As Deep Tech Startups Boom, Kerala Is Poised To Be The Next AI Hub

The startup ecosystem in Kerala has taken off in terms of the latest developments and incubations across the state. With Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) playing a key role in identifying young talent and nurturing their entrepreneurial dreams, the startup ecosystem has received a major impetus with Kochi emerging as a hub for deep tech companies. One of the primary reason for its success in developing a growing startup ecosystem is its interlinking of colleges, incubators, government institutes and startups. By focussing on developing entrepreneurial skills at the grassroots level and fostering a DIY (do-it-yourself) culture in schools, in addition to mentoring through various innovation and entrepreneurship development cell in colleges, the state government has successfully brought all the stakeholders under one roof. Added to this, is the policy changes that it adopted leading to a massive boost for the startup growth in the state.
