Vengo Ventures offers Venture Assistance and Strategic advice to Entrepreneurs in all sectors like Telecom, Mobile, Internet Technologies, CleanTech etc.,. We support entrepreneurs to extend the potential of their ideas. We provide mentorship to Startups, work with Scaleups , provide advisory services in M & A, Etc.,

  4. Dear Dr Venugopal

    Saw your profile through LINKED IN Group on GLOBAL ENERGY AND POWER and thought to write to you about our work in establishing a national network of HABITAT ENERGY PARKs and our target is about 4500 odd GAUSHALAs in the country through our not-for-profit consulting outfit named HABITAT CONSULTING GROUP or HcG, as it is abbreviated.

    The whole effort is through a ROAD-MAP presented by me at Animal Welfare Board of India on 21 June, 2008 at its 103rd Executive Committee Meeting held in Delhi (I was invited to speak on the basis of my four set of Policy Perspective Papers on ‘empowerment and reforms’ in the Gaushalas in India. On the basis of the deliberation, a National Seminar on GAUSHALA AS NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AGENCY is being organised at Delhi on 2nd October, 2008.

    I am inviting your group in development of this ‘consulting exercise’ for the benefit of all the Gaushalas and also to the benefit of the environment and also for the interests of Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy.

    HcG is already in the process of creating HABITAT ENERGY PARK CONSORTIUM for providing ‘turnkey solutions’ to the ‘HABITAT ENERGY PARKS’ for various GAUSHALAs in the country.

    You shall be sent the relevant details of the Seminar at your e-mail address as well as we would be happy to concentrate on various ways we together can provide consultancy for formation of the CONSORTIUM and then, getting it make strongly functional for the benefit of all concerned.
