Very lately we came to know that Microsoft Ventures in India had introduced a helpful toll-free hotline exclusive to Indian startups and entrepreneurs with a resource to ask business and technical questions and named it as - "JumpStart". Open during business hours Monday-Friday (9am to 5pm IST), a team of dedicated professionals will be available to answer questions at - 1 (800) 200-2114, a toll free number across India.
The hotline phone service currently available in English and Hindi. Microsoft JumpStart has provided one call center in Delhi, but plans to develop to satisfy needs.
JumpStart will be staffed by dedicated professionals who have been trained by Microsoft to answer business and technical queries. Microsoft will apply the learnings from these calls to fine tune the Microsoft Ventures program, including the India Accelerator, to make it more impactful for its recipients.
JumpStart is an initiative of Microsoft Ventures, a global strategic partner for promising startups. By connecting with local lawyers, human resource service providers, and accountants to help entrepreneurs find solutions, JumpStart is nationally-recognized as a necessary catalyst for startup success in India.
Explaining the importance of this service, Kattayil Rajinish Menon, Director, Microsoft Ventures in India, who is responsible for community and ecosystem engagement, said: "Sometimes answering even simple questions about how to get started or which service provider to contact can really help startups avoid delays and cost overruns. While JumpStart cannot promise the success of a startup’s business, it can definitely help by educating entrepreneurs how to get started quickly by providing information on the vast resources available today."
