Sonipat(Haryana) [India], November 3: Rishihood Venture Foundation (RVF), associated with Rishihood University, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Erito Ventures Private Limited to explore opportunities for collaboration in startup mentorship, entrepreneurship development and investment access. The MoU outlines a shared intent to strengthen the startup and innovation ecosystems associated with both organisations. By facilitating interaction among entrepreneurs, faculty members, alumni, industry experts and potential investors, the initiative aims to support the development of an enabling environment for emerging ventures.
Under the MoU, both organisations will explore opportunities for joint initiatives, including workshops, hackathons, demo days, networking events and thematic entrepreneurship programmes. These initiatives are intended to encourage knowledge-sharing, foster entrepreneurial thinking and create opportunities for founders to engage with the broader startup ecosystem.

Commenting on the collaboration, Prashant Narang, Founder of Erito Ventures, said:“India does not have a shortage of entrepreneurial ideas. What many promising founders need is an ecosystem that helps translate those ideas into sustainable, enduring enterprises. Through our collaboration with Rishihood Venture Foundation, we hope to bring together the strengths of entrepreneurship education, mentorship, industry experience and investment networks. Our larger vision is to contribute to a generation of entrepreneurs who don’t just create startups, but build institutions that generate lasting economic and societal value.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Om Sovan Das, Director of Rishihood Venture Foundation, said: “At Rishihood Venture Foundation, our focus has always been on moving beyond theoretical entrepreneurship to build real, market-ready ventures from day one. Partnering with Erito Ventures bridges an essential gap between raw campus innovation and the disciplined execution demanded by the market. By pairing high-potential student founders with seasoned operators, tailored venture-building frameworks, and institutional investment networks, we are setting up an engine that nurtures bold ideas into sustainable, venture-backed enterprises.”
Adding to this, Soumya Aggarwal, Co-Founder & COO of Rishihood University and RVF, stated: “Rishihood University was founded with the vision of reimagining higher education as a catalyst for nation-building and impactful leadership.
