About Startup Incubation
Incubation programs provide startups with workspace, prototyping labs, mentorship, business support, and investor access to accelerate from idea to product‑market fit. Many Indian incubators are linked to national schemes and offer structured cohorts or rolling admissions with milestone‑based support. [1][13]
Funding linkages include Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (grants up to ₹20 lakh for PoC and up to ₹50 lakh as debt/convertible for market entry), NIDHI‑SSP seed support via DST, and Atal Incubation/Established Incubation Centre grants to build capacity. [13][14][9]
Shortlisted startups are matched to sector‑relevant incubators and mentors; selection emphasizes team, innovation, market need, feasibility, and impact potential. [1][13]
