Over the past few weeks, TOI conducted the first phase of our Technovate for India programme – in association with startup ecosystem builder Talrop – in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telangana. The objective of the campaign, which we will do across 35 states & Union territories over an 18-month period, is to encourage students to digitally skill themselves and to use that knowledge to build startups that solve big problems. Talrop, as the company’s COO Jones Joseph said at these events, has been doing some unique projects in Kerala in association with schools and colleges, and believes the models can be extended across the country. He said their school projects are designed to ignite curiosity in students. In colleges, they are building tech hubs where companies can come and interact with students to help them understand what industry needs. They are creating a pool of mentors, setting up funds for startups. “We are building an ecosystem that will reduce the failure rate of a startup,” Joseph said.
