About Incubation & Startup Support
ACIC Devbhumi Foundation runs its startup support in three steps rather than as a dated cohort, and it publishes no intake window, so you ask for a place directly.
What you get
- Pre-incubation: idea validation, design thinking and building a minimum viable product.
- Incubation: business strategy, prototyping, market research and product development.
- Acceleration: funding assistance, scaling strategies, market access and investor connects.
- Alongside these, guidance on intellectual property rights, business modelling and fundraising, co-working space, lab access, and introductions to mentors, industry experts and investors.
Who can apply
- Aspiring entrepreneurs, students, grassroots innovators and community women's groups, which is the audience the centre names on every page.
- The centre publishes no eligibility rules, no incorporation requirement and no geography gate, so confirm your own case with them before you plan around it.
How to apply: There is no form. Write to info@acicdevbhumi.org or call the centre, say which of the three steps you want and what stage you are at. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
