has redefined the industry by connecting employers, potential employees, and educational institutes creating a complete eco-system.


	 


	Natwar Nagar Founder of The Job Plus said, &quot;The platform conceptualized and designed by NorthSide is the fastest-growing service-hospitality platform in the country. Within 50 days, we have been able to onboard over 400 hotels, 100 restaurants, 10 educational institutes, and over 900 potential candidates. This is a huge win for us and the industry, which had been adversely impacted by COVID in the last two years.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Traditionally, entrepreneurship in India has been focused on manufacturing and select services, but there is a large opportunity in scaling up consumer brands. We take immense pride in highlighting that we have been successful in positioning and scaling up brands like Jackfruit365 and TheJobPlus, using our expertise-led brand builder program that helps position brands in a competitive market and our build-operate-transfer venture incubator program that helps in scaling up innovation,&quot; said Vidur Vyas, Founder, NorthSide. 


	 


	About NorthSide


	NorthSide is a brand accelerator and a venture incubator that helps brands start-up and scale-up in India by providing market intelligence, insights generation, positioning development, creative asset development, D2C, and e-commerce scale-up fully integrated under one roof.

	Being an accelerator, Marwari Catalysts has always been committed to providing significant opportunities for women to start and grow their businesses but very few are aware that the accelerator has also played a crucial role in redefining the future by building a work culture that embraces women, encourages them and grooms them to become future leaders.


				
		
	Pillars behind Marwari Catalysts


	Marwari Catalysts recognises the need for women to become equal participants in the workforce and breaks the gender ceiling by giving precedence to women.


	Collars in pink have set up a strong business foundation for Marwari Catalysts. As a result, MCats is a family of more than 60% of the workforce that have women on board and 35% portfolio startups led by women co-founders.


	 


	The accelerator ensures that women feel empowered at work by equipping them with the tools and opportunities to pursue and secure the senior leadership roles they so rightly deserve.


	&quot;A woman first is becoming a reality nowadays instead of fictional words. This era belongs to women, as they hold up half the sky.&quot;


	The corridors of power at Marwari Catalysts resonates with names mentioned below:


		
			Richa Sharma: Founding Member, Marwari Catalysts
	
	
		
			Anshu Jain: Digital Marketing Head
	
	
		
			CA Divya Chopra: Head of Finance

	Accelerate women, accelerate business


	Entrepreneurship is synonymous with empowerment in women. It is a wheel that has been set in motion. And Marwari Catalysts is proudly a part of this journey where we are lucky to not only have women led startups and women investors on board, but also a strong women workforce catalysing the change.


	 


	A strong believer of women equality, Sushil Sharma, Founder &amp; CEO, Marwari Catalysts, has always stood for the fact that women of today have changed the professional landscape of India with their spirit, optimism, confidence and determination. They have successfully concretised the new India, which is bold, willing to take risks and paved a way for the wind of &#039;change&#039;.


	 


	Sharing his rationale he says, &quot;At Marwari Catalysts, we have always believed that there is a very thriving women network and these women are Founders, Venture Capitalists, Angel Investors, Entrepreneurs, Intrapreneurs, Executives, and others, who represent an equal future in the Indian Startup Ecosystem.


	Today our employment figures speak for themselves, and this turns out to be a huge success and a great motivation for us to continue creating a wide leadership network for every woman to bridge the resources gap and to offer community support in order to ensure that they have a rightful place in the industry.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Women of today&#039;s date are becoming self-aware, commanding their needs and are building a strong women community for the startup ecosystem in Tier II &amp; Tier III cities in order to achieve their highest potential in order to be recognized, acknowledged, rewarded and respected,&quot; says Richa Sharma, Founding Member, Marwari Catalysts, CEO &amp; Founder at The Book Cafe. 


	 


	Richa believes that opportunities reach everyone, but it is up to us, how we take them to the right path and achieve our dreams.


	 


	Inculcating a strong sense of responsibility and helping women workforce getting an equitable working environment, Anshu Jain, Digital Marketing Head, Marwari Catalysts says, &quot;Today is the time when the need of the hour is to change the narrative and make every sphere of life gender inclusive. And startups, being considered as solution providers, have the power to fine tune the balance between tradition and change in a way that is empowering millions of women around the world and has therefore levelled the playing field for them. Also digital is the new normal and being a digital marketer, I believe that the 3 Cs: content, creativity and communication are the keys to innovation and positioning, thereby laying a strong foundation for a digital future. So the startup environment combined with the digital era is a great platform to address the market niches and for those who choose to embrace it, the opportunities are limitless.&quot;

	Somewhere down the line, one may feel that the main purpose of an accelerator is to only help early-stage startups scale up and raise funds, but looking at a broader picture, accelerators readies an ecosystem and has become the launchpads for the modern economy, beyond capital infusion, in today&#039;s date.


	In simpler words, they are the new king-makers for the startup industry and Y Combinator &amp; Techstars are a few good examples. Accelerators main purpose is to make the startups investor ready and that&#039;s why even the Angel Networks/VCs/Family Funds look forward to partnering with accelerated startups.


	 


	Accelerators have a global drive to trigger the growth and development of nations through innovations and creativity. Marwari Catalysts is therefore working with the same drive and with deep roots in India (Tier II &amp; Tier III cities) the team is passionate about investing in entrepreneurs who are poised to be tomorrow&#039;s global leaders.


	 


	As of today&#039;s date, Marwari Catalysts has built a portfolio of over 40+ startup companies since 2019 and continues to seek companies that are capturing new markets, providing innovative solutions and creating new wealth for India and beyond. Therefore, after the fund raise, Marwari Catalysts seeks to be a 100+ startup portfolio company.


	 


	&quot;The idea behind launching Marwari Catalysts was always to provide a strong accelerator network and build Indias most founder and investor friendly ecosystem as we believe that the main game relies on the founders and the founding team. So, today as we enter the next stage of our evolution, we feel that the financing milestone will be a testimony to our journey of innovation and disruption,&quot; says Sushil Sharma, Founder &amp; CEO, Marwari Catalysts.


	 


	Sharing his rationale, Ankur Mishra, Shareholder at Marwari Catalysts, Director - Central Academy says, &quot;We always knew that there are amazing skilled founders in Tier II-III cities, but investors don&#039;t get access to the A-grade startups. Marwari Catalysts has a progressive model which allows investors like us to participate with capital and knowledge to support the early growth stage startups in their journey from seed to beyond. We never know which idea goes on to become the next big story from India. Having built a very elite group of startup founders, we believe we have the access to some of the best opportunities in the early stage.&quot;


	 


	Backing more than 40+ homegrown startups with full/partial exits from 5+ startups, the primary concept of Marwari Catalysts is to invest in people and their ideas, whether with money, effort, or time. Honouring 2% of the total applications that they receive, the company is dedicated to transforming promising early-stage startup ideas into viable business concepts with a local, national and global effect.


	 


	With a passion towards professional community building, Richa Sharma, Founding Member at Marwari Catalysts &amp; a woman entrepreneur says, &quot;MCats has always focused on having a dedicated platform to empower women who are trying to break the glass ceiling by being a part of this startup ecosystem. End result being, approx 35% of our portfolio startups today, are led by women co-founders. Keeping the momentum going and promotin ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/multiply-ventures-announces-its-maiden-fund-of-rs-260-crore</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Multiply Ventures, an early-stage VC fund started by former Myntra, Flipkart, &amp; Paytm Executives, Raveen Sastry, Sanjay Ramakrishnan &amp; Bhushan Patil announces the closure of its maiden fund. A thesis-driven, domestic fund that specializes in investments in consumer tech, has raised Rs. 260 Crore for its maiden fund, a little above the targeted Rs. 250 Crore. The fund focuses on early-stage deals across 4 core sectors - Fintech, Edtech, Retail, and Health.


	 


				
		
	From L to R - Partners at Multiply - Sanjay, Raveen and Bhushan


	 


	The fund, earlier received its SEBI approval to launch the fund in 2020 and the fund completed its final close recently. The 3 Partners built a portfolio of 30 companies as angels before embarking on launching a structured fund. Some of the notable companies in the Pre-fund include Open Financial, DealShare, Gramophone, ShopKirana, Madstreet Den, and Skill Lync.


	 


	Sanjay Ramakrishnan, Partner at Multiply said, &quot;We are thesis-driven in our investment and the broad thesis is that -India will see the emergence of trusted brands that will improve access to quality education, transparent financial services, affordable healthcare &amp; authentic retail experiences. Technology will be a unifying catalyst across all sectors. We have a sub-thesis for each of the 4 sectors. The thesis is our governing framework and keeps evolving.&quot;


	 


	The majority of the investors are Indian family offices and digital-first entrepreneurs. 95% of the investors are from India. Multiply Ventures has invested in 15 companies to date and plans to invest in 8 to 10 more startups in the next 12 months. Some of the portfolio companies include- Nova Benefits, upswing, Freed, Bharat X in fintech, Nutty Yogi, Iluvia, in sustainable consumer space, Jovian, &amp; clever Harvey in Edtech, &amp; OneCare &amp; Being in Health.


	 


	&quot;We are on our path to setting up an operational VC firm, joining hands with Startups as extended partners, which is essential for the Indian ecosystem. While the digital ecosystem has evolved locally, many innovations across sectors will come from early-stage startups which will need support beyond the capital. The right selection, getting in early, and building for larger consumer segments have proven to get the best impact and investment returns for us and we will continue to build on this,&quot; said Bhushan Patil, Partner at Multiply.


	 


	&quot;For example, today over the 1 trillion dollar Fintech economy, we are still just scratching the surface. We are witnessing many nascent stage startups across sectors like infrastructure, credit, digitizing BFSI products, building tech-led distribution, identity systems for mass adoption, financial literacy, and inclusion. All these need expertise from the core BFSI domain, global digitization models/methods, how-to&#039;s of building a brand, customer trust, expert views about compliance &amp; regulations, and most importantly awareness of the unit economics to build profitable businesses. We as a team bring these much earlier in the business life cycles of the startups we are bringing under our portfolio,&quot; adds Bhushan who leads the fintech investment practice at Multiply. 


	 


	Multiply Ventures will invest very early, and ideally, be the 1st institutional investor, and in most cases lead the round. Our average 1st cheque is 4 Cr and we will invest up to 20 Cr in efficiently run business till series - A. Beyond capital, the Multiply team brings in decades of digital space experience &amp; connects from both domestic and global markets. &quot;My experience of building Myntra, Hoopos &amp; Nudgespot as a Founder, Bhushan&#039;s experience at Paytm, Alibaba, and Yahoo in product, cross-border commerce &amp; fintech, and Sanjay&#039;s experience in consumer marketing across Google, Myntra, Flipkart &amp; Ogilvy is what we bring to the table beyond capital and loads of empathy,&quot; said Raveen Sastry, Partner at Multiply Ventures.


	 


	The fund&#039;s vision is to be one of Indias most impactful early-stage VC funds over the next 5 years. If a majority of the good founding teams in the country have Multiply in their consideration set when they raise their seed round, it will be a good start for the fund.


	 


	About Multiply Ventures


	Multiply Ventures is a SEBI registered AIF in India, operating from Bangalore, the startup hub of India. The fund is thesis-driven &amp; sector-focused and invests in startups focusing on the Indian consumers across -fintech, retail, health, and edtech.


	 


	The core tenant is to invest very early and be the 1st institutional cheque and in the majority of them be the lead investor. Pre-seed/Seed is the focus and the fund will be investing till Series A in companies that are growing efficiently. 


	 


	The team brings in a collective experience of over 60 years as operators in consumer tech companies and that is a space the team understands well, so the decision to focus on consumer t ]]></description>

<title>Provilac Announces the Launch of Lactose&#45;free Cow Milk in India</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/provilac-announces-the-launch-of-lactose-free-cow-milk-in-india</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/provilac-announces-the-launch-of-lactose-free-cow-milk-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Provilac, one of the fastest-growing neo-age premium milk delivery firms in India, announces the launch of lactose-free cow milk. Currently, standing at an annual turnover of 50 Cr., the Angel-funded start-up is planning to massively expand its milk offering. With this launch, Provilac is looking to capture a 10-20 percent market share of the lactose-free milk industry, estimated to be around 350-400 Cr., in the next 2-3 years.


	 


	Lactose-free milk is a huge addition to the company&#039;s already existing portfolio of milk and its byproducts. Provilac is already serving 20,000 households in Pune, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. The company, being a completely tech-enabled start-up, is revolutionizing the dairy industry with its state of the art tech platform, its cold supply chain that helps manage the integrity of milk, and the state-of-the-art farms.


	 


	Mr. Siddharth Runwal, CEO of Provilac, said, &quot;While there are many players in the business of selling milk, our approach and outlook towards our operations is what truly sets us apart. Milk by nature is highly perishable, thus, keeping it from splitting during the transit, without adding chemical preservatives is a challenge. Maintaining that integrity of milk while transit, without the use of preservatives, is what we have cracked at Provilac. Our focus has always been on innovating and coming up with specialized milks, with all its natural goodness, readily available for the ever-changing customer need. And, the introduction of our lactose-free milk is a testimony to that.&quot;


	 


	In recent years, lactose, a form of sugar excessively found in cow milk, intolerance and its implications for the human body have emerged as a noticeable area of concern. According to a national newspaper study in 2020, a staggering 60-65 percent of the Indian populace was found sensitive to lactose-a growing problem that further causes bloating, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps among others.


	To promote nutrition and sustenance, Provilac has created a lactose-free variant of cow milk that can be enjoyed by all, especially those with a sensitive digestive system. By adding a catalytic enzyme named &#039;lactase&#039;, which breaks down lactose into glucose, the team of experts at Provilac was able to make the cow milk lactose free without jeopardizing the integrity of the product. At a time, when pediatricians have stopped endorsing milk as part of a natural diet, Provilac, by the virtue of its state-of-the-art farm and advanced infrastructure, has heralded a major change in the industry by offering top-quality variants including the likes of A2 milk, homogenized milk, buffalo milk, lactose-free milk, and soon-to-be-launched sugar-free milk.


	About Provilac


	Established in 2013, the company, boasting of a healthy YOY growth, has thrived on its philosophy of doing whats right. While others are doing different things, the reputable milk delivery organization is doing things differently. Right from following stringent procedures at their fully automated plant (planned and designed as per the International Dairy Standards) to delivering the milk to customers within 12 hours of being milked, Provilac continues to deliver on its promise of pure, nutritious and unadulterated products.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Unwind Mind announces the closing of its pre-seed funding round, wherein it raises Rs. 2 Cr. at a Valuation of Rs. 15 Cr. with participation from strategic investors, including Yogesh Chaudhary and Marwari Catalysts.


	 


				
		
	Surendra Rajpurohit, Founder and CEO, Unwind Mind with Sushil Sharma, Founder and CEO, Marwari Catalysts


	 


	Unwind Mind is a D2C venture aiming to enter into D2C fashion brands. Further, the startup will use the funding to aid and enter into the D2C fashion super-specialized category to become the market leader.


	 


	The D2C ecosystem in India is growing exponentially due to factors like increasing first-time internet users and evolving consumers expectations, who are willing to experiment with new products and prefer personalized and direct engagement with brands.


	 


	In this context, Surendra Rajpurohit, Founder &amp; CEO of Unwind Mind, says, &quot;Indias D2C (Direct-to-consumer) market has been buoyant due to several successful startups, and the sector is poised to become a $100 billion addressable market by 2025. In addition, the pandemic has accentuated the need for the D2C way of doing business. This has contributed to the emergence of horizontal and vertical e-commerce players, social media marketing, and logistics options.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Moreover, we anticipate robust consolidation activity in the D2C ecosystem in the upcoming years as the Millennials are coming up with exceptional ideas ready to disrupt the traditional market. Our purpose at Unwind Mind is to revolutionize the D2C space by scaling promising D2C brands by involving tech support and industry expertise.&quot;


	 


	Sharing his viewpoint on the emerging D2C ecosystem, Sushil Sharma, the Founder &amp; CEO of Marwari Catalysts, says, &quot;Our experience in consumer tech has been remarkable after two portfolio startup acquisitions in consumer-tech categories in the past one year, and were very bullish about the industry.&quot;


	 


	He further states, &quot;The robust Internet ecosystem and evolving customer acquisitions strategies have made new business models viable and have led to the emergence of the direct-to-consumer (D2C) distribution channel. Today, India is witnessing the rise of D2C brands across categories, and the market is expected to flourish exponentially in the coming years. In addition, we expect high levels of funding activity in this space, increasing over time, as more successful D2C outcomes will validate the hypothesis for newer capital deployment.&quot;


	 


	Commenting on the investment, Yogesh Chaudhary, the Founder of Jaipur Rugs, and Investor, Unwind Mind, says, &quot;India is definitely making a mark with the tremendous D2C disruption. With the pandemic accelerating the digital transformation and triggering the D2C/eCommerce turning point, Indian startups have been given a wider field to grow their customer base through digital penetration, followed by offering a diverse yet solution-based product portfolio.&quot;  


	 


	He further adds, &quot;The potential of the D2C market in India will only continue to grow, and Unwind Mind is well-positioned to effectively tap this industry while helping brands scale.&quot;


	 


	The journey towards growth..


	It is encouraging to see the immense growth of the D2C business model over the years. This year, we expect D2C businesses to gain momentum, expanding niche categories, new entrants, and positive investments from investors. As we look ahead, D2C brands will continue to flourish, with leading brands also launching their digital-first arms. And technology and innovation will be key to building impactful brands as the market evolves.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/online-schools-harbouring-the-next-talent-reservoirs-of-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	To call a spade a spade, online schools harbour a talent reserve and simultaneously devote time to honing the precocious skills of students so that they can make a name for themselves in the world.


	 


				
		
	Starmaa, super singer junior


	 


	Recently, ed-tech start-up The Class of One&#039;s student, D. Saaveri, participated in Star Maa&#039;s singing reality show, Super Star Singer where she was showered with praises for her mellifluous voice and exceptional vocals by musical legend K S Chitra.


	 


	It shows a symbolic picture of how online schools have reshaped the educationist trajectory in India. A gulf of opportunities is lying at the end spectrum, which is not restricted to the spherical ambit of bookish knowledge. Online schools have greatly dabbled in exploring and exploiting the full talent potential of students from a young age and provide them with a platform for the same.


	 


	It has come out as a parallel eduniverse that is dedicated to developing and enhancing their artistic prowess and making a career out of their passion.


	 


	Similarly, TCO1 has a dedicated holistic talent boost programme to cover various types of talents and focus on strengthening each of them. It is a normative practice in TCO1 to push the boundaries of children and drive them to supersede their potential.


	 


	Divya Jain, Founder, TCO1, said, &quot;The TCO1 has always given equal importance to nurturing the artistic and creative talents of children and encouraging them to upskill themselves. The Class of One has always adopted a flexible approach to motivate students to explore and dabble in multiple interests. Saaveri&#039;s precocious singing talent has always been uplifted and honed by teachers, and we feel proud that she has come a long way and achieved so much at a tender age.&quot;


	 


	Online schools are revolutionary nodal centres of knowledge and idea exchange, escalating students&#039; interests. It has, over the years, garnered a gamut of talent that has found the right support leading them to become overnight successes.

<title>Superplum Designs and Rolls out India&amp;apos;s First Modern Litchi Supply Chain</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/superplum-designs-and-rolls-out-indias-first-modern-litchi-supply-chain</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/superplum-designs-and-rolls-out-indias-first-modern-litchi-supply-chain</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	India proudly wears the crown of being the largest producer of litchi in the world, with Bihar topping the states in terms of production. In 2018, Shahi Litchis from Bihars Muzzafarpur district became the fourth agricultural product from the state to receive GI certification.  


				
		
	Superplum, First Modern Litchi


	However, transporting litchi is difficult due to its low shelf life. In 2013 alone, the total loss in the litchi supply chain ranged from 35.3% to 43.8% - a true tragedy for this tastiest of fruits. This still stands true even though consumer demand for the fleshy fruit remains high.   


	Now, Superplum, an Indian Agritech company, has built the country&#039;s first modern supply chain to deliver fresh litchis from farms in Muzzafarpur to all over the country. For the first time in India, litchis are being chilled, trimmed, cleaned and packed at the farm level to retain freshness. They are then transported using Superplums Fresherator, a proprietary IoT-based transport system that keeps the fruits fresh in an environment that can be remotely monitored and controlled.   


	In the past, some litchis would go through a sulphitation process to increase their shelf life but this process made the fruit unfit to consume, due to which it has been banned in several countries. With a promise to deliver safe-to-eat fruits, Superplum employs science and technology to increase the shelf life of litchis through a proprietary multi-faceted approach. 


	While these Muzzafarpur Litchis are currently being delivered to stores and homes in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Bengaluru, the company plans to expand their delivery across the country and the world.


	About Superplum


	Superplum, a start-up backed by some of Silicon Valleys most notable investors, has been addressing Indian agricultures endemic issues since 2020 by building the countrys most sophisticated supply chain for fresh produce. The company works with farmers across India to ensure product quality right from the source. Their fruits are delivered to over 350 stores in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, including Spar, Lulu Hypermarket and Star Bazaar, among other local retail shops. With a fully digitised system, each product is fully traceable from farm to the consumer via a QR code seamlessly integrated into their vibrant packaging.

Limited is a B2B EdTech company that focuses on the core of India&#039;s K-12 education system by helping affordable schools bridge the digital gap through an innovative technology platform. The company has a firm belief that when knowledge is infused with technology, it makes one grow beyond boundaries.

	Team Saarthi Pedagogy Pvt. Limited


	 


	How it started


	Mr. Agarwal, a dedicated educator, has personally spent 10 years in building and running schools. He was the proud owner of two successful and technologically advanced schools in Ahmedabad. He with his team developed their pedagogy methods, textbooks, and learning management system to improve the learning outcomes of students in these schools. He wanted to take the benefits they received in his schools by AI-backed LMS to other schools and wanted to create an impact in society by delivering higher learning outcomes.


	 


	This led to the formation of Saarthi Pedagogy. It is being led by a team of professionals with experience in the educational field to overcome the educational challenges of deriving a &#039;Learning Outcome&#039; with the help of technology and a pedagogical approach.


	 


	How to ensure the &#039;Learning Outcome&#039; has been achieved This question made the team &#039;Saarthi&#039; find ways to provide &#039;Curriculum-based learning resources, not limited to textbooks&#039;.


	 


	They have both online and offline products, which include physical kits, STEM kits for students, textbooks, masks, stickers, and games to make learning fun and interactive.


	 


	They have developed an application for teachers in addition to students. The app assists teachers in creating lesson plans, searching supportive videos, tracking attendance, and creating periodic plans, saving them a significant amount of time.


	 


	Saarthi Pedagogy is a SaaS-based learning resource provider. It is a product of years of research and experimentation on solving the pain points of teachers, students, parents and school management. It provides mentoring and training solutions for developing presentation and analytics skills in students besides giving 360 degrees learning solutions like student management, staff management, performance analysis, and others. It is a B2B focused edtech startup offering a product that blends school curriculum, technology, teacher training, and pedagogy on a single platform. It has been seen that technology enables the identification of the tiniest data points, which as result helps to fill the gaps in teaching and learning.


	 


	Recently, Saarthi pedagogy has raised Rs. 16 Cr. as a part of its pre-series. The funds have been demarcated for product enhancement, the ramp-up of the technology team, content creation, and expansion of the sales footprint. In August 2021, Saarthi Pedagogy closed its first seed round of USD 1 M and witnessed 10X growth since then. The startup has been targeting the USD 25 billion market of mid-sized schools in India.


	 


	In the coming fiscal, it is planning to reach out to 4000 schools and touch the lives of 600000 students with its technology-enabled platforms. This initiative will not only improve the learning outcome of their regular education but also eliminate the need for after-school tuition classes, which in return will save thousands of rupees and valuable time for the students.


	 


	Saarthi&#039;s aim has always been to improve the learning outcome of every student irrespective of their family background across India. In this endeavour, the highly-efficient Saarthi team is leaving no stone unturned with their hard work and perseverance.

	While 80% of the world&#039;s turmeric is grown in India, the country only exports 8-10% of the yield due to stringent export standards requiring more than 4.5% of curcumin content. The turmeric produced by A S Agri is consistent in quality, variety, growing method, and contains levels of curcumin suitable for export - giving access to a huge international market. The company strongly supports and advocates NDA Government led by the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#039;s vision and campaigns of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India, Vocal for Local and Startup India.


	 


	Mr. Pandurang Taware, Founder, Agri Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC) shared, &quot;A S AGRI, with its immense expertise has given the much-needed confidence to the farmers to start their own Agri Eco Horti tourism centres. Coupled with vertical farming clusters, the new projects will definitely play an important role in future food production of the country.&quot;


	 


	The company has also announced the state-of-the-art Vertical Farming cluster projects under its aegis which is slowly gaining momentum amongst groups of farmers, farmer cooperatives, investors looking at buying land in rural Maharashtra and more alike. A S AGRI AND AQUA LLP offers the B-O-B i.e., Build-Operate-Buyback Model, wherein we handle construction, operations, maintenance, production, and buyback. &quot;We&#039;re seeing good reception so far with this model with more than 1500 projects running and this is only going to grow in the coming years with the cluster projects being announced which will benefit lacs of farmers,&quot; Dr. Zade shared.


	 


	A S AGRI AND AQUA LLP, a pioneer in hi-tech soil-based vertical farming technology recently supported and participated in the much-loved Maha Utsav held at the ND Studios founded by Ace Art Director Nitin Desai to create awareness on the revolutionary production of Turmeric through Vertical Farming methods. The AS Agris vertical farming display was the highlight of the 4-day extravaganza. &quot;We are sponsoring community events and also showcasing our products and services at Agri-Tech exhibitions all over the country. Our team is also interacting and conducting sensitization meetings with villagers, farmer communities, community leaders, activists, and high-profile personalities. There&#039;s a long way to go but we are going to keep giving our best efforts,&quot; he further adds.

Founders will engage in a 12-week training and mentorship program designed to validate their startup ideas and bring a proof-of-concept to life.

<title>Transport Mall to Revolutionise Driver Dhabas to keep Truckers Safe and Stress&#45;free</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/transport-mall-to-revolutionise-driver-dhabas-to-keep-truckers-safe-and-stress-free</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/transport-mall-to-revolutionise-driver-dhabas-to-keep-truckers-safe-and-stress-free</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Transport Mall has become India&#039;s first company to aggregate Driver Dhabas across the country&#039;s highways with the purpose of providing safe and comfortable lodging and food options for commercial vehicle owners, especially truck drivers.


	 


				
		
	Team Transport Mall


	 


	India&#039;s National Highways span a distance of around 1,50,000 km. Along the entire stretch, the dhabas where truck drivers can eat and stay are far and few. Some of these outlets have also become unsafe, often exposing drivers to theft, robbery, and physical harm. This also results in drivers not getting enough nutrition and rest. This increases their dependency on intoxicants and can lead to delays in delivery and in worse cases life-threatening accidents.


	 


	Introducing the &#039;Driver Dhaba&#039; 


	Transport Mall, a startup in the transport sector, solves this problem with the launch of their new service - Driver Dhaba - a mobile app that lets drivers find Dhabas on their routes conveniently and quickly. Transport Mall has aggregated 1,000 Dhabas in 12 states so far after grading, verifying, and certifying them on the basis of strenuous checks.


	 


	The dhabas are categorised into four categories - Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Take Away. The categories are given on the basis of the facilities that these dhabas provide such as CCTV, parking, restrooms, quality food, and security guards for the safety of the vehicles. While this is just the start, the idea is to provide safer Dhabas with amenities and conveniences of the highest standard to commercial vehicle drivers across the country within the next year.


	 


	How to use &#039;Driver Dhaba&#039; 


	The Driver Dhaba service is available for free on Transport Malls mobile app. After downloading the app, the driver has to navigate to the Dhaba service, following which he can search for the right Dhaba by entering his location. The app will help him locate and reach his destination. Besides, the driver can also check the list of Dhabas certified by Transport Mall on the relevant routes before starting his journey. Hundreds of drivers are already availing this facility. 


	 


	Moninder Singh, CEO, Transport Mall, said, &quot;This initiative will help improve the conditions and facilities provided by highway Dhabas in India. Drivers will be able to sleep peacefully, there will be fewer accidents on the roads, and the safety of the vehicles will be guaranteed.&quot; Further, he added, &quot;The drivers, as well as the owners, can look forward to ease of doing business.&quot;


	 


	About Transport Mall


	Transport Mall is Indias first full-stack, social commerce platform launched by Moninder Singh in 2020 for commercial vehicle owners. Transport Mall helps CVOs bridge the industry gap by providing them with relevant and reliable information via Transport TV, Transport Mall app, safe and quick motor insurance for their vehicles, a network of safe to stay Dhabas in 12 different states, and a unique TV helpline for providing guidance and resolutions to various trade-related issues. Based out of Punjab, Transport Malls vision is to fill gaps in the transportation sector by providing real time-solution to the problems of missing roadside amenities for truckers and increase CVO profitability.

The car servicing network will provide a seamless experience right from booking of service to hourly updates on service to timely delivery. MyCarMistry.com has also tied up with OEMs of all the leading car brands to ensure that only the genuine quality parts are used. The real differentiator of MCM standards is that it will take only the required service actions to keep service costs in check without compromising on the quality of the ride.


	MyCarMistry.com is a start-up promoted by Rahul Tyagi, a software engineer and a car enthusiast who decided to take an entrepreneur plunge in an area of his passion after trying traditional career choices. He rigorously worked in car workshops to have hands-on experience in this industry.


	Rahul Tyagi, Founder, MyCarMistry.com said, &quot;What started as my passion has now taken institutional form in the shape of MyCarMistry.com. We have an opportunity to completely reshape India&#039;s automobile service market. We will set new benchmarks in quality of service, cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction. I am confident that in the next ten years Indian car servicing sector will catch up with global standards and MCM will be the catalyst in this journey.&quot;


	MyCarMistry.com will focus on Delhi NCR for the next two years and plan to expand its network to 20 service workshops. During this period MCM will also test its tier-II cities business model in cities like Raipur etc. MCM has built its business model by servicing around 15,000 cars over the last 3 years. The confidence in its success stems from the fact that 70% of its customer come back to MCM for car servicing. 


	In the Indian car servicing industry currently, there are players at two ends of a spectrum - on one end are the service workshops of car manufacturers that offer quality service but generally at a steep cost and on the other end are the unorganised players who are unable to maintain consistent quality of service. Over the years, some players entered this space but due to a lack of understanding of this business, could not arrive at an optimal balance of quality and cost of service. MyCarMistry.com through its more than 3 years of hands-on service experience has arrived at a business model that will be a win-win for both MCM and car owners.


	About MyCarMistry

<title>Climate Angels Fund Partners with GoMassive to Launch ZeSUP Challenge &#45; the Zero Single&#45;use Plastic Challenge for Startups</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/climate-angels-fund-partners-with-gomassive-to-launch-zesup-challenge-the-zero-single-use-plastic-challenge-for-startups</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/climate-angels-fund-partners-with-gomassive-to-launch-zesup-challenge-the-zero-single-use-plastic-challenge-for-startups</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Sustainability-focused Climate tech fund, Climate Angels has joined forces with GoMassive for its one-of-its-kind ZeSUP Challenge - the Zero Single-use Plastic Challenge for startups who are leading the fight against single-use plastics in the F&amp;B industry. Under this unique initiative, Climate Angels will collaborate with GoMassive to accelerate startups in India for the next 6 months to pilot their solutions to reduce single-use plastic waste. The selected startups will get project and startup funding from a pool of USD 500,000, dedicated mentorship and technical assistance for the project, securing partnerships with F&amp;B partners to pilot solutions, and deep learning and network-building opportunities.


				
		
	Climate Angels


	This challenge is implemented by The Incubation Network and funded by the PREVENT Waste Alliance, an initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and ECCA Family Foundation. It is part of PREVENT&#039;s Innovate &amp; PREVENT program. GoMassive has been chosen as an Entrepreneur Support Organization (ESO) by The Incubation Network and is working with partners like The Beer Cafe in India to overcome the challenges faced by the F&amp;B industry.


	&quot;We are really excited to launch this unique challenge to support early-stage companies who are championing the cause of sustainability and working on reducing single-use plastic waste. This will greatly help them to overcome key challenges such as lack of collaborative industry partners, underdeveloped value chains, and complex policy and regulatory frameworks. The F&amp;B industry relies heavily on Single-Use Plastics for its needs and the outcomes of this endeavor will certainly bring viable solutions to tackle the menace in the long run,&quot; said Mr. Shailesh Vickram Singh, Founder of Climate Angels.


	The demand for packaging in the Food &amp; Beverage (F&amp;B) Industry, particularly Single-use Plastics (SUPs), is dominated by polystyrene and other types of hard-to-recycle plastics, including flexibles (films, sachets, and more). By 2025, these are projected to make up more than 70% of the market for food packaging in South and Southeast Asia. Moreover, the food-service industry heavily utilizes single-use packaging, from the purchase of food supplies to preparation and for off-premises food services such as deliveries, drive-throughs, and takeaways. Being entirely reliant on their supply chains, the sector is unaccustomed to working with alternative solutions for conventional plastics or circular reuse/refill models developed by early-stage companies. The ZeSUP Challenge will aim at finding solutions to these and related problems in the industry.


	The insights derived from their pilots will contribute to a study around understanding the environmental impacts of alternative solutions to single-use plastic packaging. The results will be outlining the environmental considerations associated with single-use replacement business models and the opportunities to reduce negative impacts or recognize carbon savings, relative to virgin plastic production.


	 


	About Climate Angels
	Climate Angels is a SEBI CAT I investment fund focused on creating a sustainable future by exclusively focusing on companies working in Pollution Reduction/Climate Change space. The network invests in start-ups working in Clean Energy, Clean Mobility, Clean Water, Clean Food &amp; Clean Cities sectors.

<title>Ed&#45;tech Startup Camp K12 Launches Hatch Kids: Metaverse and AR/VR Creation Platform for Kids</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/ed-tech-startup-camp-k12-launches-hatch-kids-metaverse-and-arvr-creation-platform-for-kids</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 
		
			With 1.1M+ users in 150+ countries, achieved in the last 5 months organically, pre-launch
	
	
		
			Hatch Kids enables students aged 6-18 to build 3D games, AR/VR apps, and immersive Metaverse experiences without prior coding or design experience
	

	 


	Camp K12, an ed-tech startup building a global online school for 21st-century skills, today announced the launch of Hatch Kids, its very own Metaverse and AR/VR creation platform for young learners.


	 


				
		
	Students from the US, India, and SE Asia using &quot;Hatch Kids&quot; to create 3D/AR/VR experiences and run them on a range of devices, including their iPads, VR headsets (Oculus/Meta), school Chromebooks and personal laptops


	 


	Camp K12 originally built the Hatch Kids platform for use in its own programming courses, but after witnessing strong demand from educators and students while working with early partners, it is now opening up the platform for any organization to use free of cost, along with free AR/VR curriculum modules for teachers to use in the classroom or in online workshops.


	 


	


	Introducing &quot;Hatch Kids&quot; - Metaverse and AR/VR Coding Platform for Kids


	 


	Product Launch Video: youtu.be/JfKf7inApoM.


	 


	Over the past 6 months, Hatch Kids has grown organically to 1.1M+ users across 150 countries via school, government, and ed-tech partnerships, with 75% of the consumption coming from US and Canada. Other top geographies include UK, Australia, and India. Students have created 3.6M+ projects on the platform to date, in the classroom and beyond.


	 


	Speaking about Hatch&#039;s vision, Camp K12&#039;s Co-founder and CEO, Anshul Bhagi, said, &quot;There are 100m+ kid coders out there today using a variety of free coding platforms to learn coding by building games and apps. These platforms are incredibly effective and set the stage for the kids coding movement starting in 2007, however the vast majority of them are restricted to 2D project creation, built for the age of smartphones and flat screens. As technologies like AR and VR go mainstream, we need to upgrade the tools that kids learn on and that educators teach on for modern-day use cases and content formats. We built Hatch as a kids coding platform for the age of the Metaverse. We want to give 100M+ young kids their first AR/VR creation experience and the self-confidence to be builders in the inevitable Mixed Reality future rather than passive consumers of it.&quot;


	 


	Hatch Kids makes it possible for students spanning ages 6 to 18 to create 3D, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences with ease, in an age where kids are captivated by 3D games like Roblox and Minecraft and yet the mainstream kids coding platforms are still restricted to 2D project creation.


	 


	Hatch Kids supports all K-12 age groups and experience levels. Younger students and first-time coders can start using a visual, blocks-based programming environment, then graduate to programming advanced 3D applications using JavaScript. Students can instantly publish and share their creations to millions of supported devices, including iPads, smartphones, professional VR headsets, laptops &amp; desktops via a simple QR code scan or a link share.


	 


	The government of Delhi started using the Hatch Kids platform in January 2022 to teach programming in government school classrooms, in the process of transforming its students into some of the youngest Metaverse creators anywhere in the world. The platform is also being used by 100+ schools and ed-tech companies in North America, Middle East, India, and Europe to make AR/VR creation accessible for kids. In December, Hatch Kids was featured on Code.org (a global coding platform with 70M+ kid coders) as an &quot;Hour of Code&quot; activity and today has grown to be the #1 most popular activity for students from Grades 6 - 8 and the #3 most popular activity overall in the Code.org partner ecosystem.


	 


	The team expects 2M+ MAUs by December 2022, powered by both direct-to-student consumption, as well as partnerships with 1500+ schools, ed-tech, and additional government bodies worldwide by year-end. 


	 


	About Hatch Kids (kids.hatchxr.com)


	Hatch Kids is a free online 3D creation platform for kids that empowers students aged 6 - 18 to design, code and publish 3D games, Augmented Reality (AR) apps, interactive Virtual Reality (VR) worlds, and Metaverse experiences without any prior design or coding experience.


	 


	Hatch Kids is also an education platform. Educators, organizations, and parents can use Hatch to teach Coding and other STEM subjects to kids in the most immersive manner (kids learn best when they are engaged, and nothing is more engaging for a child than the act of creating 3D worlds he/she can walk around in and share with friends).
