RAIPUR: TiE Raipur was officially launched at Hotel Sayaji, bringing Chhattisgarh into TiE’s global network spanning 60+ cities. The event saw participation from entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, academicians, and policymakers, highlighting the growing momentum of the state’s startup ecosystem.

The chapter will be led by Manish Mohta as President and Abhinav Khandelwal as President-Elect, a capital markets expert in fundraising and IPO advisory. TiE Raipur aims to support over 100 startups annually and facilitate investments worth ₹100–300 crore over the next three years, with a focus on mentorship, investor access, and AI-driven guidance

“Chhattisgarh has strong entrepreneurial intent, but limited access to structured networks and capital. TiE Raipur aims to bridge this gap by creating a more connected and disciplined ecosystem for founders,” said Khandelwal.

The chapter will operate through focused platforms, including Students Entrepreneurs Lab, Women Entrepreneurs Forum, Tech Founders Forum, Industry Forum, Angel Circle, and Founders Forum, supporting startups across stages from ideation to scale.

The initiative is expected to accelerate innovation, investment, and job creation in the region, positioning Chhattisgarh as an emerging hub in India’s startup landscape. TiE, a global non-profit, supports entrepreneurship through mentoring, networking, education, funding, and incubation across multiple countries.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
