RUBI – The Latest Jewel In Rungta Crown!
In today’s world, entrepreneurship and start-ups are a key driver to the country’s growth and economy. Home grown start-ups like Ola, Flipkart, Byju’s, Big Basket have grown in just a few years to valuations more than USD 1 Billion (Unicorns). India now, has a mature investment community of VC’s, Angels, and seed funders. Besides the Central government and states have significant funds allocated to support early-stage start-ups and innovative and creative businesses. Yet, despite these rapid developments elsewhere, Chhattisgarh has been largely untouched by this blooming start-up revolution.
Our college has always nurtured entrepreneurship, through interventions like Start-up Summit, entrepreneurship forum, EDP trainings, technical events and supporting student led Entrepreneurial initiatives.
RUBI (Rungta Business Incubator) is a logical extension of these efforts and a testimony of our commitment to creating a start-up ecosystem within our campus and in the state of Chhattisgarh. It will be a state-of-the-art platform, complete with all support systems, that will help grow innovations and creative ideas into successful enterprises. It is the latest Jewel in Rungta crown.
