Discussing Bengal's Startup Ecosystem With STPI

Meeting STPI leadership to discuss Bengal’s startup ecosystem

STPI Kolkata created an opportunity to interact with Shri Arvind Kumar, Director General of STPI - Software Technology Parks of India.

The conversation focused on Bengal’s startup ecosystem and the lived experience of building as an entrepreneur from the region. It was also a chance to speak about the support Hornet received from Webel-BCC&I Tech Incubation Centre, from the earliest steps to mentor access and connections that helped the company move forward.

The meeting reinforced a belief that Bengal can become a serious startup hub with the right support, institutional push, and confidence from founders building from here.
