From the initial bootcamp to the invaluable guidance at pivotal moments, SRM BRC has been instrumental in shaping our firm’s growth. We are sincerely grateful for their mentorship and resources and look forward to their continued support as we take our startup to greater heights.”

“We represent Ecowin Instruments Pvt. Ltd., a budding startup incubated at SRM BRC in August 2024. Our sincere thanks to the CEO, Hari, and the entire team for supporting and encouraging us from day one. Their enthusiasm for the better development of our products has been truly commendable. In the past three months, they facilitated discussions about our product with three investors, which would have been impossible for us otherwise. The team conducts regular reviews and frequent entrepreneurial workshops to help us prepare better. They are available round the clock for any support we need. At the outset, we feel confident and look forward to a promising future, guided by the team at SRM BRC.”

We deeply appreciate the opportunities the Bootstrappers’ Research Council has created for us and look forward to their continued support in driving our future growth and success.”

Dr. Subalalitha

FirstLanguage Technologies Pvt. Ltd

Founder

“I am Dr. Subalalitha, Founder of FirstLanguage Technologies Private Limited, a Gen AI startup. I am also an Associate Professor in the Department of Computing Technologies. Anatha Kumar Sir, Associate Director of Bootstrappers’ Research Council, and Vijay Ratna Lingaa Sir, Techno Lead Advisor of Bootstrappers’ Research Council, provided unconditional support to our startup even before we incubated, after learning that a faculty member had started a startup. This encouraged me greatly, and we incubated with Bootstrappers’ Research Council in January 2024. I am thankful to Hari Sir, CEO of Bootstrappers’ Research Council, and Shanthanu Patil Sir, Director of Bootstrappers’ Research Council, for being great mentors to me. From helping us find the market fit for our product to introducing us to their network and analyzing our product, the BRC team has been an immense support. I also thank SRM for encouraging faculty to become entrepreneurs. As an incubatee, I would be happy to encourage fellow faculty and students to enter the world of entrepreneurship and guide them in every possible way.”

Dr. Bhasi Sukumaran

Brainwaves Neurorehab Solutions Pvt. Ltd

Founder & CEO

“I deeply value the mentorship provided by Bootstrappers’ Research Council since BrainwaveS Neurorehab Solutions was incubated at SRM in December 2021. With no prior business or entrepreneurial skills, their support has been transformative—from forming the company and securing grants to building a skilled team. Their guidance in creating prototypes, conducting clinical trials, and preparing investor pitches has been invaluable. Regular one-on-one mentoring sessions, interactions with industry experts, and awareness programs have ensured our continuous progress. Thanks to their expert mentorship, we’ve developed prototypes, secured funding, and built the confidence to launch a viable product, achieving milestones I once thought were beyond my reach.“

Co-founding Team

Kreator 3D

“The journey of building Kreator 3D aka ‘Sytolab’ into a deep-tech tissue engineering and bioprinting startup would not have been possible without the steadfast support of Bootstrappers’ Research Council (BRC) at SRM IST. BRC provided us with a dynamic and innovation-driven environment that fostered creativity and collaboration. Beyond the cutting-edge infrastructure, they extended mentorship that helped refine our business strategies, technical know-how, and operational frameworks. The network we gained was unparalleled. From connecting us with industry leaders and academic experts to creating opportunities to showcase our work, BRC helped us establish credibility in the field of Tissue engineering. To us, it is clear that BRC was much more than an incubation center; it was a catalyst for growth and a cornerstone of our success.“
