The proposed infrastructure is meant to provide an ecosystem for fostering start-up culture in the state.

REPL has been selected as a consultant for the project by Info Tech Corporation of Goa Ltd (ITG), the state government’s nodal agency for implementing the project. ITG plans to develop the area allocated for the project. In the first phase, it will work on a 1,33,100sqmt area, proposed to be built as start-up village. ITG will avail REPL’s consultancy services for this project.

The proposed space will have office space with ready-to-use facilities, conference rooms, digital library, cafeteria, hostel facilities, retail and multi-use commercial space, pedestrianized park, recreational activities and other associated support facilities and services.

As per the terms of the contract, REPL will be responsible for preparing conceptual plans, architectural and engineering drawings and detailed estimates for the proposed park, in consultation with concerned departments and agencies of the state government. The consultant is also required to prepare notice inviting tender (NIT) documents, appraise received bids and monitor project implementation. Goa, which is known for its beautiful beaches and other tourist attractions, is among the first four states to have a start-up policy, which shows its futuristic vision.
