About Runway Incubation

Runway's incubation is an 8–10 week blended programme. It helps a business idea become market-ready and investor-ready. Each startup is paired with a dedicated mentor, and the programme ends with a demo day in front of curated investors, advisors and industry leaders. Runway also runs follow-on support after the programme.

The homepage lists a pre-incubation cohort and a programme called Takeoff, but their registration windows have closed. The site says applications for the next cohort are open.

What you get

  • A dedicated mentor
  • Access to UPES labs, workspaces and infrastructure
  • A demo day with curated investors, advisors and industry leaders
  • Curated events, workshops and industry meetups
  • Ongoing support after the programme

Who can apply

  • Startups from any field, anywhere in India
  • Founders from idea to early-revenue stage

How selection works: Applications are open and Runway says it replies within 15 days. Runway's pages do not say whether the incubation takes equity or charges a fee.
