Mr. Tarun Kakani, who is also an Atal Innovation Mentor and Champion of Change, appointed by NITI Aayog, said GTS has invested in several start-ups in various sectors like agri-tech drone technology, product development using Artificial Intelligence, E-commerce for handlooms and utility services. “While some of the incubated startups of GTS have made it to national and international venues with awards, a few others have become commercially viable companies providing employment to the local youth,” he said.
