Students suggest resource for launching leather start-ups
31/01/2020
Students from Anna University’s department of leather technology raised the idea for an initiative called Flyers, which stands for “Front line leaders and young entrepreneurs’ resource for start-ups in leather”.
As reported in local media, the idea was shared by Joe Arun J., who spearheads this initiative, speaking at the 53rd Leather Research Industry get-together. Flyers, he said, would work with students to seed, nurture and foster the start-up culture. The long-term vision is to create links among the start-up promotional centres throughout the region.
LERIG 2020 was organised by CSIR (Council of Scientific & Industrial Research) - Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), in association with stakeholders of the Indian leather industry.
