The Founder Institute recently a opened a new chapter in Hyderabad, its second chapter in India after Bangalore. News of the positive impact the Founder Institute has had on the local startup ecosystem was covered by in a Hindu Business Line article titled A start-up that nurtures start-ups.

Designed to help IT professionals turn their ideas into successful startups, the Hyderabad chapter of the Founder Institute is led by two experienced business experts: Srinivas Kollipara, Chief Operating Officer of the International Institute of Information Technology; and Ramesh Loganathan, Vice-President and Managing Director of Progress Software India, and President of the IT and ITES Industry Association of Andhra Pradesh.

This is exclusively meant for IT professionals working somewhere but nurturing a dream to set up their own venture. This course is structured so well that they can actually leave the job at the end of the four-month period and start their venture.” - Srinivas Kollipara

 

Participants in the program will also be treated to expert feedback from local startup mentors, including Anu Acharya, Chief Executive Officer of Mapmygenome; Murali Bukkapatnam, President of The Indus Entrepreneurs; and Bipin Pendyla of iKeva.
