ON-CAMPUS START-UP INCUBATOR

student

Not everyone wants to take up a job at the end of the program. Some want to build their start-up! Our On-Campus Business Start-Up Incubator provides students with access to resources to develop their start-up ideas. Students may opt to work on their Start-Up idea instead of taking up the 5 month Internship. ITM has a vast array of talent in Tech, Design, Finance and supply chain fields among others, and Incubatees will have access to their time and knowledge.

Events such as hackathons, industry masterclasses, business conferences, start-up bootcamps and yatras ensure that ideas grow beyond a business plan and feasibility study, into an actual start-up.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Idea

Interested students develop an idea for a product or service and document it.

Pitch

Ideas are developed into a business plan and presented to an internal committee. If the idea has merit and is selected, it moves to the next stage.

Prototype Support

Students get support from faculty and industry mentors to build a prototype.

Incubation

At this stage, the idea matures into a business and takes anywhere between 3 to 6 months to develop its metrics and profitability.

Funding

ITM Business School has set up a seed fund of INR 10,000,000 to fund qualifying startups within the incubator. Angel investment and VC networking opportunities are provided, too.
