Varun Chandran, Founder and CEO of Corporate360 (C360), a Big Data software start-up based in India and Singapore, will soon open the State’s first rural IT park to be wholly owned by a start-up.
This will be the first co-working, co-living start-up rural ecosystem here, Chandran told BusinessLine. The 12,000-sq ft facility in Pathanapuram in Kollam district will have 200 co-working seats and co-living space for 30 start-up entrepreneurs.
Chandran’s firm C360 offers SaaS-based marketing data cloud software for B2B marketers to help discover sales leads, ideal buyer contacts, technology installations and competitive intelligence.
With 40 executives in five countries, it is a fast-growing multi-million-dollar revenue company with over 240 global customers.
