Strengthening Innovation Bridges
The Armenia-India Business Council (AIBC) is proud to continue its mission of fostering cross-border collaboration by connecting leading innovation ecosystems in India and Armenia. In line with this vision, Mr. Rananjay Anand, Co-Founder and Secretary General of AIBC, recently paid a visit to the headquarters of Posspole, a rapidly emerging innovation and high-tech ecosystem enabler based in Bangalore, India.
During the visit, Mr. Anand held a detailed meeting with Mr. Kiran Rudrappa, Co-Founder and CEO of Posspole. The discussions centered on exploring strategic avenues for collaboration between the Armenian tech and startup sector and Posspole’s dynamic platform that offers end-to-end support for high-tech product creation, prototyping, compliance testing, manufacturing, and market access.
Posspole has carved a unique niche in the Indian and global innovation landscape by providing a 360-degree ecosystem that empowers startups and enterprises across diverse sectors—including Artificial Intelligence, Defense, Aerospace, AgriTech, Health-Tech, Sustainable Mobility, and Advanced Manufacturing. During the tour of the company’s cutting-edge facilities, Mr. Anand witnessed firsthand some of the innovative solutions being developed at Posspole, as well as their collaborative approach that connects startups with industry, government, investors, and international partners.
Mr. Anand took the opportunity to brief Mr. Rudrappa on Armenia’s own fast-developing IT and innovation ecosystem, highlighting the country’s highly skilled talent pool, favorable investment climate, growing number of startups, and its strategic geographic location as a gateway to Eurasian, Middle Eastern, and European markets.
The two leaders discussed the potential for Posspole to support Armenian startups and SMEs by offering access to their infrastructure, mentorship, and manufacturing capabilities, enabling Armenian innovations to scale faster and enter new international markets. The idea of developing a structured partnership or a soft-landing program for Armenian innovators at Posspole was also explored.
This meeting marks a significant step toward deeper engagement between Indian and Armenian innovation sectors, with mutual recognition of the value that each ecosystem can offer. AIBC looks forward to facilitating continued dialogue and eventual partnerships that can strengthen this innovation corridor.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Rudrappa and the entire Posspole team for their warm welcome, inspiring vision, and openness to collaboration.
