KOLKATA, Nov 24: Neotec Hub, a part of the Ambuja
Neotia Group that is currently supporting around 25 startups,
plans to take onboard more for mentoring and enabling them to
earn revenue, a company official said.
The hub supports startups in the fields of real
estate, healthcare, education, sports, entertainment, fintech,

and more than 50 per cent of them are in the revenue stage. We
plan to take onboard more startups in the days to come,”

He said the hub provides seed funding of Rs 25 lakh to
each startup and subsequently, prepares them for receiving
more funding from angel investors and VCs.
Neotia claimed Neotec Hub is the only platform floated
by a corporate entity in the city for incubating startups.
“Our aim is to support the startup ecosystem in
Kolkata and the eastern region and provide all required
support and mentorship”, he said.

Hub, he said, “BookingJini, which is a platform empowering
hotels to generate direct bookings from their websites, has
raised Rs 3 crore seed funding from Mumbai Angels.”
Incorporated three years ago, the goal of the hub is
to create four success stories by April 2020, he said. (PTI)
