Even today, stories of IIT graduates building a new startup are quite common.<br /><br />And this became the premise of IvyCamp, a platform from Ivycap ventures which helps startups connect with investors and corporates, leveraging the IIT, IIM alumni network.<br /><br />Vikram Gupta and Anju Gupta, friends from IIT Delhi, once got talking about the effective alumni networks abroad especially in the Bay Area. <br /><br />They launched IvyCap ventures  in 2011 with an aim to be driven by IIT alumni and one of its key investors too was the IIT alumni trust. In 2014, IvyCamp was launched which served as a platform to connect alumni, startup founders and corporates for investments, mentorship and partnership. <br /><br />“A lot of the alumni were approaching us as to how they could be more involved in the Indian startup ecosystem. We wanted to create an engagement platform that could leverage this vast alumni network,” said Gupta. <br /><br />Today, they have 5000 alums on board, 4000 startups and a global mentor and investor network.<br /><br />Two years ago, they started working with corporates. “Airbus approached us to work with them for their accelerator because we had the domain expertise to evaluate startups,” said Gupta. <br /><br />And that became another goldmine of projects, for corporates lined up for more and more accelerator programs and associations. <br /><br />IvyCamp recently partnered with HDFC Life to launch a program called Futurance, to create business opportunities in insurance. <br /><br />Over the years, the perspective of both startups and corporates have changed. Gupta said that startups have evolved and are no longer restricting their interests with investors and VC funds. They are now more eager to work with corporates to get the brand name, domain expertise and access to customers.<br /><br />On the other side, corporates too face many problems. “They have an R&amp;D arm but it doesn’t work as fast as the startup. They are realising that there is no readymade fixed solutions to the challenges and they will have to work with startups to get tailormade solutions,” said Gupta.<br />

This IIT and IIM alumni-backed fund is now pushing corporates to invest in and mentor Indian startups

Online personal care platform Purplle.com raises USD 8 million in funding

Bengaluru- and California-based tech firm <keyword id="3125256" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bidgely" source="Orion">Bidgely</keyword> on Thursday said it has raised $26 million (about ₹190.8 crore) in funding led by Moore Strategic Ventures. The round also saw participation from Accurant International as well as existing investors like Future Energy Ventures, Georgian and Constellation Technology Ventures, a statement said. <br /><br />The SaaS (Software-as-a-service) startup had raised ₹15 crore from IvyCap Ventures in March this year. The US-headquartered company has raised a total of $77 million in funding to date. <br /><br />The company offers artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions to electricity distribution companies to enable them to serve their customers better as well as modernise their grid operations. <br /><br />"As India's extensive smart meter penetration continues, this new investment enables Bidgely to provide tailored solutions that support the country's biggest utility needs: electricity theft prevention, grid stability and electric vehicle (EV) accommodation," the statement said. <br /><br />Working with a leading private Indian electricity distribution company (Discom), Bidgely has demonstrated the acute ability to detect non-technical losses through disaggregated smart meter data, it added. <br /><br />It, however, did not disclose the name of the customer. <br /><br />Bidgely is targeting multiple use cases, including AI-based short-term load forecasting, analytics-based customer indexing and asset predictive maintenance to solve multiple challenges for Discoms, the statement said. <br /><br />"Bidgely's Silicon Valley roots and strong engineering arm in India play not only to our strength of providing AI technology to established markets like North America and Europe but also to our ability to address key issues in emerging markets," Bidgely CEO Abhay Gupta said. <br /><br />He added that India's energy landscape, specifically, is evolving rapidly, and the company's work around theft detection and grid stabilisation goes to the heart of problems that cost the utility industry billions of dollars a year. <br /><br />Bidgely pioneered load disaggregation, holds 17 patents for its technology and partners with nearly 40 global utilities and energy retailers to glean valuable customer energy insights, using data from smart meters already installed in the home. It processes more than two billion energy data points a day. <br /><strong><br />SEE ALSO<br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtel-vodafone-idea-and-jio-welcome-telecom-relief-package-but-analysts-are-divided-on-whether-it-is-enough/articleshow/86252002.cms">Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Jio welcome telecom relief package, but analysts are divided on whether it is enough</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/telecom-auto-tata-group-and-other-top-stocks-to-watch-out-for-on-september-16/articleshow/86250470.cms">Airtel, Vodafone Idea, Tata group and other top stocks to watch out for on September 16</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/telecom-relief-package-airtel-vodafone-idea-get-four-year-moratorium-on-agr-dues/articleshow/86227218.cms">Indian government dials M for moratorium – Airtel, Vodafone Idea get a four-year relief on AGR dues</a></strong>
