The Scenario

be created with minimum resources

● Lack of uninterrupted power
supply & fast internet access
● Very little funding
● Very little access to resources
● Limited access to those with
similar mindsets
The Need
● Lack of sustained mentoring
● Limited opportunity for learning new
skills
● Lack of an inspirational environment
● No testing facilities available
● No place to showcase their ideas
● No access to angel investors or VCs
