Periyar Technology Business Incubator
 

With a single-minded focus on promoting ventures in the herbal medicine space, Periyar TBI has incubated 7 companies since its founding in 2006.

Periyar is associated with Periyar Maniammai University (PMU), which is synonymous with innovation and rural cool, a vibrant yet compact environment offering top-class education that is on par with the best anywhere. PMU is renowned for its focus on working hard and in developing all round personality traits of students and research scholars of the University. The University’s quality assurance and enhancement measures aim at maintaining and improving the quality on a par with international standards. The focus is on educating, enabling and empowering the youth of the Nation, particularly the women and first generation graduates and to mould them as useful citizens and able leaders. The University has three Schools with sixteen departments, five Centers and adequate academic and administrative facilities.

Registered as a Section 25 company, PERIYAR TBI, a grant-in-aid project of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India through its National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board was established to specialize in herbal medicine, the nature’s gift to human health. In view of the great resurgence of interest in the use of medicinal plants, the Periyar Technology Business Incubator has chosen the important area of herbal health to work on. Many traditional plant-based therapies are back in use and find increasing applications. While the demand of herbal products is increasing globally, India’s share in the international market is less than 0.3%. The small and medium scale sector in India is expected to play a major role in the growth of this industry. Considering the prevailing agro climate in the region and the popular practice of naturopathy and herbal medicine traditionally, among the local population, the Periyar Technology Business Incubator is well poised to grow as a successful health care initiative.
