A company under the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), which primarily connects devotees with temples through a cost-free Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution, has bagged two prestigious awards in a week’s time, boosting its profile fuelled by three years of ground-breaking “BookSeva”.

InIT Solutions Private Limited was honoured with the “Emerging Startup of the Year 2023 Award”, followed by another at the Entrepreneurship Conclave 2023 (EC2023) earlier this month, a press release said on Saturday, 21 October.

InIT’s achievements

The 2011-founded InIT, whose CRM solution is tailored specifically for temple administration, won the first of the two honours on 30 September at the HSX2.0 event hosted by Headstart at SAP Labs Bangalore, the press release stated.

The second came at the 7-8 October EC2023 organised by the World Konkani Centre, Saraswath Chamber and UK & Co, it added.

InIT won the “Emerging Startup” recognition at a competition between 1,000 start-ups from across the country.

The company emerged in the standout selections among the 70 start-ups shortlisted, earning it the spotlight at the Bharat Pitchathon 2.0.

As for the EC2023 honour, the event recognised InIT Solutions Private Limited as one of the Top 5 start-ups that had excelled at SharkTank — the pitching event.

The event was held before experts such as Infosys’s former director Mohandas Pai and Jyothi Labs’s ex-CEO K Ullas Kamath, besides 300-plus visionary entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate representatives from across India.

Each of these top start-ups, including InIT, won a prize of ₹5 lakh, the statement further said.
