In a landmark step towards strengthening India’s export-led entrepreneurship ecosystem, Vision Karnataka Foundation (VKF) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Kishkinda University, Ballari district, at the Innovation Summit 2026 held at NIMHANS Convention Hall, Bengaluru.
The MoA was signed by Mr Kishor Jagirdar, President, VKF, and Dr T Nagabhushan, Vice Chancellor, Kishkinda University, in the presence of Mr Y J Prithviraj Bhupak, Pro-Chancellor, Kishkinda University.
The collaboration marks the launch of India’s first Export-Oriented Incubation Cluster, designed on a hub-and-spoke model with Kishkinda University as the central hub. The initiative aims to position the university as a launchpad for export-focused entrepreneurship and global value-chain development.
The cluster will focus on export readiness, compliance, global market linkages, product innovation, quality enhancement, and supply-chain integration. It will also address critical challenges faced by small and emerging exporters across finance, logistics, and market access.
Supported by agencies including APEDA, EXIM Bank, SIDBI, NABARD, and leading trade bodies, the initiative seeks to transform Kishkinda University into a national hub for export-led economic growth.
