We were thrilled to be a part of SpaceBasic Connect, a celebration of the company's team, customers, and the incredible journey they're on together!

Our Turbostart Global CEO, Venkat Raju, had the pleasure of participating in a fireside chat to discuss the past, present and future of EdTech and SaaS startups. ️ The conversation was insightful and inspiring, highlighting the crucial role that technology is playing in shaping the education landscape.

The event delved into the accomplishments of SpaceBasic in 2023 and the anticipated trajectory for 2024, featuring insightful case studies showcasing the tangible impact created.

Here's a little more about them. It all began with SpaceBasic recognizing a gap from their personal experience: over 80% of Indian universities lacked technology support for non-academic aspects like housing, cafeterias, and access control. These manual processes were inefficient, time-consuming, and led to fragmented data. 

Enter SpaceBasic! Their AI-powered SaaS platform fills this void, creating a one-stop digital workspace. 

And the Impact is Real! SpaceBasic's clients have seen impressive results, including:

⬇ 60% reduction in time spent on campus housing management
⬇50% decrease in food waste in mess facilities
⬆ 60% faster access control management

We are proud to have SpaceBasic as part of our Turbostart portfolio, and we are excited to see what the future holds for this innovative company!

Join the Conversation! What are your thoughts on the potential of AI and technology in education?
