Incubation at the Center for Incubation

This is the route a founder outside the university takes. There is no cohort calendar and no published deadline; you send in a form and the centre comes back to you.

Who can apply

• Any Indian national — a person, a company, an NGO or a group — working towards an innovative product, process or service with business potential for building an enterprise.
• You can be at any of five points: an idea at ideation stage, a planned business model, a prototype or proof of concept, ready for a pilot launch, or an existing business looking to grow revenue.
• Your idea has to fall into one of three kinds: technology, business model, or social.
• Students and women with an idea at ideation or early business-development stage are highly encouraged to apply.

What you get

The centre does not publish this. Its support page carries a heading and no detail, so ask before you commit.

How selection works: not published. The only thing the centre states about rejection is that wrong or incomplete information on the form can cause it.

How to apply: download the pre-incubation enquiry form and the final application form from the Apply Now page, fill in every field (write NA where something does not apply), sign it, and convert it to PDF. Then fill the short online form on the same page — name, company name if you have one, business category, startup stage, email, mobile and address — and upload the signed PDF. You can email the completed form to incubation.au@adamasuniversity.ac.in instead.
