The Origin of River Ventures
From the Founder
“Denying half the world access to resources and voices hampers an inclusive, tech-empowered society. In Industry 5.0, recognizing the absence of women in tech and education, the impact of climate change,
and building collaborative ecosystems are vital. It took a collective ‘someone’ to shape our modern world. I’m part of those ‘someones,’ envisioning women and minorities driving Industry 5.0’s future.”
– Dr. Viveka Kalidasan,
Founder-CEO, River Ventures

About Our Venture Building Programme
We offer 1-week to 3-month curated programmes designed to nurture deeptech entrepreneurship within universities, tech transfer offices, corporates and research institutes. These are built to:
- Inculcate the entrepreneurial mindset within deeptech researchers, through real founder sharings from those who have successfully commercialized and scaled their deeptech IPs
- Help deeptech ventures scale from ideation to validation and go-to-market
- Offer access to global mentors, IP experts, and investors
- Run the programme in complete online and hybrid model, with world-class instructors—incredible founders, great academicians, investors, policymakers, and corporate partners
- While we improve the deeptech IP portfolio, we also ensure these IPs are successfully built as innovations and scaled into geographies like APAC, North America and GCC
- Our venture building programmes are tailored to ensure students and researchers inculcate the entrepreneurial mindset and also learn the 101 of ideation to exit of deeptech venture creation
- All course materials and resources will be provided
We license our deeptech IPs from tech transfer offices and build ventures around them. We assemble the right team, provide critical resources, and secure early-stage investments. Our focus is on de-risking the venture through structured support and validation. Once ready, the venture is spun off as an independent company.
