The Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) will provide an opportunity for young entrepreneurs in the country to associate with leading automobile company Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) through its initiative ‘Start-up Innovation Day’.

To be conducted in collaboration with M&M, start-ups representing various technologies and sectors all over India can present their projects to the Mahindra team.

“The expertise of M&M in diverse sectors ranging from agriculture to defence would enable capable start-ups to develop their ideas and find early market place,” KSUM CEO Saji Gopinath said in a release.

The prime objective is to identify potential start-ups that can collaborate with Mahindra Group of companies.

The idea is to test the waters first by giving these start-ups Proof of Concepts (POCs) to execute initially. On successful execution of these POCs, the companies will engage with them on a larger scale. Applications, which are open for start-ups to apply for the respective sectors, will be received till October 5. The selected start-ups will be called for a presentation with the Mahindra leadership team. Applications can be sent to: http://tiny.cc/
