Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science (SRCAS) is an autonomous arts and science college in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, affiliated to Bharathiar University. Its Innovation Centre runs a pre-incubation unit for people who want to turn an idea into a product or a company.

What the pre-incubation unit offers

The Innovation Centre says it promotes technology-based entrepreneurship. Its stated services include mandatory mentorship, space to develop an idea, and guidance on intellectual property. Seed funding appears among its objectives. The college's innovation policy says start-ups will be guided towards seed-fund providers and angel or venture funds, and that the college may set up its own seed fund once its incubation work matures.

Who can apply

The unit is open to students (undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD), staff and faculty of the college. The innovation policy also says start-up applicants from outside the college may be considered, and that the facility could be extended to alumni and outsiders if the institutional committee decides so. Founders from outside the college should not assume they qualify.

Cost and equity

The policy says the college offers mentoring and other services in return for fees, equity or on a zero-payment basis. Which of these applies to a given applicant is not stated on the pages we read.

How to apply

The Innovation Centre page lists a pre-incubation application form. The college office can be reached at office@srcas.ac.in.
