Maharashtra Government has adopted this technology with an objective to optimise the existing process of organ donation. 4 modules are in the process of implementation with the Government of Maharashtra. The company started operations in the year 2017.

Chainworks is an incubatee of SINE. The existing process of organ donation is highly regulated with multiple stakeholders who largely work on stand alone basis coupled with the emotional pain of patients and family members. The lead entrepreneur Jitendra faced mutliple levels of challenges while implementing the solution with the bureaucracy and other formailites. SINE offered on tap mentoring support in terms of business strategy, legal aspects, financial strategy etc at various points so as to ensure smooth implementation with the Government and other stakeholders of the organ donation process. The critical role which the officials of SINE played was to ensure the morale of the entrepreneurs remained high despite multiple rejections.

The lead entrepreneur Jitendra hails from a humble family, which instilled the passion in him to make a difference to the life of a common man. The team’s entrepreneurial skills along with the support system of SINE is poised to accelerate the growth of Chainworks across every State in India.

Incubators in today’s world are the first risk takers in the start-up eco-system along with the innovator/entrepreneur at an early stage during the start-up journey. Therefore, the synergies of mindset between the innovator and incubator are mission critical in the unchartered path. The stakeholders of the start-up ecosystem work constantly and are exposed to challenges due to the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous (VUCA) environment. Therefore, decision, strategies are unconventional in nature that are taken more on gut and intuitive skills and less on logic.

A successful incubator prefers to place a larger bet on the entrepreneur’s conviction and belief than own conviction and experience. Therefore, people with a positive mindset are the greatest asset for a robust start-up eco-system. The start-up eco-system has evolved over a period of time with an objective of supporting start-ups. The stakeholders of the eco-system have worked with a basic principle of givers gain. Since the opportunity is vast, there is an unsaid understanding amidst the stakeholders that collective and collaborative efforts are the way forward. The stakeholders of the ecosystem also plays an important role in mentoring the start-ups by inculcating ethics and values with an objective of creating a sustainable profitable business leading to creation of high economic impact in the country.

The start-up eco-system will continue to remain at the helm of affairs to facilitate the process of capturing opportunities and contributing to the economic growth of the country. Incubators like SINE would continue to provide 360 degree support to the startup community with an objective of creating a conducive environment at the grass root levels for innovation and entrepreneurship. Stakeholders like SINE would continue to act as mentors and guide to upcoming incubators with knowledge skills and competencies to build a sustainable business model and proactively participate with the policy makers of the start-up eco-system. As the economic environment has become very dynamic across the globe, newer challenges and gaps are emerging in the start-up eco-system.

Ability to capture the dynamic trends, foreseeing possible challenges and gaps and planning and executing customised strategies to mitigate them with a positive mindset shall be the need of the hour in the future.
