The Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) will spearhead the operations. With CIH, KSUM aims to identify and support innovative start-ups in the construction sector from all across the nation.
The selected start-ups will receive expert guidance on costeffective construction techniques and have opportunities to connect with industry experts and professionals.
