Krishna Educational Foundation

Choose the stage that fits you

• Technology idea or project, not yet incorporated: pre-incubation is the stage built for you.
• Business plan complete and ready to incorporate: incubation is the stage after pre-incubation.

Ask before you apply

The foundation does not publish an application form, deadline or intake window. The only route its site gives is the incubation in-charge inbox on the contact page, so start there.

• Ask whether founders from outside the Krishna Educational Foundation and KPGU community can join. The site does not say either way.
• Ask what it expects in return. Its vision statement mentions equity partnerships with incubatees, but no programme page gives terms.
• Ask which of its two Vadodara addresses houses the incubation centre.

Fit to look for

The foundation says it wants to produce startups in healthcare and biotechnology. If your venture is in another field, ask whether it takes you.

Government schemes on its site

Its Seed Support and Government Support pages list state and central schemes. They do not say the foundation pays this support itself, so check the scheme's own rules and ask the incubation team what help it gives with applications.

Krishna Educational Foundation is a Section 8 company in Vadodara, Gujarat, incorporated on 22 September 2016. It runs an incubation centre for startups, with a pre-incubation stage for ideas that are not yet incorporated and an incubation stage for founders who have a business plan and are ready to set up a company.

What it supports

The foundation's stated aim is to produce more useful and unique startups in healthcare and biotechnology, in what it calls a fast-developing healthcare innovation city. That is the only sector focus its pages state. Its vision statement also says it wants to encourage risk-taking and equity partnerships with incubatees. No programme page gives the terms for any such arrangement, so a founder should ask before assuming either way.

How the programmes work

Pre-incubation is for founders with a technology-focused business idea or project that has started working but has not been incorporated. Support is training, mentoring and consultancy to test whether the idea is viable, commercialisable and scalable.

Incubation follows. Entrepreneurs who complete the business plan and are ready for incorporation move on to it at the end of the pre-incubation period.

The foundation's pages do not publish an application form, a deadline or an intake window for either stage, and they do not say whether the programmes are free or what the foundation expects in return.

Seed support listed on the site

The foundation has a Seed Support page. It lists support available under the Gujarat Industrial Policy 2020, including seed support, support for startups with a significant impact on society and a sustenance allowance. It also has a Government Support page. Neither page says the foundation pays this money itself, who qualifies through it or how to apply, so treat them as government schemes that an incubator can help startups reach, not as the foundation's own fund.

Facilities

The foundation's facilities pages describe a co-working space for startups with wifi-enabled systems, and a total area for incubation work in the incubation centre. They also say the common shared space can seat discussions for a set number of startups at a time, and list one board room, two conference rooms and two auditoriums. These figures are the foundation's own, and the pages were last updated in 2022.

Who runs it and the university link

The foundation's pages are closely tied to Drs. Kiran & Pallavi Patel Global University (KPGU) in Vadodara. The foundation appears with the university's Krishna Centre of Startups & Entrepreneurship, and the two have held events together. Third-party listings describe the foundation as promoted by KPGU, but the foundation's own pages do not use that word. Its pages never say whether founders from outside the foundation and university community can join. Ask the incubation team before applying.

MeitY Startup Hub GENESIS

On 16 February 2026 the foundation organised the MeitY Startup Hub GENESIS Entrepreneur-in-Residence Cohort-2 grant recognition ceremony at KPGU in Vadodara, with students, faculty and six selected startup teams in attendance. The foundation's own pages do not mention Cohort 3, which is a separate national call run through other implementing agencies, so we do not list that call as one of its programmes.

Location and contact

The foundation's contact page lists two addresses: a corporate office at 103, Gajanan Complex, opposite Tube Company, Old Padra Road, Vadodara, and an address on the Vadodara-Mumbai NH 8 at Varnama, Vadodara 391243, in the university campus area. The site does not say which of the two houses the incubation centre. Enquiries go to the incubation in-charge at incubation.incharge@krishnaedufoundation.com.
