SCIKEY got onboarded onto SRKay’s accelerator ecosystem in late 2016, and since then team SCIKEY has been deeply engaged in cutting-edge research.

“I truly believe that SCIKEY, with its IPs, unique proposition and experiential offering has the potential to change the way organizations hire talent,” said Mr. Alok Kumar, Managing Partner, SRKay.

The research and solutions planned by SCIKEY team to enable a better quality of organizational productivity is path-breaking,” said Kesavan Srinivasan, CTO at SRKay’s accelerator.

SRKay’s incubation and acceleration ecosystem support ventures by providing them access to critical talent, global infrastructure, mentorship and access to funds, till the time they are profitable and on their own.
