Director of NITT, CEO/Chairperson of CEDI Dr. Mini Shaji Thomas was very much pleased to welcome the ON BOARD New Incubatees, Faculty and NITT Alumni startups. She expressed her appreciation towards the newly 
admitted on board incubatees amidst the pandemic situation. Even though CEDI follows rigorous three stage selection process, it has graduated a great number of commercially successful and valued startups, since its inception. The Constrained geographical location of CEDI at NITT, which is well remote from the main city does not 
impede the interest and attraction of the Incubatees. But, enthusiastically CEDI offers opportunities to innovative ideas and early-stage startup in a challenging way. She promised the new incubatee and startup to propose necessary incubation support and raise concerns at the right time to avoid any commotion.  Further she 
assured necessary incubation support will be provided from NITT on request. Finally, she wished all success to the Incubatee and startups on board in their entrepreneurial journey to deliver innovative products and solutions to their target markets which will benefit by enlarge the country.
