    BoostMyTalent: Transforming Career Counseling and Higher Education from the Heart of the Himalayas

    BoostMyTalent, Indias first EdTech platform born in Devbhumi Uttarakhand, is redefining Career Counseling by providing personalized guidance, transparent college comparisons, financial assistance, and guaranteed placement support for students pursuing MBA, MCA, M.Tech, B.Tech, BBA, BCA, and other professional courses.

    Unlock Your Potential with BoostMyTalent: Get Expert Admission Counseling for Regular & Online Colleges, Unbiased Course Comparisons, and 100% Placement Support with Our Counseling

    With a student-first approach, BoostMyTalent addresses the misleading rankings, inflated placement claims, and lack of clarity in college admissions that leave many students confused about their educational choices. By offering one-on-one counselling, unbiased college insights, and structured career planning, the platform ensures that students make informed, financially sound, and career-driven decisions.

    Identifying the Problem: Why BoostMyTalent Was Created

    For years, students seeking admission to professional courses have struggled with multiple challenges regarding Collegeselection, availability of Scholarships, Education loans, and the viability of Job Placements. The challenges they face include:

    • Unverified and misleading rankings that prioritize college marketing over actual student benefits.

    • Lack of transparency in college placements, with exaggerated salary figures and misleading employment statistics.

    • High tuition fees and application costs often leave students burdened with unnecessary loans.

    • Lack of Right Criteria to select specialization across different courses leads to poor career outcomes.

    “We realized that students dont need another ranking website or an information portal focused on lead generation for colleges. They need a platform that genuinely guides them through the complexities of admissions, finances, and placements-one that is driven by facts, not marketing hype. And thats how BoostMyTalent was born,”– Sandesh Sharma, Founder & CEO, BoostMyTalent.

    Overcoming Challenges to Build a Startup in Rishikesh

    While the vision for BoostMyTalent was clear, building a tech-driven education platform in Rishikesh was far from easy. Unlike Delhi, Bengaluru, or Mumbai, Rishikesh lacked the startup ecosystem, infrastructure, and workforce needed to scale a digital business.

    Key challenges included:

    • Poor Mobile & Internet Connectivity: Reliable broadband was unheard of in Rishikesh, making virtual counselling and platform development difficult. Frequent outages meant lost business opportunities. The team tackled this by setting up multiple broadband connections from different providers to ensure seamless nationwide operations.

    • Lack of Skilled Professionals in Uttarakhand: With limited job opportunities in the region, most professionals have migrated to metro cities. Hiring local career counsellors, content specialists, and tech experts proved difficult. Instead of waiting for a solution, BoostMyTalent created one: they trained and upskilled local talent while onboarding experienced professionals remotely.

    • Building Trust with Colleges and Employers: Many educational institutions and recruiters hesitated to engage with a startup based in Rishikesh.

    Turning Challenges into Opportunities

    Rather than waiting for partnerships to develop organically, BoostMyTalent created opportunities for engagement by inviting colleges, financial institutions, and recruiters to visit their office in Rishikesh. The company strategically coordinated these visits with partner holiday schedules, encouraging them to explore the scenic tri-city areas of Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar.

    “At first, institutions were hesitant to engage with a startup outside metro cities. But when they visited us, it became more than just a business meeting-it was an experience. An evening walk along Marine Drive by the Holy Ganga, a deep discussion over coffee at a riverbank caf, or simply unwinding at a forest retreat with the echoes of Ganga Aarti and local musicians strumming familiar tunes-it was a much-needed escape from the city hustle. They realized that serious business and serene living can coexist,”Shikha Mudgal (PhD), Vice President – Student Advisory & Training, BoostMyTalent.

    This unique blend of business and culture helped BoostMyTalent foster strong, long-term alliances with colleges, financial institutions, and employers, proving that great businesses can thrive outside metro cities.

    How BoostMyTalent is Changing the Future of Student Counseling

    BoostMyTalent goes beyond conventional admission portals by offering end-to-end student support focusing on long-term career outcomes rather than just college enrollment.

    • Internship support and networking with alumni and industry leaders.

    • Leadership development, communication skills, and job readiness training.

    BoostMyTalents Role in Reversing Brain Drain from Uttarakhand

    Due to limited employment opportunities in Uttarakhand, many skilled professionals migrated to metro cities for better career prospects. BoostMyTalent is actively reversing this trend by creating local job opportunities in Rishikesh, enabling professionals to return home while maintaining strong career growth.

    “Were proving that Uttarakhands professionals dont have to leave home to build a successful career. By establishing a strong EdTech ecosystem in Rishikesh, were creating job opportunities that rival metro cities while allowing people to live in an environment that fosters both professional and personal well-being,” said Mr. Sandesh Sharma.

    A Vision for the Future

    Every day, the BoostMyTalent team helps students across the country find the right colleges across various educational domains like Engineering, Management, Life Sciences, and Professional Courses-ensuring they receivegenuine, career-focused guidance.

    “We envision a future where no student is forced to take an expensive loan for a degree that wont benefit them, where education is about opportunities, not just institutions, and where the right guidance can change lives,” said Mr. Sandesh Sharma.

    BoostMyTalent is setting an example of how world-class EdTech platforms can thrive outside metro cities, proving that passion, innovation, and commitment to solving real problems can outweigh the conveniences of an established startup ecosystem.

  • Tetra Pak Introduces Packaging with Certified Recycled Polymers in India

    Tetra Pak Introduces Packaging with Certified Recycled Polymers in India


    Tetra Pak today announced their offering of packaging material with certified recycled polymers, becoming the first company in the food and beverage packaging industry in India to do so. Its carton packages integrating recycled polymers are certified by ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification), a globally applicable sustainability certification system. The packaging material integrates 5% certified recycled polymers, as mandated by the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules 2022. This mandate comes into effect on April 1, 2025.


     





    India’s 1st aseptic carton with certified recycled polymers


     


    This milestone marks a significant step in Tetra Pak’s commitment to circularity, focusing on reducing dependence on fossil-based resources and maximizing material reuse. In addition, Tetra Pak remains dedicated to responsibly sourcing raw materials, designing packages for enhanced recycling and reduced litter, and building strong partnerships to develop effective collection and recycling infrastructure worldwide.


     


    Cassio Simoes, Managing Director, Tetra Pak South Asia said, “We are proud to be the first carton packaging producer to bring packaging material with 5% certified recycled polymers to India. This recycled content is being sourced from India, and the packaging material is also being made at our ISCC PLUS-certified factory in Chakan, Pune. We applaud the commitment of the Ministry of Environment Forests & Climate to promoting circularity, and for making India one of the first countries in the world to introduce this regulation as early as 2025. This is an opportunity for all of us in the food & beverage industry to collaborate closely, and transition to more circular solutions.”


     


    The ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) certified recycled polymers are sourced and allocated to our solutions according to the ISCC mass balance attribution method. Using chemical recycling technology, the plastics are made of a mix of recycled and non-recycled materials, with the corresponding mass of recycled materials tracked throughout the Tetra Pak supply chain. These chemically recycled plastics comply with the same global food contact regulations as virgin polymers. From a quality perspective, chemically recycled plastics are equivalent to fossil-based plastics.


     


    Using recycled material can contribute to increased recycling rates and make recycling more economically viable. Recycled content mandates across the world, including India, offer a regulatory push to ensure producers buy recycled materials; this increases demand and thereby encourages expanded offer.


     


    Simoes added, “The transition to mainstream adoption of materials like plant-based and recycled polymers is still a work in progress. At Tetra Pak, we remain committed to collaborating with our partners and customers to drive innovation and find synergies. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that all our packaging is made from renewable or recycled polymers, eliminating reliance on fossil feedstock. Achieving this vision requires collective action from businesses and other stakeholders, working together to accelerate the shift toward a low-carbon, circular economy.”


     


    About Tetra Pak


    Tetra Pak is a world leading food processing and packaging solutions company. Working with our customers and suppliers, we provide access to safe, nutritious food for hundreds of millions of people in more than 160 countries every day.

  • ET NOW Global Business Summit Day 2 Concludes on a High Note, Celebrating India’s Growth and Innovation

    ET NOW Global Business Summit Day 2 Concludes on a High Note, Celebrating India’s Growth and Innovation

    Day 2 of the Times Group ET NOW Global Business Summit 2025 ended on a high note with a conviction that India is all set to be the force to reckon with, with its Innovations, Industries, and Aspirations. Reiterated by the assembly of 1,000+ Delegates, Industry Captains, and Dignitaries from across the globe, the summit wrapped up with promise of a better future for the country and its countrymen.

    The day started on a positive note with Minister of Commerce and Industry, India, Shri Piyush Goyal leading.

    India is well on track to become a $30-35 trillion economy in the next two decades,” said Piyush Goyal at The Times Group ET NOW Global Business Summit 2025. “Our focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth will ensure that this vision becomes a reality.” While addressing the summit on the second day, Goyal emphasised that India will emerge as the world’s third-largest economy sooner than anticipated, citing the nation’s rapid economic progress.

    Goyal highlighted India’s rising global influence, its push for manufacturing and innovation, and the government’s commitment to inclusive, women-led development. “Today, we are the voice of the Global South, shaping international trade and economic policies. Our robust industrial ecosystem and relentless focus on self-reliance are making India a global manufacturing powerhouse.” He also pointed to the country’s startup revolution, noting, “India is now home to the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, with over 115 unicorns and 160,000 registered startups. Our young entrepreneurs are redefining business and technology, proving that India is a land of limitless opportunities.”

    Goyal emphasised the critical role of women in India’s economic rise, stating, “The rise of India’s women is at the heart of our growth story. Female participation in the workforce has increased from 11% a decade ago to nearly 45-50% today. Nari Shakti is shaping India’s future.”

    In a session titled Breaking the Clutter: The Art of Seamless Innovation, Akis Evangelidis, Co-founder, of Nothing, shared, “We were the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India last year, with 77% year-on-year growth. Our strategy began with design differentiation-creating products instantly recognisable without a logo. Now, we’re doubling down on software and AI to redefine the smartphone experience. The industry has remained stagnant for years, and we see a massive opportunity to rethink user interaction. AI will play a key role, not just as a buzzword, but in solving real-world problems. As we scale, our focus remains on delivering innovation that stands out in a crowded market.”

    Katie Sadleir, CEO, of the Commonwealth Games Federation, stated, “India’s work is transformational. With the right leadership, infrastructure, and passion, India is on track to becoming one of the top 10 countries in the Olympics. Sports are hugely significant in creating the image of a country. Being recognised as a sporting powerhouse enhances a nation’s influence on the global stage.” Speaking alongside Luciano Rossi, President of The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), Sadleir praised India’s world-class sports infrastructure, calling it a testament to the country’s growing commitment to international competition.

    In Global Energy Dynamics: India’s Path Forward, Arvind Tiku, Founder of AT Capital Group, discussed Indias role in global energy geopolitics. He said, “Energy has long been a key instrument of geopolitics. While global peace post-World War II kept this less visible, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has brought it back into focus. With Europe’s shift away from Russian imports and costly US alternatives, India, with the world’s fourth-largest refining capacity, has an opportunity to export finished products. Through skilled diplomacy, India has effectively navigated the crude oil import landscape to safeguard its interests within the global energy framework. While the green energy transition is underway, fossil fuels will remain a crucial part of India’s energy mix for at least the next 30-40 years, until 2050-2060.”

    Meanwhile, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Founder & CEO of Paytm, addressed the fintech sector’s evolution in The Future of Fintech: Innovations and Opportunities. He said, “Our past experiences have made us stronger and better. We are back with numbers and market share. Payments as a standalone offering can drive profits, with a focus on 200-250 million quality customers. Just as new technologies have created opportunities and boosted productivity in the past, we expect AI to do the same for our future growth.”

    Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary, of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, stated, “India is a solar superpower, reaching 100 GW in record time, putting the country on a path to meet PM Modi’s ambitious 500 GW target for clean energy. Investment only reaches levels like these because of commercial and economic self-interest. Indian companies, and more like them, see huge potential and profits.”

    In Beyond Influence: The Future of the Creator Economy, Konrad Bergstrm, Founder and President of X Shore, emphasized the intersection of innovation and sustainability. He stated, “Innovation and sustainability have always driven me-from transforming Marshall into a billion-dollar brand to now revolutionising water transport with electric boats. Success isn’t just about wealth; it’s about building solutions that enhance experiences while respecting the planet.”

    The day ended with a high-spirited discussion on the recent phenomenon of the entertainment business.

    The Business Entertainment in a Global Paradox session featured insights from King Willonius, an AI storyteller and Hollywood filmmaker, on the impact of AI on creative industries. “AI tools now let artists produce high-quality work without major budgets, disrupting traditional barriers. The future belongs to those who adapt.” Stefano Fallaha, CEO of Podeo UAE, added, “The media landscape is shifting toward authentic, raw narratives. Governments and brands must recognize the power of digital creators, as audience discernment will shape the future of media.”

    Gina Dirawi, Swedish Television Presenter, Singer-Songwriter, Author, Comedian, Radio Personality, and Actress stated, “Creating art isn’t about chasing reach or attention – it’s about digging deep to tell the stories that matter. When you create from a place of truth and personal alignment, you carve out a space where you can fully exist in the world. Representation starts with daring to ask, ‘Why not me‘ and continues by holding space for perspectives we may not always understand. Real impact happens when we create from the heart, not for strategy, but for connection.” “Be authentic,” she said.

    The Times Group ET NOW Global Business Summit 2025 Day 2 continued to be as impactful as the first day with the interesting session, furthering the important conversations around India’s role in the global economy. Leaders focused on India’s strengths in innovation, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance, underlining the summits theme, ‘Evolve, Emerge, Expand,’ and setting the stage for forward-thinking discussions that will influence industries, economies, and societies.

  • Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund NFO is closing soon: A contrarian approach to diversified growth

    Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund NFO is closing soon: A contrarian approach to diversified growth

    The New Fund Offer (NFO) period for the Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund is set to close soon, marking the final two days for investors to participate in this fund at its initial offer price.

    The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund NFO ends on February 20th, 2025

    The NFO began on February 6th, 2025, and ends on February 20th, 2025. Units are available at a face value of Rs. 10 each during this period.

    The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund follows a contrarian approach, making it relatively different from other funds in this space. Contrarian investing involves identifying undervalued and overlooked opportunities before the market recognises their potential.

    Suitable for investors seeking a balanced and disciplined allocation across large, mid, and small cap stocks, the fund seeks to leverage contrarian investing to create long-term growth potential.

    How Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund uses contrarian investing

    Contrarian investing is built on a simple premise – going against the prevailing market sentiment to find opportunities where others may not be looking. This approach seeks to identify fundamentally strong companies that might be overlooked or undervalued due to temporary market fluctuations.

    Instead of following short-term trends, Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund focuses on businesses with long-term growth potential that may be undervalued and potentially benefit if the market recognises their intrinsic value.

    Moreover, unlike pure contrarian funds that exit stocks when they reach their intrinsic value, Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund will target sustained exposure* to potentially benefit from the stock’s complete growth wave.

    * There is no assurance or guarantee that the AMC will accomplish this with every investment that is undertaken in this scheme

    Additionally, contrarian investing requires patience, thorough research, and a strong grasp of market sentiment. This is where the professional management of mutual funds can be a benefit. The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund is actively managed, with experienced investment experts identifying contrarian opportunities and accordingly making buy and sell decisions.

    Balanced exposure to all market caps

    Being a multi cap fund, the scheme will invest in large cap, mid cap and small cap stocks, allocating at least 25% of its portfolio to each. This will allow the fund to potentially capture growth opportunities across the broad market and leverage the unique features of each market cap across market cycles.

    • Large cap stocks are those belonging to companies listed between 1 and 100 on the stock exchange based on market capitalisation. Such stocks tend to provide relative stability and lower downside risk as large cap companies typically have strong market positions and healthy balance sheets.

    • The mid cap allocation seeks out businesses in their growth phase, which have the potential to become large caps in the future. Mid cap stocks are those listed between 101 and 250 on the stock exchange based on market capitalisation. Such stocks can offer better growth potential than large caps in rising markets but are also more volatile.

    • Small cap stocks offer opportunities in emerging businesses that could deliver better growth potential over time, but with higher risk. These are companies listed 251 and beyond on the stock exchange in terms of market capitalisation.

    By maintaining a structured allocation across market caps, the fund mitigates concentration risk and ensures participation in a broader range of investment opportunities.

    Benefits of investing in Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund

    1. Leveraging market overreactions and underreactions: The fund’s contrarian strategy aims to capitalise on mispriced opportunities, potentially realising their value over the long term.

    2. Diversification across market cycles: A balanced mix of large, mid, and small cap stocks provides exposure to various segments of the economy, reducing reliance on any single market category.

    3. Active portfolio management: The fund is actively managed, with a research-driven approach to stock selection that prioritises long-term fundamentals over short-term market movements.

    4. Disciplined risk management: By spreading investments across different market caps and sectors, the fund seeks to balance potential returns with risk management.

    How to invest

    With the NFO period coming to a close, investors looking for a disciplined and contrarian approach to equity investing may find the Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund a suitable option.

    You can invest through the following modes:

    1. Directly with Bajaj Finserv AMC by visiting www.bajajamc.com or going to the nearest branch

    2. Through a registered mutual fund distributor

    3. Through the Registrar and Transfer Agent KFintech

    4. Through aggregator platforms

    Investments in Systematic Investment Plans as well as lumpsum start at Rs. 500. Once the NFO window closes on February 20th, 2025, the fund will reopen for subscription within five business days of allotment date. Units will then be available at the prevailing Net Asset Value.

    Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

  • Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund NFO is closing soon: A contrarian approach to diversified growth

    The New Fund Offer (NFO) period for the Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund is set to close soon, marking the final two days for investors to participate in this fund at its initial offer price.

    The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund NFO ends on February 20th, 2025

    The NFO began on February 6th, 2025, and ends on February 20th, 2025. Units are available at a face value of Rs. 10 each during this period.

    The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund follows a contrarian approach, making it relatively different from other funds in this space. Contrarian investing involves identifying undervalued and overlooked opportunities before the market recognises their potential.

    Suitable for investors seeking a balanced and disciplined allocation across large, mid, and small cap stocks, the fund seeks to leverage contrarian investing to create long-term growth potential.

    How Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund uses contrarian investing

    Contrarian investing is built on a simple premise – going against the prevailing market sentiment to find opportunities where others may not be looking. This approach seeks to identify fundamentally strong companies that might be overlooked or undervalued due to temporary market fluctuations.

    Instead of following short-term trends, Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund focuses on businesses with long-term growth potential that may be undervalued and potentially benefit if the market recognises their intrinsic value.

    Moreover, unlike pure contrarian funds that exit stocks when they reach their intrinsic value, Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund will target sustained exposure* to potentially benefit from the stock’s complete growth wave.

    * There is no assurance or guarantee that the AMC will accomplish this with every investment that is undertaken in this scheme

    Additionally, contrarian investing requires patience, thorough research, and a strong grasp of market sentiment. This is where the professional management of mutual funds can be a benefit. The Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund is actively managed, with experienced investment experts identifying contrarian opportunities and accordingly making buy and sell decisions.

    Balanced exposure to all market caps

    Being a multi cap fund, the scheme will invest in large cap, mid cap and small cap stocks, allocating at least 25% of its portfolio to each. This will allow the fund to potentially capture growth opportunities across the broad market and leverage the unique features of each market cap across market cycles.

    • Large cap stocks are those belonging to companies listed between 1 and 100 on the stock exchange based on market capitalisation. Such stocks tend to provide relative stability and lower downside risk as large cap companies typically have strong market positions and healthy balance sheets.

  • Charting a New Course: Marwari Catalysts Leverages Venture Studio Model for India

    Charting a New Course: Marwari Catalysts Leverages Venture Studio Model for India

    Marwari Catalysts (MCats), has swiftly ascended as Indias fastest-growing startup accelerator, primarily focusing on nurturing early-stage startups in India. Since its inception, Marwari Catalysts has risen to prominence as a benefactor to both ailing and promising startups and that too in a grand fashion, whose reach now transcends national and international boundaries.

    Charting a New Course: Marwari Catalysts leverages Venture Studio Model

    With a commendable track record of investments spanning over 90 startups and several successful exits with few success stories in Venture Studio Model like TURMS and The BOOK CAFE achieving 50x growth, through its accelerator model.

    Charting a New Course: Marwari Catalysts leverages Venture Studio Model

    Marwari Catalysts is now venturing into the Venture Studio Model, with a goal of revitalizing startups that are facing various challenges – scalability challenges, lack of operational excellence, lack of succession planning, founder disputes, lack of diversification or pivoting to growth channels or simply need of the hour.

    Creating a new chapter of growth and acceleration with the Venture Studio Model.

    The venture studio model represents a paradigm shift from traditional accelerator frameworks. In addition to mentoring and funding startups, a Venture Studio goes beyond and actively ideates, launches, and scales new ventures, often taking a more hands-on approach in the entire end to end development process.

    Marwari Catalysts is poised to harness this model to foster innovation and entrepreneurship beyond the metropolitan hubs and looks to coalesce the startup landscape with new vigor. We invite Family Offices and corporations to work together with Marwari Catalysts in this initiative.

    Sushil Sharma, the Founder and CEO of Marwari Catalysts, articulates this vision: “India is at the right stage for startups, and the ecosystem in cities beyond metros is becoming stronger for creating wealth through startups.

    Portfolios under the Venture Studio Model:

    • Pratap IVF: An affordable, accessible, IVF solution currently available in 3 cities and expanding in 3 more cities in the upcoming quarter.

    • TURMS: A sustainable, anti stain, anti odor intelligent apparel brand that impressed the sharks and won MS Dhoni’s heart.

    • Leap Ahead India: A platform catapulting Indian startups onto the global stage and making the Indian market accessible to international startups.

    • Nostalgia Pages: India’s leading yearbook brand, helping people relive and cherish nostalgic memories, is trusted by top institutions like IITs, IIMs, and prestigious universities worldwide.

    • Literom: A customised cutting edge B2B SaaS based ERP solution provider.

    • ClimeKare: An expert carbon footprint accounting, carbon neutral strategies, ESG reporting, carbon emissions reduction and sustainability solutions provider.

    • Eldo Care: A social initiative that offers multiple 24/7 elderly club services for your parents located in tier-2 and below towns of India giving the most reliable ‘Health Companion’!

    The venture studio model, while successful internationally, remains relatively uncharted in India.

    Gurmeet Singh, Executive Director, Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC), says, “Venture Studio Model is already successful in the international market and looking forward to the Indianised version with Marwari ethos. The venture studio model can provide the critical funding and bandwidth that enable startups to innovate and scale internationally.

    Additionally, Sameep Shastri, Vice Chairman, BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry says, “Taking venture startups global isn’t merely an option; it’s a necessity in today’s interconnected economy. The venture studio model offered by MCats will thrive the startups in international markets.

    Marwari Catalysts is bullish on the venture studio model, with plans to invest in additional 10 companies every year. This ambitious target underscores their commitment to fostering entrepreneurship in regions that have traditionally been overlooked.

    Sushil Sharma envisions the Venture Studio Model as a catalyst for both startups and established entities seeking revitalization or exploring new avenues. The model will collaborate closely with Family Offices and innovators, with a particular focus on non-succession planning and emerging ideas. The initiative will extend its reach to businesses across India and aim to facilitate SME IPOs.

    By providing strategic guidance, operational support, and necessary resources, MCats aims to offer these startups a new lease on life, turning potential failures into success stories.

    Marwari Catalysts foray into the Venture Studio Model marks a significant evolution in Indias startup landscape. By leveraging this model, MCats is not only expanding its portfolio but also contributing to the decentralisation of innovation, ensuring that the entrepreneurial spirit thrives across the nation and also aids in global success through the successes of such startups!
