Despite innovative offerings with potential to address individuals/societies’ everyday challenges, enterprising individuals – especially from tier 2 cities and tier 3 – often find it challenging to make their presence felt among their target customers and other stakeholders. We feel that a digital presence would give them an effective medium to create visibility and communicate their offeringsto the larger audience. As an organization devoted to the cause of entrepreneurship and strengthening the start-up ecosystem, we continuously explore ways to make things better for entrepreneurs. Our “GO DIGITAL” initiative for start-ups in association with Chittlesoft is another such offering that aims to address the challenge of creating digital presence for entrepreneurs.”
