Kaydence Media Ventures - the media arm of the UAE based Kaydence and Kianna are all set to launch its innovative news and virtual incubation hub platform focused on start-ups - Incubees - in India, Middle East, North Africa and Asia-Pacific.

The 'Incubees'&nbsp;initiative and a prototype of its platform were recently displayed at the Investor Demo Day held at Forum of Innovation Incubation Research and Entrepreneurship (FIIRE) hub in Goa this week.

"Our aim is to find an idea, nurture it and give it winds beneath its wing to fly. India, MENA and Asia-Pacific are regions bustling with new ideas, energetic young minds and purpose-driven innovations to make their regions and the world a better place. We need to encourage the process of ideation and give them a platform to shares their ideas, find mentors to help take an idea and build it into an enterprise; find partners and investors that can make the idea into a reality. Incubees - is that angel in the media space that helps the idea find a reality", stated Savio Rodrigues, Founder, Kaydence Media Ventures.

In highly competitive and vibrant start-up markets in India, MENA and Asia-Pacific, the Incubees team believes its unique focus on individuals, ideas and markets will carve a niche for its platform, "Most news portals in India, MENA and Asia-Pacific tell you stories of start-ups in the seed or growth or scaling stage and maturity, exist, IPO or M&amp;A stage but we are focused on the concept or idea stage, pre-see or validation stage and seed or early traction stage.

More importantly, the platform has an inbuilt service of a Virtual Incubation Hub to reach out to young minds at their homes and garages where their ideas are germinating," expressed Rodrigues. India is currently home to over 14,600 start-ups, approximately 270 incubation and business acceleration programs according to the Start-up India 2018-19 Report.

"We want to focus on those bright minds that don't have the voice and opportunity to take forward their ideas from their homes to the world, connect them to strategic mentors and create an eco-system of ideation and implementation of ideas.

In our first phase, we are focusing on India and the Middle East and in the second phase on the Asia-Pacific markets", expressed Myrtle Rodrigues, Co-founder, Kaydence Media Ventures.

Connaught Place (CP) in the national capital has emerged as the third most expensive office market in the Asia Pacific region with a rental of $88.8 per square metre (sqm) per month, according to a report.

Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in the megapolis emerged as the fifth most costly business district among the list of 20 international cities, with a rental of $80.1 sqm per month, an improvement of two places over Q4 2016, the report titled &#39;Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index Q4 2017&#39; by property consultant Knight Frank said on Wednesday.

The prime office pocket in Hong Kong topped the list with a rental of $212 per sqm.

In terms of rental appreciation, Bengaluru&#39;s central business district (CBD) recorded the third highest growth with a year-on-year increase of 5.40 per cent in the December quarter last year.

Connaught Place stood at the fifth spot, with a rental growth of 5 per cent, while BKC was ranked 10th with a 4 per cent growth.

The report expects rentals to grow in BKC and Bengaluru&#39;s CBD for the subsequent 12-month period, but hints at the growth to plateau in Connaught Place.

According to Samantak Das, chief economist and national director - research, Knight Frank India, the rental growth continues to be strong across prime office markets in India on account of an ongoing supply crunch in the country.

&quot;This, coupled with strong occupier demand is expected to drive the rentals up in the next 12 months in the prime office markets of Mumbai and Bengaluru. However, we expect rental growth to remain stable in CP,&quot; he said.

Overall the index recorded 1.1 per cent year-on-year growth in the last quarter of 2017, propelled by solid economic performances across the Asia Pacific region, which was primarily driven by rising rents in 12 out of the 20 markets tracked over the quarter.

The report further said that rentals across at least 16 markets are either set to appreciate or stay stable.

Das believes demand in co-working and technology-related spaces are expected a play a major part in pushing rents up.
