How to apply to Entrepreneurship Promotion and Incubation Council (EPIC)
जाँचें कि आप सही जगह पर हैं
- EPIC एक तकनीक business incubator है जिसे एक कॉलेज ने प्रवर्तित किया है, स्वयं कॉलेज नहीं। आपको होस्ट कॉलेज का छात्र होना ज़रूरी नहीं है।
- यह तकनीक स्टार्टअप को प्राथमिकता देता है, और खासकर उन फाउंडरों को जो electronics, mechanical engineering या biotechnology में manufacturing उद्यम बनाना चाहते हैं।
- कार्यक्रम भारतीय नागरिकों के लिए बताए गए हैं।
कार्यक्रम चुनना
- सिर्फ विचार, यह तय नहीं कि क्या बनाना है: Idea Exploration, Identification and Assessment (1–3 महीने)।
- एक तकनीक विचार जिसे बाज़ार में परखना है: Idea Validation (3 महीने)।
- विचार validate हो चुका है, proof of concept और business plan चाहिए: proof of concept, market research और business plan कार्यक्रम (3–6 महीने)।
- Proof of concept तैयार है, prototype चाहिए: Prototyping and market validation (3–6 महीने)।
- उत्पाद बन चुका है, स्केल करने के लिए तैयार: Commercialisation (6–12 महीने)।
- व्यवसाय शुरू करने पर छोटा कोर्स चाहते हैं: 15 Days Entrepreneurship Development Program।
आवेदन कैसे करें
- लगभग 10 पन्नों की एक केंद्रित presentation तैयार करें, किसी भी प्रारूप में। EPIC चाहता है कि आप समस्या, उत्पाद और बाज़ार, बाज़ार का आकार, समाधान, प्रतिस्पर्धा और आप बेहतर क्यों हैं, market strategy, EPIC में रहते हुए आप क्या हासिल करना चाहते हैं, और EPIC से आपकी क्या अपेक्षा है, इन्हें कवर करें।
- तैयार होने पर EPIC से +91-9896000300 पर या info@epicambala.com पर संपर्क करें। कोई आवेदन पोर्टल या समय-सीमा नहीं बताई गई है।
- कई चरणों वाले चयन की उम्मीद रखें: ऑनलाइन आवेदन, स्क्रीनिंग, चयन पैनल के सामने pitch, और अंतिम चर्चा।
समीक्षक किन बातों पर ध्यान देते हैं
- EPIC कहता है कि वह दृढ़ता, परियोजना के प्रति जुनून, कड़ी मेहनत करने की क्षमता, ज्ञान और visualisation को परखता है।
- Contests के लिए बताए गए मानदंड थे समस्या की सही पहचान, समाधान की प्रासंगिकता, समाधान की अनोखापन, व्यवहार्यता, और पैनल के सवालों के जवाब आप कितनी अच्छी तरह देते हैं।
- आपसे कंपनी बनाने की अपेक्षा होगी, और EPIC कहता है कि वह इसमें मदद कर सकता है।
फंडिंग पर योजना बनाने से पहले
- EPIC की साइट पर grant और fellowship पेज राष्ट्रीय योजनाओं का वर्णन करते हैं, बिना call या समय-सीमा बताए। EPIC से पूछें कि क्या वे खुले हैं और कौन पात्र है।
- EPIC नहीं बताता कि incubation कार्यक्रम शुल्क लेते हैं या इक्विटी, इसलिए आवेदन से पहले पूछें।
About Entrepreneurship Promotion and Incubation Council (EPIC)
Entrepreneurship Promotion and Incubation Council (EPIC), जिसे EPIC TBI भी कहा जाता है, Ambala, Haryana में एक technology business incubator है। यह Ambala College of Engineering and Applied Research (ACE) द्वारा प्रवर्तित एक गैर-लाभकारी Section 8 कंपनी है, और इसे भारत सरकार के Department of Science and Technology (DST) के तहत NIDHI-TBI के रूप में स्थापित किया गया है। यह Ambala Cantt – Jagadhari Road पर कॉलेज ब्लॉक के भीतर है, और इसका घोषित फोकस technology business incubation है, जिसमें उन फाउंडरों को प्राथमिकता दी जाती है जो manufacturing उद्यम बनाना चाहते हैं।
EPIC कैसे काम करता है
EPIC खुद को नवाचार, incubation, उद्यमिता और commercialisation के लिए एक single point of contact बताता है। यह कुछ हिस्सों पर बना है जो एक-दूसरे का समर्थन करते हैं। Model Industrial Enterprise एक चालू व्यावसायिक उद्यम की तरह चलने वाला है, जहाँ छात्रों को internships और परियोजना भूमिकाएँ मिलती हैं। Project Centre का मकसद सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र की संस्थाओं और बड़ी कंपनियों की समस्याएँ उद्यमियों तक लाना है। Incubation Centre फाउंडरों का चयन और मेंटरिंग करता है। SPACE नाम का छात्र व्यावहारिक गतिविधि केंद्र दूसरे वर्ष से छात्रों को enterprise परियोजनाओं में लाता है। एक Thrust Area incubatees को उन production facilities तक कम लागत पर पहुँच देता है जो इसके प्रवर्तक अपने व्यवसायों में पहले से चलाते हैं। Incubatees कैंपस पर हो सकते हैं, Incubation Centre में जगह लेकर, या कैंपस से बाहर, अपनी जगह से काम करते हुए; दोनों को मेंटरशिप और EPIC की सुविधाओं का उपयोग मिलता है। बाहर से आए incubatees के लिए कैंपस पर hostel और mess सुविधाएँ उपलब्ध हैं।
Programmes
EPIC चरण के अनुसार incubation कार्यक्रमों की एक सीढ़ी सूचीबद्ध करता है। Idea Exploration, Identification and Assessment 1–3 महीने चलता है और किसी innovator को यह तय करने में मदद करता है कि किस पर काम करना है। Idea Validation 3 महीने चलता है। Proof of concept, market research और business plan development पर एक कार्यक्रम, और prototyping और market validation पर एक कार्यक्रम, दोनों 3–6 महीने चलते हैं। Commercialisation, उन स्टार्टअप के लिए जिनके पास पहले से उत्पाद है और जो उसे स्केल करना चाहते हैं, 6–12 महीने चलता है। पहले चार उद्योग मेंटरों की hands-on workshops के इर्द-गिर्द बने हैं (पहले में साप्ताहिक, बाकी में मासिक), और एक pitch से पैनल द्वारा चुने जाते हैं; validation, proof of concept और prototyping कार्यक्रमों में one-to-one मेंटरिंग भी शामिल है। एक 15 Days Entrepreneurship Development Program भी है, जो प्रतिभागियों के business plan लिखने पर खत्म होता है।
EPIC के पेज एक proof of concept और prototype grant और स्नातक छात्रों के लिए एक Entrepreneurship in Residence fellowship का भी वर्णन करते हैं। ये राष्ट्रीय योजनाओं के विवरण जैसे लगते हैं: पेजों पर कोई call, तारीखें या आवेदन का रास्ता नहीं है, इसलिए योजना बनाने से पहले EPIC से पूछें कि क्या वे खुले हैं। वर्षों में EPIC ने Idea Exploration contest श्रृंखला भी चलाई है, जिसका सबसे हाल का फाइनल presentation 27 Sep 2024 को था, साथ ही छात्र जागरूकता और छात्र उद्यमिता कार्यक्रम, और 2023 में ACE-EPIC Idea Challenge।
कौन आवेदन कर सकता है
कार्यक्रम तकनीक-आधारित, नवाचारी विचार वाले भारतीय नागरिकों के लिए खुले हैं, और सबसे पहला कार्यक्रम तकनीकी पृष्ठभूमि को प्राथमिकता देता है। आवेदकों को होस्ट कॉलेज का छात्र होना ज़रूरी नहीं है; Idea Exploration contest 18-45 वर्ष की आयु के सभी के लिए खुला था, जिसमें कामकाजी पेशेवर और 3 वर्ष से अधिक समय से कारोबार में लगे उद्यमी भी शामिल थे। Incubation के लिए फाउंडर से अपेक्षा है कि वह कंपनी बनाए, और EPIC कहता है कि वह इसमें मदद कर सकता है। EPIC कहता है कि वह दृढ़ता, परियोजना के प्रति जुनून, कड़ी मेहनत करने की क्षमता, ज्ञान और दृष्टि को परखता है। बाद के कार्यक्रमों के लिए स्टार्टअप आवेदन फ़ॉर्म से आवेदन करते हैं, और चुने गए स्टार्टअप एक चयन समिति के सामने pitch करते हैं। EPIC नहीं बताता कि उसके कार्यक्रम शुल्क लेते हैं या इक्विटी।
सुविधाएँ
Metalworking laboratory में CNC lathe, conventional lathe, 3D printer, cylindrical grinder, injection moulding machine, milling machine, power press, surface grinder, एक air compressor, और power और hand tools हैं। Electronics और prototyping laboratory में 3D scanners और printers सहित fabrication tools, temperature, pressure और humidity calibration standards, PCB design और inspection tools, और surface-mount assembly के लिए एक pick and place machine और stencil printer है। EPIC एक biotech lab सुविधा भी सूचीबद्ध करता है, जिसमें शोध और विकास कार्य के लिए high throughput instrumentation है, हालाँकि उसका पेज उपकरणों के नाम नहीं बताता।
मान्यता और उपलब्धियाँ
EPIC कहता है कि इसकी स्थापना 7 June 2019 के DST sanction order के तहत NIDHI Technology Business Incubator के रूप में हुई थी। DST की TBIs और NIDHI TBIs की संयुक्त सूची, Sr. 40, Ambala College of Engineering and Applied Research को host संस्थान और Entrepreneurship Promotion and Incubation Council को पंजीकृत incubator के रूप में नामित करती है, जिसका thrust area electronics, mechanical और biotechnology में manufacturing है। वह रजिस्टर कोई sanction अवधि या स्थिति नहीं दिखाता, इसलिए यह नहीं बता सकता कि फंडिंग चालू है या नहीं। EPIC Startup Haryana के approved incubators में भी सूचीबद्ध है, और कहता है कि उसने 7 July 2025 को निजी incubator के रूप में पंजीकरण कराया। उसके अपने पेज पर Chandigarh Startup Policy 2025 के तहत empanelment का प्रमाणपत्र दिखता है, जो 27/08/2026 को जारी हुआ; यह EPIC का अपना कथन है। वह ISBA सदस्यता भी बताता है।
EPIC का portfolio पेज 16 incubated स्टार्टअप सूचीबद्ध करता है, AI services और agritech से लेकर medical devices और drone motors तक, जिनके आँकड़े हर स्टार्टअप खुद अपने बारे में रिपोर्ट करता है। EPIC समर्थित स्टार्टअप की कुल संख्या प्रकाशित नहीं करता।
इसे कौन चलाता है
EPIC की कल्पना और मार्गदर्शन Ambala के सात उद्यमियों ने किया है, जो इसके advisory group में हैं और electronics, instruments, motors, packaging और education equipment के क्षेत्र में काम करते हैं। इसके पेज उनके संयुक्त अनुभव के दो अलग कुल आँकड़े देते हैं, इसलिए यहाँ कोई भी दोहराया नहीं गया है।
