Aravali Incubation

Check which page is current before you apply

Aravali Incubation has two web presences that disagree with each other: one shows only closed, past events, while the KITES site presents the Summer Camp as open. The two also list different start dates for the same camp. Confirm the live intake and the correct application route with the organisation before you act on either page.

How the camp admits students

The KITES Summer Camp is a student programme rather than a startup incubation intake. Register online through the KITES site. Government school students register free; private school students and out-of-station participants register and pay a fee, with out-of-station places covering hostel stay and meals.

Who it is looking for

The camp is aimed at students in the 12th grade and above from any stream, with a stated focus on government school graduates, first-generation learners and students from communities near Jaipur. Come prepared to build and pitch a startup idea over the course of the camp, since it ends with a demo-day pitch to investors.

Aravali Incubation is an initiative powered by the Kaushalam Foundation, based in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Its main published activity is a student entrepreneurship training camp run under KITES, the Kaushalam Institute of Tech Entrepreneurship and Skills. The initiative describes itself as approved by the Department of Education, Government of Rajasthan.

What it runs

The centre's visible programme is the KITES Summer Camp, a 30-day entrepreneurship training camp for students. The camp teaches students to build a startup, work through the Business Model Canvas and pitch to investors on a demo day, ending with a certificate of completion. It is taught bilingually in Hindi and English, and the KITES page describes its faculty as Harvard and MIT trained. The stated aim is to move young people who may have expected only labour or salaried work towards starting ventures of their own.

Who can apply

The camp is open to students in the 12th grade and above, across all streams. The published eligibility notes a particular focus on government school graduates and first-generation learners, and names communities around Mahpura and Bagru near Jaipur. Government school students can join free; private school students and out-of-station participants pay a fee, with out-of-station places including hostel accommodation and meals.

Where it operates

The initiative is based with the Kaushalam Foundation on Ajmer Road in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Its event listings also give a Jaipur venue described as the Aravali Incubation Campus, and host sessions at Isys Softech in the city. People searching for it may find it under the Aravali Hub or KITES names.

A note on its web presence

Aravali Incubation is reachable through two separate sites, and they do not line up. One is an events and community page that currently shows only past events, with registration closed; the other, the KITES site, presents the Summer Camp as active with open registration. The two also give different dates for the same Summer Camp. Anyone applying should confirm the current intake and the right place to apply directly with the organisation before relying on either page.
