It was a dream come true for student entrepreneurs

For the five student entrepreneurs from Kerala, who are back after a visit to the Silicon Valley, it was a dream come true.
The five student entrepreneurs incubating their companies at the Kochi Startup Village are still to come to grips with the excitement of spending a couple of week at the Valley.
Aravind Sanjeev never thought that his dream company Scully Helmets would be operating out of one bench and four chairs at Silicon valley in California.
For friend and fellow entrepreneur Vijith Padmanabhan, the fact that the multi-billion mobile app company Evernote has expressed interest in associating with his modest Dolojo Labs Pvt Ltd is yet to sink in.

Fellow entrepreneurs Akash Mathew, Nithin George Charuvila, and Jibin Jose excitedly spoke about their meeting with legendary Silicon valley figures like Orkut Buyukkokten and Ron Conway.
Arvind Sanjeev, Jibin Jose, Vijith Padmanabhan, Akash Mathew, and Nithin George Charuvila were the first five winners of the maiden annual SV Square project of the Kerala Government. SV square was officially rolled out by Startup Village on January 30, last year.
The objective of the initiative is to provide the brightest student entrepreneurs the exposure to the renowned entrepreneurial culture of the Silicon Valley and eventually enable them replicate the success back home.

After their return, the young entrepreneurs narrted their success stories and the Silicon Valley experience before the State Cabinet meeting held at Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
