Anish Anthony has made an impactive mark on T-Hub and beyond in the startup ecosystem in India. He converted T-Hub into a vibrant, self-sustaining, globally recognized incubator—thus raising its stature, while motivating entrepreneurs to dream big.

He also developed pro-bono services, due to which more than 1,000 startups received benefits.

Through his incubator programs, mentorship tie-ups, and market-penetration endeavors, he ensured that startups received holistic support in running their businesses.

During his tenure, daily T-Hub was conducting more than 5 mentorships and connecting 10 startups to service providers.

Anish Anthony was promoted to the COO with a much larger role where he displayed his prowess in bringing varied stakeholders together.

These specialized incubators have turned out to be the force that has driven many varied types of startups within the ecosystem and built strong expertise.

Understanding the need for sector-specific support, he operationalized the creation of multiple sector-specific sub-incubators in the T-Hub building.

During his tenure, there were 30+ innovation programs concurrently in progress at any point in time. T-Hub had executing projects worth millions of dollars which it put back into the startup ecosystem.

A sizable portion of the income came from upscaled revenue verticals like corporate innovation and academic innovation.

This way T-Hub moved away from dependence on the government for its operations and initiatives.

Another transformation in the T-Hub's operational model was to move it away from the government grant-based structure to a self-sustaining revenue model.

He started programs with all the stakeholders of innovation like startups, academia, corporates, and governments.
