Official Launch of AIC NITTE Incubation Centre
Speaking of the event, Mr. R. Ramanan enlightened the audiences with remarkable insights and shared the vision of Atal Incubation Centres and the road ahead. “Incubators are one of the important pillars of Atmanirbhar Bharat. With 1.3 billion people in India and more than 1.4 million schools, 10,500 engineering and related institutions, and 39,000 colleges spread across 715 districts, more than 150 million students will be entering the workplace over the next 5-10 years.” he shared.
He further added that it is very important to provide these young students and budding innovators an opportunity to be able to exercise and unveil their creative potential, their thirst and passion for coming up with innovative solutions for solving an existing problem that they see, or for improvising upon a solution that they think is necessary in existing solutions that are already there. In order to make this happen, Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) is launching several initiatives to leverage the demographic dividend the country has.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri. Vinaya Hegde, Chancellor NITTE (Deemed-to-be-university), highlighted the need for setting up a world-class incubation centre in a rural area like Nitte for promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship among young men and women of the region. He thanked Mr. R. Ramanan and NITI Aayog for supporting AIC NITTE Incubation Centre.
A Special Edition of Asia Inc. 500 Magazine on ‘Fostering Digital Advancements in India’ was launched in the presence of Mr. Ramanan and Mr. Vinaya Hegde by Mr. Raghavendra Hunasgi, Global Convener of Asia Inc. 500.

Mr. Hunasgi also introduced 6 phenomenal mentors who will be guiding these budding entrepreneurs at every stage of their start-up life-cycle.
