With the unprecedented times that we are witnessing today, it should be very well understood that Innovation should become the daily norm, for which TSIC has been at the forefront in designing community-centric initiatives, along with the other Ecosystem players.

The team, consisting of young passionate individuals has been able to create palpable excitement around innovation at schools, grassroots, rural, and in the government. From startup catalysts in Hyderabad to a Farmer-Innovator in a village, a lot of approaches have been taken to include innovation as an integral part of the prevailing culture.

TSIC has had a landmark role in augmenting progress in the Agri-innovation space. I wish them the very best for their recent project – “District Innovation Repository”, which seeks to archive best practices in innovation from across the 33 districts of Telangana.

I struggled to speak my innovation, TSIC is exclusively scouting and facilitating us as role models of Innovation .

Intinta Innovator program provided me that right boost to see a career in my innovation. From District level to one among top 10 in the state and having received award from KTR sir is my greatest achievement. From then I got many opportunities to participate at state & national-level programs.

We always thought Governments do the most complex risk assessment before granting work-orders to startups. Under Government Mentor Program (GMP), we were mentored so intensively that our solution lead to saving 2600+ man-hours per day & gave us the confidence of initiating a dialogue with Google.

Gone are the days when we picked the largest companies to offer most effective solutions to citizens. I enjoyed walking this journey of solution-development together with RHPD startup under GMP program by TSIC. If the youth decide to team up with the govt., we will start topping the Happiness Index soon.

Not many people outside our village knew about my invention till now. But after the article was published in Hyderabad Times, many people are asking me how to use it and are learning about its mechanisms. It is a proud moment for our entire village to be recognised by KTR.

This Social Impact Bootcamp by TSIC has made us acutely aware that in addition to building a strong social enterprise, it is equally important to focus on Impact Assessment, Communicating and Showcasing your brand’s story and value proposition, which we are pursuing today.

One thing that stood out with the Social Impact Bootcamp by TSIC was the fierce determination of the organizing team to meet & exceed the overall objectives. TSIC team went beyond their efforts to help Startups better understand, plan & organize themselves in the social sector.

I was not even selected from my village for Village Innovation Challenge. No youngster was showing interest to join the challenge, & we as a couple decided that whatever it is, let us speak about our problem and share what we think. I believe innovation starts here.
