Innoscale Global Foundation

Pick the right hub first

• Sector decides the hub. The programme runs through sector hubs for agri tech, med tech, edu tech, defence tech, sports tech and sustainability. Choose the sector that fits your product on the form.
• Check the location. The site names hub cities differently on different pages, so ask which city your cohort would meet in before you commit to moving.
• Agri-tech founders in Uttar Pradesh. Innoscale is on the state's StartinUP list of recognised incubators with an agriculture focus, so this is the sector it is registered under there.

How applications work

• Apply on the Apply page. The form has three short sections: founder and startup details, what support you want, and a pitch deck upload in PDF or PPTX.
• You can apply before you incorporate. The form has an option for startups that are not yet registered.
• Applying is free. Innoscale says it responds within 14 days and reviews each application personally.
• Shortlisted teams present to a panel of domain experts, investors and government representatives.
• General questions can go to hello@innoscale.global.

What the programme expects

• Real conversations. Months 1-2 are a validation sprint in which you spend 30+ days with the people who have your problem.
• A pilot. Months 9-11 are meant for a field, hospital, school or mandi deployment with measured results.
• Be ready for Demo Day. The year ends with a Demo Day for investors, corporates and government programme managers.

Questions worth asking before you join

• What the programme costs once you are selected, and whether it takes equity.
• The terms and conditions of the seed grant.
• Which cohort is running now and which startups are in it.
• Which office or partner site you would work from.

Innoscale Global Foundation is a startup incubator run as a public trust. It says it was established in 2018 and is registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Its registered office is in Dwarka, New Delhi, and it keeps an accelerator office in Noida. It also appears, as Innoscale Global Foundation Trust, on the Uttar Pradesh government's StartinUP list of recognised incubators, with a Gorakhpur address and an agriculture focus.

How the incubation programme works

The main offer is a 12-month cohort programme. Founders apply online, and shortlisted teams present to a panel of domain experts, investors and government representatives. Innoscale says it selects 8-12 founders per cohort per hub.

The year follows a set order. Months 1-2 are a problem validation sprint, in which founders spend 30+ days talking to the people they build for, such as farmers, patients or students. Months 3-8 are the build and mentor phase, with workspace, weekly mentor sessions and introductions to government scheme managers and pilot partners. Months 9-11 are for a pilot or field deployment. Month 12 is a Demo Day for investors, corporates and government programme managers.

Participants are described as getting desk space, a non-dilutive seed grant for prototyping and pilot costs, help with company incorporation and intellectual property filing, and introductions to 40+ seed funds, family offices and corporate venture arms. The seed grant is a self-reported benefit; ask the team for current terms before you plan around it.

Sector hubs

Innoscale organises its work into sector hubs. The Agri Tech hub is placed in Gorakhpur, the Med Tech hub in Dwarka, and the other hubs cover Edu Tech, Defence Tech, Sports Tech and Sustainability. Its pages list the hub cities differently in different places, so confirm which hub takes your sector and where it sits before you apply. The Med Tech hub works with Azure Innovation Labs at Aakash Healthcare in Dwarka; Innoscale signed an agreement with Aakash Healthcare in February 2026 and took part in the launch of Azure Innovation Labs in April 2026.

Who can apply

The application form asks for the founder and team, the primary sector, the current stage, whether the startup is incorporated, and a pitch deck in PDF or PPTX format. Stage options run from idea stage through prototype and pre-revenue to revenue stage, and a company that is not yet incorporated can still apply. Applying is free, and Innoscale says it takes no equity at the application stage. It does not state what the programme itself costs, or whether equity is taken once a startup joins.

ISG University

Innoscale also runs ISG University, the Innoscale School of Growth. Its flagship is a 12-week acceleration programme, listed as open for Cohort 8 applications, with weekly revenue check-ins, a requirement of 50 customer conversations by week 6, a legal and intellectual property segment, and a Demo Day in week 12. Short bootcamps for startup teams and new-age skills courses are listed as launching later.

Who runs it

The site names three trustees, Shishir Miglani, Amit Mishra and Monika Miglani. Amit Mishra is also the trustee named against Innoscale on the Uttar Pradesh register. The team page also lists incubation managers and a board of advisors, along with an expert network of mentors who teach sessions in the programmes.

Other work

Innoscale also offers investment advisory, including help for companies that want to direct their CSR spending to incubators, and a research programme with academic partners. Both are partnership offers rather than founder intakes. Its events page records past appearances, such as Startup Pitch Day 2026 at Sharda University and the UPITS 2025 StartinUP pavilion, and says no upcoming events are scheduled.

What to check before you apply

The site's headline numbers do not agree with each other. Its pages give different totals for startups incubated, capital facilitated, states reached, jobs created and mentors, and the Uttar Pradesh register lists a different startup count again. We have left these figures out. Treat the programme details above as Innoscale's own description, and ask the team for recent cohort names and outcomes.
