We hope it is both bark and bite (that the idea catches and results in young entrepreneurs getting the support they need in an an otherwise very old school economic culture that would definitely benefit from more startups) and will track it; but for now, fyi:

Who we are

Startup Village is a technology business incubator in Kochi and it is India’s first incubator that is funded jointly by the public and private sector. The promoters of Startup Village are Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, Technopark Trivandrum and MobME Wireless. Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-founder of Infosys and the most successful IT entrepreneur from Kerala, is the chief mentor at Startup Village.

What we do

Startup Village aims to launch 1,000 start-ups over the next 10 years and start the search for the next billion-dollar Indian company. We will create an ecosystem that promotes innovation and provides a platform for youngsters to create cutting-edge technology. Our focus is on student start-ups and telecom innovation.
