The Kerala Startup Mission ecosystem currently boasts 2,900 startups and has raised over $300 million in funding while Fincasa Ventures, a Dubai-based investment advisory firm, has participated in such agreements, including one with the prestigious IMT Business School Dubai, that has enabled students of the school to develop their business ideas and turn them into success stories.
