“Being a knowledge and
expertise based service provider the fact that we were incubated by IIM gave us immediate
credibility which is the most important criteria for our business. This was the fastest way
to start a business. A ready infrastructure and an advisory board meant that we could focus
on what we are good at – which is developing our services, rather than on chasing
administrative issues of setting up a new company. We are in the process of relocating
ourselves to a new office. It really hurts when we think about it. Everything about NSRCEL
was fantastic – from the green environs, to the vibrant academic and student bodies around
we felt really young and energized. We will miss NSRCEL. Being located in the IIM gave
confidence to our customers about the data security and the IT infrastructure available to
us. This is the backbone of our services and gave us a head start over our competitors. The
fact that we could collaborate with a World Class faculty for developing cutting edge work
gave us a huge competitive advantage.

Wonder
Grass |
 |
| Graduation March 2009 |
|
Wonder Grass, is an entrepreneurial initiative that strives to bring
bamboo and bamboo-based building systems into the mainstream of construction industry and
provide ‘Habitat solutions’ which are sustainable, affordable and beautiful!!
Bamboo-based construction industry is sustainable, responsible and
is inclusive in nature; A Bamboo-based Building-solution can proliferate when it will add
’value’ in the lives of its inhabitants, a common man, more than what the conventional
building solutions are able to do in today’s context.
A sustained and entrepreneurial effort in bamboo-based construction
system will continuously bring down the building-cost by improving the efficiency of
supply-delivery chain of bamboo-based systems. This would make it that much easier for a
common man to access ‘Building-services’ and in the process generate multiple opportunities
of wealth creation in the Rural and Semi-urban areas.

“Although, Wonder Grass
is a start-up venture which operates in a Building-industry segment, which is completely off
the framework of high-tech and information technology space, NSRCEL showed the faith and
gave us the opportunity to be part of an exciting campus of IIMB. Our idea to be part of the
incubation was to strengthen our business-model, which we had conceived, to test-pilot the
model, to understand the patches-flaws in the model, and accordingly build a better model.
Our journey at the NSRCEL has been full of learnings - understanding the nuances of the
business-venture, day-to-day aspects of business operations and others. One of the best
parts of being at NSRCEL, I find is the opportunity of interaction with peer-group. Everyone
is motivated and is working on some issue or the other. „

“NSRCEL gave us a good
starting point for our venture. With all facilities to kick start operations, it was easy to
start the company rolling. It would have been a much better experience if NSRCEL went beyond
simply leasing out space - there is a lot of hand holding that startups need and this is an
area that NSRCEL needs to work on. India needs young entrepreneurs in large scale to create
global businesses and create employment opportunities. This can only happen, when
entrepreneurs are supported and nurtured by many NSRCEL like institutions across the country
to hand hold them, transform their ideas into successful business models. We have been
fortunate to be incubated out of IIMB-NSRCEL to leverage its comprehensive echo system of
infrastructure facility, advisors and faculty members. We sincerely thank Mr. NS Raghavan,
NSRCEL staff, administrators, faculty members and supporters. „
