Digitalisation to bring technology start-ups, entrepreneurs, SMEs on one platform

Digitalisation is inevitable for the progress and growth of SMEs, feels Kerala Startup Mission

The Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) is all set to launch a project to support digitization of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by connecting them to technology startups that have developed cost-effective solutions to meet their needs. Kerala Startup Mission is the nodal agency of the Kerala government for entrepreneurship development and incubation activities in the state.

The project also aims at bringing technology start-ups entrepreneurs, tech-savvy industrialists and SMEs on a one-stop platform.

The project will be inaugurated at Uralungal Cyberpark (UL Cyberpark), Kozhikode, in the second week of March. As part of the project, KSUM will be organising a Startup-SME Conclave on the sidelines of the inaugural event.

Connecting start-ups with SMEs

John M Thomas, CEO, Kerala Startup Mission, said the KSUM is extending a helping hand to SMEs through the project. “Digitalisation is inevitable for the progress and growth of SMEs. Through the project, Kerala Startup Mission lends a helping hand to the Small and Medium Enterprises to afford technology without causing huge financial liability during its implementation. It gives immense scope for startups that correctly realise the requirement of industries and deliver products/services at the right time,” Thomas said.

“There are many startups in our ecosystem that offer innovative services and products to Small and Medium Enterprises in Kerala and outside. This project will connect start-ups with the enterprises looking for viable and cost-effective solutions,” he said.

Startup-SME Conclave soon

The Startup-SME Conclave will feature an exhibition of products and services developed by startups exclusively for the SME sector. Technology experts in the SME sector will lead sessions at the conclave, where industrialists, who have effectively implemented digitalisation in the Small and Medium Enterprises sector, will share their experience.

Startups providing services or technology products that enable the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises can take part in the expo. Selected startups will get opportunities to interact with industrialists and industry body representatives.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict.
