In the journey of a startup… an idea is just a seed. Adi needs a mentor to guide him every step of the way. More than that, we need an office to work, the investment should be enough to pay the rent and electricity bill, and if it is outside – there should be people who will meet the needs of accommodation and food until we can sustain ourselves. An incubation company called ‘Alamaram’ is providing all these free of charge to the youth from the villages: unlike others, it is collecting these with a service perspective without asking for a share in the profits. The inspiration behind it is…
The girl’s name is Mohana Deepa, she belongs to a village in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. He did B.Sc in Visual Communications due to his interest in drawing since childhood. She joined the job after her elders insisted that ‘I’ve studied enough… let’s get married’. While working there as a graphic designer – in relation to web graphic designing – she got the idea of ​​starting a startup. Deepika said that if she wanted to go to work, would she like to start a company… ‘Even after seven generations in our family, no one has done business… No way’. He did not decrease. It was then that Deepani was taken care of by ‘Alamaram’ Intubation Centre. He gave an office to put his ideas into practice. The mentors were established. With that help, Deepa established a nursery called ‘Hanatorium’ last year. Within a year, more than 100 companies have been converted into customers and four people have been given jobs.

– Not these two… 20 such start-up ideas were formed by ‘Alamaram’ company. All the founders of these startups are first generation aspiring entrepreneurs from rural areas. Ambi Murthy has started this organization for them without any profit motive. Incubation Center expects at least 7% share from each startup. All he needs is to have a good idea and believe that he can run a start-up for at least five years – Ambimurthy Alamaram stands by Ankura companies which means banyan tree. This is the background of this organization which provides shelter to many birds living up to its name…
Inspired by father
That means Murthy’s father Trimurthy used to work in Tamil Nadu Khadi Company. Although he was an ordinary government employee, he educated many poor children at his own expense. He used to give food every week. All this greatly influenced Ambimurthy. Having done engineering in VIT, he worked in an IT firm in California. Later came to India and joined Sridhar Maybu’s ‘Zoho’. He possessed the spirit of setting up big companies in small villages and towns. While working on behalf of Joho in England, Australia and the Netherlands, he saw the startup environment there closely. With those experiences, he set up a company called Go-Zen in Coimbatore with his friend. He faced many difficulties to establish himself as a first generation entrepreneur in that small town. However, he worked hard and got hundreds of customers in the country and abroad. While the company was slowly becoming profitable, Ambimurthy’s father Trimurthy died of illness. Ambi Murthy, who founded the ‘Alamaram’ company with the idea that his skriti and sevaspirti should last forever, enlisted the youth who were scared and looking at each other when the angel investors were asking for 70 percent shares. He is turning them into entrepreneurs. Go-Zen is using all the profits from his share of the company for this purpose. He wants people from any part of the country to come to him. Moreover – if the startups born in ‘Alamaram’ Incubation Center employ 150 people, he identifies those who have startup ideas among those employees and starts seed companies by them.
