Trichy startups get branding support from AU incubation centre
Trichy: The state govt-funded Anna Business Incubation Research Foundation (ABIRF) has extended branding support to nine promising Trichy-based startups in various sectors to enhance their visibility.
Under the Startup Brand Identity Launch programme, the foundation, which operates from Anna University Trichy campus, has extended suggestions and designed logos with brand names for the identified startups at a concessional rate.
Officials said that all nine startups, which are in their early stage of their business ventures involving technology, are run by youths aged less than 32. The startups are from property technology, food, automobile, and robotics sectors.
By using one of the startups nurtured by Anna incubation centre, brand logos and names for nine startups were designed by the centre. "Proper logo and brand names will enhance the startup's visibility, build brand equity, and accelerate market presence for early-stage ventures.
It is quite expensive if done outside, so we utilised the help of one of our home-grown design startups to support others," Vinoth Malaikani, chief executive officer in-charge of ABIRF, said.

The newly designed logos that explain the roles and fields of each startup were launched by J Innocent Divya, commissioner, Directorate of Technical Education, at ABIRF office on Friday.
"So far, our startup did not have a proper logo, and consumers were not understanding our domain. The new logo and brand name designed with the support of the incubation centre was cost-effective, and customers now understand our operational areas," Vinothkumar Palanivel, founder and CEO of LandMarket, a property tech startup, told TOI.
The incubation centre provided suggestions in branding and outreach initiatives for the startups to attract their target consumers.
ABIRF, which is supported by Entrepreneurship Development and Innovation Institute (EDII) of Tamil Nadu govt, has provided infrastructural support, mentoring, product development assistance, and investor connect services to the startups.

Totapuri mango farmers in a jam as crisis hits hard
1 2 3 Vijayawada: As the crisis surrounding Totapuri mangoes intensifies across Andhra Pradesh, farmers in the Nuzvid region are grappling with massive losses. With the pulp industry and jelly manufacturers halting procurement this year, demand for the Totapuri variety — primarily used for juice and not for table consumption — plummeted, pushing farmers into a difficult situation. Farmers are taking the direct sales route to overcome losses and markets in Vijayawada are flooded with Totapuri mango stalls in recent times. Traditionally, the Nuzvid region produces a large quantity of Totapuri mangoes towards the end of the season, along with Banginipalli and small juice varieties. However, unlike the superior Totapuri mangoes from Chittoor, Nuzvid's produce is often labelled inferior due to its lower sweetness levels. This year, pulp factories are offering a meagre ₹6 per kg, while middlemen are pushing prices down to ₹4 per kg. The state govt recently announced a ₹4 subsidy per kg, helping farmers receive up to ₹8. But with harvesting alone costing ₹3 per kg, farmers say they are still unable to recover their investment. In response, local farmers, with support from the agriculture marketing department, are adopting an innovative strategy — selling Totapuri mangoes directly to consumers as a table variety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Estas calculadoras muestran el valor de tu casa al instante (échale un vistazo) Nation Más información Undo Harvested just before full ripeness, these mangoes are being sold in markets like Vijayawada for anywhere between ₹25 and ₹30 per kg, bypassing middlemen and offering some financial relief. "No one pays us more than ₹4 in the wholesale market. Even after adding ₹3 in transport costs, selling directly to consumers helps us recover a part of our losses," said M Rambabu, a farmer from Agiripalli. Adding a new twist, social media influencers are promoting ways to make juice and jelly from Totapuri mangoes. Their tutorials are inspiring homemakers like P Lakshmi to try the fruit, boosting retail sales. Despite this temporary fix, farmers are urging the govt to find a permanent solution for the Totapuri mango market crisis, which resurfaces every season.

A senior state govt official said the proposal was recently submitted to the central finance commission and focuses on developing clean, safe and inclusive urban environments. "This roadmap is not just about infrastructure — it's about improving quality of life, integrating technology into governance and ensuring that urban development is both socially inclusive and environmentally responsible," the official said. A major portion of the funding — over Rs 50,000 crore — has been earmarked for strengthening integrated road networks and upgrading stormwater drainage systems. This includes Rs 30,000 crore for road infrastructure and Rs 27,500 crore for drainage, intended to improve traffic flow and reduce flooding risks in urban areas. For sanitation and public health, Rs 15,000 crore will go towards sewerage and septage management, while Rs 5,387 crore is set aside for their maintenance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Einfache Küchenzutat hilft besser gegen geschwollene Beine als Wassertabletten Mehr erfahren Undo Drinking water infrastructure is also a priority, with Rs 9,900 crore allocated for expansion and Rs 8,286 crore for upkeep to ensure safe drinking water for all urban households.

The official highlighted that the plan also emphasises inclusive welfare. "We've given due focus to women, children, the elderly and even animals. For instance, Rs 350 crore has been allocated for Safe City projects, Rs 850 crore for senior citizen care and Rs 525 crore for animal welfare," the official added. Technological upgrades include Rs 1,490 crore for digital libraries to promote learning and digital access, and Rs 1,400 crore for the Smart Palika initiative, which will integrate e-governance tools into urban administration.
