OUR
PROGRAMS

We are a multi-stage business incubator and accelerator, with a premium & spacious co-working space.

We run time bound programs, which includes high quality mentoring by a super-experienced in-house team and a panel of industry experts.

Our biggest differentiator is that our programs are customized for the stage the start-up is at and tailored to their specific requirements, i.e., some start-ups may need help with their product development; some may need help on refining their concept, while some may need advice on sharpening their go-to-market plans or their business case.

While all start-ups get the benefit of our mentoring framework, the program deliverables are custom designed based on an early-assessment of the venture’s need gaps.

The program offers to provide Startups funding opportunities along with selective inhouse funding upto Rs 2 Cr depending on the stage of the venture. The program is designed to take the ventures to the next stage of their journey and make them better prepared for follow-on capital.
