Nickson Sharma, Investment Analyst at North East Venture Fund, at the launch of Imphal Angels at Imphal, Manipur. “There is this perception that the Northeast means only tourism and agriculture. But there are some tech-based companies from here who are expanding to the Philippines and Vietnam, like one of our portfolio companies, Parking Rhino.” He feels that because of its location, the Northeast has remained isolated from the other startup ecosystems in India, but people are trying to bridge the gap with technology. “People like the governing members of the Imphal Angels have come back from the US and other countries and that is a good sign,” he says.
