Anna University
CHENNAI: Raptee Energy, a startup which is developing electric motorcycles, has become the first startup to be incubated at Anna University. The university will provide working space, laboratory access, mentor support and connect with venture capitalists for the startup to build the product.
Anna Incubator, established with the support of Atal Innovation Mission, has selected 24 startups for pre-incubation course. The other 23 startups are in the final stage of pre-incubation programme. Unlike other players in the market, we are not trying to get components and assemble them. We are trying to build control units for electric vehicles, said Dinesh Ramkumar Venkatasamy, an alumni of Madras Institute of Technology, Chromepet, and co-founder of Raptee Energy.
