  • testimonial

    In Hitachi India, we believe in a more resilient digital ecosystem supporting business
    continuity and a high quality of life for its citizens.  In association with Kerala Startup
    Mission (KSUM), we accelerated a national innovation contest inviting startups from
    all around India to help develop innovative digital solutions supporting small
    merchants. We came across a constructively efficacious event and KSUM was
    remarkable in operational and managerial direction. The event has enabled us to
    explore more on the latent talent of the startup community in India, that could really
    thrive for impending associations.
