According to startup entrepreneur Robin Alex Panicker, product development companies take longer to build when compared to services companies. Without subsidized office facilities and other benefits, the cost of a startup company will increase significantly after the incubation period.

KSUM has revealed plans to launch Youth Entrepreneurship Development Program (YEDP) to nurture and mentor future CEOs. The aim of YEDP is to facilitate technology led innovation and entrepreneurship among school and college students as well as aspiring entrepreneurs.

It has already received a state funding of ₹20 crore (about $3 million). The selected startups will receive funds by the next month.

KSUM was formerly known as the Technopark Technology Business Incubator (T-TBI). T-TBI was a society under the Travancore Cochin literary, Scientific and charitable Socities Registration Act XII of 1995.
