VIKAS Incubation Program

VIKAS gives startups already in the IITTNiF incubation ecosystem a place to work and people to learn from. It is explicitly non-financial: the point is workspace, mentorship and a network, not a cheque. It runs for up to twelve months, and can be extended based on progress and on what the startup contributes back to the hub.

What you get

• A dedicated desk, a hot desk or a private office in IITTNiF's co-working space.
• Regular sessions with mentors who work in product development, business strategy and market entry.
• Introductions to entrepreneurs, technical experts and business leaders through workshops, seminars and events.

Who can apply

• Startups that are part of the IITTNiF incubation ecosystem.
• Startups building technology-driven products or services.
• Startups that can show the work could matter in their field.

How selection works: you submit an application describing the startup's vision, where it is now, and what it wants to reach during incubation, then take part in an interview or presentation with the Startup Selection committee.

How to apply: through the application link on IITTNiF's Startups and Entrepreneurship page. Questions go to startups@iittnif.com or 0877 2503737. Note that joining means agreeing IITTNiF may use your startup's name and logo in its own material, during and after the programme.
