  "This is the first time that a Script Lab structure is being set up in India….. Baiscope Entertainment has also factored in stipends for the finalists so that they can concentrate only on developing their scripts and their expenses are taken care of. "

  Sankalan is a very highly needed relationship between producers on one hand expecting good scripts and raw talent on the other hand wanting  to develop their ideas into scripts which can be turned into films.  All they need is a little push and mentoring. This will provide them that.

• Writer - Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan (Ek Haseena Thi , Johnny Gaddar)
  " We keep saying that there is a tremendous lack of good scripts in our industry. Hopefully, this initiative will help attract new ideas and writers. There must be so many people all over the country who have stories to tell but perhaps dont know how exactly to go about it. Thelma and Louise, Rocky, Blood Simple Salaam Bombay and Juno were scripts written by first time writers. So i'm very optimistic."
