The Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EiR) Program at IIT Tirupati Navavishkar I-Hub Foundation (IITTNiF) is designed to encourage aspiring innovators and first-generation entrepreneurs to pursue technology-based entrepreneurship by reducing early-stage risk and opportunity cost.
Powered by Operation Dronagiri and the Geo-Intel Lab at IITTNiF, the program supports individuals with high-potential, deep-tech ideas to convert them into product-driven and scalable startups. The initiative focuses on building technology strength, job creation, and social impact by enabling innovators to work full-time on their startup ideas.
Selected EiR fellows receive monthly fellowship support, structured mentorship, access to co-working spaces and prototyping labs, business and industry connect, and an opportunity for incubation at IITTNiF for further product development and commercialization.
