About Adi Shankara Technology Business Incubation Centre (TBI)
The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation sanctioned a Technology Business Incubation Centre at Adi Shankara in 2019. Alongside it the college describes a TBI Startup Boot Camp chapter supported by Startup Village, the college management and Kerala Startup Mission's Technopark TBI. Its objectives name students, faculty and alumni, and its focus areas are automation of traditional systems for rural communities, robotics and industrial IoT, rural technology, green technology, and AI and machine learning in healthcare. It is not a DST-recognised incubator and does not claim to be.
Who can apply
- Students, faculty and alumni of the college. Those are the three groups the objectives name.
- No eligibility list, deadline or application form is published, so an approach is a conversation rather than a submission.
What you get
- A three-stage path: pre-incubation, then incubation, then acceleration.
- Grant support for initial product development, with further scale-up, research and marketing grants released in parts.
- Marketing help: branding in digital and print media, product launch coverage, startup exhibitions, promotional video production, PR and digital marketing advice.
- Savings on tools through the Amazon, Google Cloud and HubSpot startup programmes, which are those vendors' standard offers.
- The campus FabLab for building and testing prototypes.
How to apply: there is no published intake. On campus, start with the incubation manager for the Adi Shankara TBI or with the IEDC office. From outside, the institute's general enquiry address is the only route, and no incubation inbox is published.
