Pune-Based P Combinator Helping Startups With Cost-Effective Skilled Resources
Pune (India), 31st December 2021: P Combinator, a Pune-based virtual accelerator initiative has consistently been organizing startup meets and helping startups connect to business.
Dr Prakash Sharma, who conceptualized the industry-academic interface connects way back in 1996, faced multiple challenges to help academic institutes realize the merits of setting up entrepreneur varsities.
With over 25+ colleges wishing to closely work with P Combinator, utilize PASSION FRAMEWORK for creating startup spin-offs, it anticipates to impact over 50000+ students.
“To help startups get cost-effective skilled resources, using PASSION IT initiatives, advanced technology skill being provided to anyone keenly interested to build an IT career in less than the US $5 per month. The focus is on technologies as well as functional expertise. There have been many companies who have appreciated this initiative and colleges too are willing to explore the IT skilling to benefit their resources”, Dr Sharma said.
As the entire initiative is free, the whole monetization is through business and soft landing opportunities which emerge from this. Multiple tools have been developed to support the startup ecosystem and maybe this is the only accelerator that doesn’t rely on event or co-working space revenues.
He added, “Many have asked a question whether the venture follows any popular US accelerator models, the answer is ‘No’ as the focus is not on improving startup valuation but on impact creations. Valuation is a by-product of this whole effort. We have helped startups who may just wish to experiment with UV protection garments to startups who wish to reduce carbon. Many organizations are willing to now experiment and utilize academic interfaces to build products.”
P Combinator also helps many accelerators strategize, curate startups and interface them to the investment community. There are complimentary startups that provide services like legal /copyright, valuation, AR/VR, digital marketing, news platform, training and examination, data aggregation, analytics, intelligence, back office, marketing, sales, recruitment, HR, research, due diligence, government scheme interface and skilling associated with P Combinator.
“500+ mentors have shown active interest in this initiative and focused group members evaluate startups every week by contributing an hour to support and encourage entrepreneurs.
PCOMBINATOR got benchmarked as on par with the top 10% global accelerator in 2020 concerning competency development”
Dr Sharma’s blog which explains entrepreneurship using stories and poems which have been viewed in over 98 countries in past, had also got the best social media innovation award in past.
Probing, Innovating, Acting, Scoping, Setting, Owning and Nurturing dimensions of PASSION, evolved by Dr Prakash Sharma during his PhD studies with reference to startup ecosystem is used in context to review incubators or accelerators or corporate entrepreneurship or community initiatives to foster and encourage entrepreneurship spirit in the world.
P Combinator is active research on identifying the right processes, people, products, projects, price, promotion, placement strategies to build formulae for entrepreneur success. It is all about the multiple parameters which contribute to an entrepreneur’s life to build a startup. It enables multiple startup ecosystems to work closely and extract best from each resource involved in the ecosystem. Halal Angel Network, Global Startup ecosystem and many other ecosystems are being supported for their various endeavours.
There are many jobless youths or one’s who just do not know the way forward, helped and moved to the right path of career and personal maturity.
Many developing countries have shown active interest to replicate this model, however, the focus is on initially building varsities in India and leveraging all types of technology tools to build lean startups with an investment of less than US$5000 to spin a startup.
