RevvX Hardware/IOT Accelerator expands to North Karnataka with RevvX, Hubli
Bangalore based RevvX IOT/Harware Accelerator has now expanded its footprint to cater to North Karnataka Innovations. RevvX will support early-stage companies advancing applications in Internet of things (IoT),AI, sensors and robotics, with potential to develop and commercialize through its office in Hubli.
The program will connect startups from all over North Karnataka to an established RevvX network of community leaders, founders, mentors, investors and corporate partners.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Office, Founder & CEO of RevvX, Avinash Kaushik said “Indian economy and most parts of the world is heading towards a jobless growth. Advancements in Automation and Artificial Intelligence will make several skills obsolete. Instead of being at the mercy of large Corporates for employment, our youth should pick a problem or a business opportunity they are passionate about and try to solve them at-least as a personal hobby if not full-time. This has the potential to have a multiplier effect in the ecosystem creating several job opportunities.”
The Government’s Make in India push has resulted in Technology Business Incubators ( TBI) being set up for IOT across the country. Revvx is supporting these Institutions in not only setting up their IOT lab but also to run IOT and Hardware based Incubation/Accelerator Programs in the Campus.The Hubli Office of Revvx shall drive Skilling, Innovation and Entrepreneurship working closely with BVB College of Engineering and it’s Corporate partners.
Prof Ashok Shettar, Vice-Chancellor, KLE Technological University expressed excitement in having Industry partners show interest in building Hubli as a Hub for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “ The biggest challenge for Tier-2 city Universities is the access to the Industry. Our partnership with RevvX brings opportunities for our IOT Engineers to solve Corporate problems and move beyond academic projects.” says Prof. Shettar.
Satish Mugulavalli, who joined RevvX as a Mentor is also a Technology Mentor at YourNest VC. This close association with a VC brings great advantage to budding Innovations at the grass root level.Vivek Mansingh, Partner at YourNest is Former MD of Ishoni Networks where Satish had worked as a Technologist to spearhead Indian Outsourcing Industry during the dotcom era.
Serial Entrepreneur and alumni of BVB College, Bahubali Shete, who currently runs the Smart Kitchen Startup, IOTPot shall also advise the IOT startups as a Mentor at RevvX, Hubli. The advantage of running Innovation Programs at Tier-2 cities is their proximity to the grass root challenges in infrastructure, Transport, Distribution, Supply chain and Agriculture.
