Startup Maharashtra Yatra
by Shrutee K/DNS
Startup
Maharashtra Yatra is an initiative by SkillSikho.com in association with
Mentorpreneurs. The objective of this Yatra is develop startup ecosystem Tier2,
Tier3 Cities of Maharashtra. This yatra
will reach and encourage students and entrepreneurs in Maharashtra across 10 cities and help them with the right
resources for their startups. Most of the startup events happen in Metros, with
English as their communication language. This becomes a big challenge for the
youth in Tier 2, Tier 3 cities as language
becomes a big barrier for them.
Information with respect to
startups, incubators, accelerators, investors,
funding raising and benefits derived from startup ecosystems, are all
restricted only to certain sections. The Startup Maharashtra Yatra aims to
change this situation and promote startup ecosystems in small towns of
Maharashtra. And so with this
initiative we decided to reach the youth of Maharashtra in their own cities
with their regional language.
Renowned names in the startup industry will be a part of this
initiative. This will provide an opportunity to the budding entrepreneurs to
interact with them. Through a - “Pitch Your Startup” competition , a winning startups will get opportunity to
raise funding upto 50 lakh rupees. A total turn out of more than 1000+ students and 5000+
businessmen is expected for this programme. The Startup Maharashtra Yatra will
be organised in two phases. In the first phase it will be launched in Thane on 30th April, 5th
May in Chiplun, 12th May in Aurangabad, 17th May in
Nashik, 26th May in Jalgaon. The second phase will see the initiative being
