Indian-American Venture Capitalist

Let me congratulate you Piyush, You probably have one of the best startups. I mean it's amazing you started just a year ago and you've been able to curate such a great group of entrepreneurs and really help them get to this point. As entrepreneurs, It's thousands of bridges that we need to cross and we don't really know what all those bridges are. You've done a fantastic job of actually bringing these entrepreneurs together, connecting them to mentors, venture capitalists,  investors, and giving them the opportunity and the resources to actually pick the right bridges and cross them.

Mission Director, AIM, NITI Aayog

I have been associated with the Manush labs since its inception and I am delighted to see how it has sharpened its focus. I'm very excited about Manush's mission of extending the innovation pipelines to the second and third tier cities of India. This is a very important mission, I think because, an innovation ecosystem is only as strong as its pipelines are rich. So hopefully,  through their work, many of the startups would mature to become not only investment worthy, but will do wonderfully well either in serving local problems or very large global problems. I look forward to being a part of this journey.

Way to go Manush Labs! Congratulations, Piyush.The role of incubators and accelerators cannot be undermined when we talk of a thriving start-up ecosystem. With US and China boasting 225+ unicorns, and India at 21, we have a long way to go. The need for structured support in initial phases is even more true for social startups, where the problems may be more complex and deep rooted and low margins is reality. But once you crack the code, the market size may be the largest possible, and of course, the impact may be most gratifying and sustainable.

In Piyush, we found a rare combination of clarity of purpose and the drive to deliver needle-moving outcomes. His ability to collaborate and effectively leverage resources provided by the incubation programme has set Manush Labs on a trajectory of rapid growth and learning.

Atsuya Technologies

Founded in 2017, Atsuya is an internet of things (IoT) start-up that provides innovative solutions for sustainability. The Chennai-based company started out by offering an IoT solution that enabled refrigeration asset owners to not just monitor their refrigerators’ performance real time, but also view and control them from one simple mobile app. Within a year, Atsuya had built a significant client base with grocery retailers in India, and realized that there were other challenges they could help their clients solve. In 2018, the start-up began expanding its platform to work with clients to monitor and reduce energy consumption

ENTREPRENEURS

LOVE US

The journey has been incredibly good. The concept of fundraising was very new to us, and the support from Manush Labs truly helped us in both, designing a better pitch, as well as in pitching better. The guidance we received from our personal mentor is impeccable. The program is well-organized and I am happy I had a chance to be a part of the same.

-   Kirtikumar Tolani

     Co-Founder, Landwirt India

My expectations from the program were to have a chance to interact with people who are very insightful and experienced in the area they work in, and I would say that the same has been a success. I have received valuable feedback from mentors as well as investors, which pushed me to constantly improve.

-   Alekhya Boora

     Co-Founder, Ripsey

Nothing compares to being a part of the Manush Labs cohort. The investor connections are amazing. The execution of the program is beyond expectations and the management of logistics surprises me.

     Founder, AgriDost

Multiple Pecha Kuchas were very helpful in making us realize the key areas to focus on when preparing our pitch deck. Our mentor was incredibly helpful and conversations with him were very stimulating. This program gives individual attention to every participating startup, which is rare in the incubator/accelerator space!

-   Vinoj Raj

     Founder, St. Jude Herbals

I really liked the transparency of this program. The program was helpful throughout its entire course, and not just the initial few weeks, like it usually tends to happen. I like how everyone in this cohort saw value in each other and was supportive of mutual growth. That for me is a big differentiator.
