Born from a question.
Built for every researcher.
CoHypo was not born in a boardroom. It was born from a researcher sitting alone with a strong hypothesis and no one credible to build it with. We built the platform we always needed - and opened it to every researcher in India who has felt the same.
The gaps we saw.
The platform we built.
India has hundreds of thousands of active researchers. The output is not proportional to that talent - not because of a lack of ideas, but because the system was never designed to help researchers find and work with each other effectively.
Institutions demand, but do not enable
Most Indian universities require annual research contributions for employment, promotion, and performance review. Yet they provide no structured platform for finding collaborators - leaving faculty to navigate this on their own, often with no success at all.
Career pressureSkill gaps stall strong research
A researcher may have a strong theoretical framework but lack the SPSS, R, or AMOS expertise to execute it well. Colleagues at the same institution often cannot fill that gap. Without the right skill, the research stalls - or is compromised before it begins.
Methodology gapThe Scopus wall is real
For most researchers, the first Scopus-indexed publication feels like an impenetrable barrier - not because the research is weak, but because navigating journal standards, reviewer expectations, and methodology rigour without an experienced co-author is genuinely difficult.
Publishing barrierIndependent researchers have no entry point
Researchers without an institutional affiliation face an almost impossible situation. Without a university email or formal position, they are invisible to potential collaborators. Their ideas are sound, but they have no door to knock on. CoHypo gives them one.
Accessibility gapInter-university collaboration is underutilised
Inter-university research collaboration is one of the key metrics in QS World University Rankings - yet most Indian institutions do not have any mechanism to facilitate it. Departments are siloed. Researchers at different universities almost never meet with intent to build together.
Rankings and visibilityAuthorship disputes damage careers
Without any formal structure for logging contributions, many collaborations end in disagreement over authorship order, credit, and ownership. These disputes are damaging, and in the absence of documentation, there is rarely a fair resolution. CoHypo makes this transparent from day one.
Attribution riskVision, Mission
and Values
We envision an India where every researcher - regardless of institution, city, seniority, or resource - has access to the collaborators, the tools, and the peer community needed to turn a strong hypothesis into a published, peer-reviewed contribution to human knowledge. Where academic isolation is no longer the default condition of Indian research.
CoHypo's mission is to give every Indian academic researcher a structured, trusted, and effective platform to find the right collaborator, co-build their research, go through peer review, and publish in Scopus-indexed journals - with every stage of that journey supported by purpose-built tools and a verified community of researchers.
Every researcher deserves
a collaborator
CoHypo was built by a researcher who understood what it meant to work on important questions without the right people beside him. That experience is the compass for everything we build. You bring the hypothesis. We bring the rest.
