Ankur Mittal, the co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures, says, “IPV works closely with more than 25 exclusive communities associated with e-cells, universities, colleges, and alumni associations including IITs and IIMs, across India. Alumni communities and campus start-ups have always been of great importance to us as some of the best startups have originated from them.”

As a result, efficiencies will increase, good start-ups will have the opportunity to scale early, and long-term value will be created across the nation.
