Understand. Unobstacle. Unleash.
Helping build and grow new innovations
India is a country blessed with both youth power and diversity. It would be a shame if this powerful demographic were not encouraged to harness its inherent spirit of innovation and enterprise. And Praavega – the inculator is here to do just that: urge the youth to believe and build on original ideas with digital technology to solve problems.
However, that will happen only when young entrepreneurship is given the benefit of experience and understanding that comes from the three dimensional perspective of innovators, investors and industry at one go. The Praavega platform that stands on the key exponentials of deep domain and technology, culture of IP, disciplined execution, customer value and global networks will be teamed with frictionless entrepreneurial infrastructure to bring back the spirit of courageous innovation to India.
