The incubation centre at Delhi government's state stall in the India International Trade Fair (ITTF) has become a roaring success. Under the scheme 'Startup India , Standup India', launched in 2016 by providing a grant of 1.5 crore, a total of 43 start-ups have been incubated, ranging from social and marketing entrepreneurs to business enterprises and high-end technology.

The successful display at the fair comes days after Delhi's deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia met Telangana's skill development and IT minister KT Rama Rao.

"Visited T-Hub Telangana along with Satyendar Jain and a team of officers and business delegates. I must congratulate @THubHyd and @KTRTRS for the effective implementation of the ambitions. Entire country needs such fostering with entrepreneurship," Sisodia tweeted after the meeting.

The theme has been pushed by the Union government and state government with equal force. Students as young as 11 have come up with garbage electric notifiers for residents, which will cut down noise pollution as the residents will be notified by a message through an app.

"Residents will not have to wait for an alarm or bell but simply a notification which will tell them about the arrival of a garbage truck in their vicinity," said Ashray Mukhi, an 11 year-old startup enthusiast at Delhi government's incubation stall in Hangar 1.

Another young entrepreneur at the fair said his team has been working on water-repellent khadi clothes, stain-proof linen and block prints. The finished product is expected to hit the markets by February next year.

"Khadi is usually associated with the older generation, so we have decided to give it a modern touch," said Varun Sharma, an MBA graduate at the incubation stall in the fair.

Delhi Technological University has already initiated four startups. One supports farmers during low-rain period and another is an online platform to enable musicians, artists, photographers to acquire skill. The third startup is a music and production company and the fourth is an online community of literature enthusiasts.

In a series of start-ups incubated by Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, trade fair this year has an interesting startup where students and teachers can interact online for counselling during placements and internships.

The institute also has ReadersCrib - an e-commerce marketplace for renting books with a delivery time of three hours.

Neha Rajora, a student manning the incubation stall, said that aim is to fulfil the commitment of making NCT-Delhi a top destination for entrepreneurs and start-ups in the wake of digital push.

"This is being done in a bid to create policy for entrepreneurs in digital health and education, and to set up a Delhi state fund to invest and nurture start-ups and put Delhi on the startup map," said a government official.

The framework will establish incubation centres in educational institutions where the colleges and universities will provide office space, Wi-Fi connectivity, equipment required and access to lab facility to the upcoming entrepreneurs.
