Sobhasaria Incubation Center

Choose the right route

• Student or alumni founder with an MVP: the Innovation Launchpad, a 12-week cohort.
• Idea, prototype or growing startup: the wider incubation programme, which runs on rolling applications.
• Not connected to the college: the programmes page welcomes external entrepreneurs, but the incubation page limits eligibility to local entrepreneurs and researchers. Ask the centre before you apply.

How to apply

• Use the online form on the apply page. You can choose a preferred programme in the form.
• Fill in the personal details, the startup details and the business model: the problem, your solution, the market opportunity, your progress so far and what you hope to get from the incubation.
• Send questions or changes after submission to contact@hub.secs.ac.in.

Build the project plan

• The programmes page says a project plan in its set format is mandatory for applicants.
• Its sections are: value proposition, team profile, products and services, development milestones, implementation approach, market and competition analysis, go-to-market plan, funding requirements, capital structure, and risk analysis with financial projections.
• Start with the innovation and the customer problem it solves. Reviewers want to see that first.

What reviewers look for

• The apply page lists innovation, market potential, team composition, alignment with the centre's focus areas and the feasibility of the idea.
• Show what the centre's mentorship and facilities would add to your plan.

Timing

• Applications are rolling. Cohort start dates are announced quarterly.
• Reviews are usually completed within a few weeks, so apply early if you need a start date.

The Sobhasaria Incubation Center is a campus-based incubation centre run by the Sobhasaria Group of Institutions. It was formally inaugurated on 27 September 2025 and is designed as a platform where ideas can become commercially viable ventures.

How the programmes work

The centre runs two entry routes. The Innovation Launchpad is a cohort-based incubation for early-stage founders. It lasts 12 weeks and is open to student and alumni founders who already have a minimum viable product.

The wider incubation programme takes entrepreneurs at three points: an idea that needs validation, a prototype under development, and a validated product that needs to scale. Its programmes page gives the typical length as 12–24 months, extendable on approval. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and cohort start dates are announced quarterly.

An accepted startup signs an agreement with the centre. The programmes page summarises its terms: incubatees keep to professional conduct and report quarterly, and where the centre's resources are significantly used, intellectual property is held jointly or carries a royalty. Fees are described as nominal, with extra charges for specialised labs.

Who can apply

The centre welcomes current and alumni students, current and adjunct faculty and staff, local entrepreneurs and researchers with scalable ideas, and technology or IP developed within Sobhasaria or in collaboration. The programmes page also says external entrepreneurs with innovative ideas can apply, so anyone who is not connected to the college should check with the centre before applying.

Facilities

The co-working space is flexible and offers high-speed internet, meeting rooms and 24/7 access. The prototyping lab has 3D printers, electronics workstations and testing equipment for building and refining product prototypes. Conference spaces host pitches, workshops, networking events and demo days.

How selection works

Selection follows a set sequence. Applicants submit the online form, the incubation committee screens applications, and shortlisted applicants present their ideas to the selection committee. Successful applicants then sign the incubation agreement and begin the programme. The apply page says applications are reviewed within a few weeks of submission.

Scale and track record

The centre has not published a verified count of the startups it has supported. It is a new centre, established in 2025, so its track record is still forming. Its startup page shows figures, but they are undated and do not match its other pages, so none are repeated here.

Support on offer

The centre offers access to experienced mentors from various industries, to investors, grants and funding opportunities, and to industry leaders, potential partners and fellow entrepreneurs. Its mission statement lists the same aims: mentorship from industry experts, access to funding opportunities, and networking with investors and industry.

Who runs it

The centre sits within the Sobhasaria Group of Institutions. The group's Principal is listed on the about page as providing technical guidance and infrastructure support to startups. The inauguration included a memorandum of understanding between the centre and Codexa for startup collaboration.

Events and reporting

The events page lists demo-day and networking sessions, including a pitch night for cohort startups and a networking roundtable with mentors. The centre says it tracks and publishes an annual impact report, although the download link on its site did not lead to a document when we checked. The events listed are dated December 2025, so ask for the current calendar before you plan around them.

Location

The postal address on the contact page is NH-11, Sikar Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302012. Other pages describe the centre as being in Sikar, Rajasthan, at the group's campus there, so confirm the location before you visit. Visits are welcome: the contact page says tours can be booked by email or phone and are typically available Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
