  • The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) will set up 12 centers of excellence across the country to build products and solutions in areas such as healthtech, IOT and SmartAgri as it looks to nurture small companies and startups to work on these solutions. “These CoEs will play a pivotal role in revving up R&D, innovation, IP creation, and product development, making India a product nation in times to come.” Said Omkar Rai, director general of STPI. These centers will be started in cities such as Bengaluru, Gandhinagar, Patna, Bhubaneshwar, Gangtok and Itanagar. The tech promotion body already has over 13 CoEs across the country. For nurturing the startup ecosystem and creating world-class software products by Indian startups, STPI has embarked on the journey of establishing domain-centric centers of excellence in various emerging technology areas, it said in a statement. STPI started its journey from three centers. It now has 60 centres across the country, and 52 of them are in Tier II and tier III cities. The $194-billion IT industry, comprising more than 18,000 firms that directly employ 4.47 million people, accounts for 8% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
