Our Startups Speak

We came up with a startup idea for the PACE program by the DERBI foundation. The PACE program helped us build an effective business model and learnt about different aspects of starting up through renowned mentors from the industry and PACE actually gave us the PACE we needed for our startup.

Mr. Meghraj Kumbar

Co-Founder Befit

Deep tech products require a lot of research. However, commercializing research is tough as enterprises today are not very research-oriented, or startups cannot make an enterprise-ready product without research. Being a part of Derbi helped us bridge the gap between product research and productization due to the availability of mentors, academic experts and business experts on the same platform. It is a very rare mix in industry, and Derbi truly has brought the two biggest aspects of the success of a deep tech product. We also benefited from the government connections, monthly mentoring meetings, access to talent, workspace and lots more.

Mr. Madhu

Co-founder Ambee technologies Pvt. Ltd.

YES! DERBI Foundation so far made a significant contribution to the remarkable progress of SOUJHE in just a few months. DERBI helped us develop industry connections, which in turn expedited the customer onboarding process. In-house mentors guided me to come up with a suitable business as well as a commercialization plan. Received early-stage funding. Got access to a very strong network to grow at must faster pace

Mr. Soumitra

Co-founder Soujhe Technologies pvt ltd

It has been an amazing journey getting associated with Derbi and the team. As a startup, we encounter many difficulties; It makes it so much easier when you get strong people backing you. Monetary is another thing, Connects, Strategy, Team. Derbi makes sure someone is there in helping its startups.

I have seen multiple startups gain from the experience and infra support of the DERBI team. They are an extended arm of your company during its early stage.

Program to accelerate the creation of entrepreneurs was an exceptionally well-tailored course to suit the needs of a startup. The mentors were highly knowledgeable and had an engaging approach. During three months, What I gained was efficiency, organization, clarity of concepts and above all, a lot of less stress. The course content met my expectations to improve my capability in a very competitive marketplace. I would recommend this program to every startup. Thanks to DERBI and Wadhwani foundation for coming up with this truly beneficial concept of showing us the roadmap to entrepreneurial success.

Derbi is making a lot of effort to help startups move ahead. Unlike many other programs, they are more hands-on in their approach. Derbi has partnered with professional organizations that provide great insights on product and business sides. They also put a lot of effort to bring in the best people available to help the startups. Lastly, they take feedback (however trivial) seriously and make an effort to improve on it.

The PACE program, an initiative from DERBI Foundation, has been a great experience for us. The program scheduled in phases over 3 months was very useful, as it helped us revisit our basics at every phase and re-look at some of the assumptions. The best part of the program is the opportunity to interact and learn from the mentors, some of the best minds in the industry. Active engagement and constant feedback from Natarajan Sir and team have been very valuable for us.

Being selected by DERBI for incubation has been the best thing that has happened to HeartHealth Technologies since its inception in 2019. The HealthTech focus has given us exposure to Customers, Partners and Investors – from India and Globe. The mentorship has led to a refinement in our Product strategy and Go-To-Market plans and subsequent validation by Tier-1 Customers and Investors.

Thank You, Team DERBI, for guiding us through the early stages and setting us well on the way to success in a competitive market!

This is an excellent program, and it gives a 360-degree perspective about various aspects of a startup from problem definition, business models, IP, and Go to market. The commitment shown by the ‘DERBI Team’ is great.

Helped me a lot in introspection and improvisation. I would recommend all entrepreneurs participate.

DERBI’s PACE has helped EdubioSkills refine its Digital presence and Online sales/marketing. The program helped us refine the go-to-market strategy for the existing range of products based on a customer-centric approach.

I recommend the PACE program for early-stage startups in the Education & Healthcare sector.
