We encourage budding entrepreneurs to apply to us for investment, incubation and mentoring support through our dedicated initiatives - depending on your sector and stage. Please note that we provide incubation and investment support only to "technology" start-ups (technology shouldn't be confused as Information Technology only).
Applying for these initiatives directly improves your chance of getting faster support from us.
If you are a pre-revenue (< ~10l revenue p.a.) start-up in the Information and Communication Technology space, iAccelerator may be the best fit for you.
If you are an early stage company in the clean energy space, Renewable Energy Search can help you with seed-funding support.
If you are working towards solving the healthcare crisis in India, Piramal Prize may be best suited to meet your incubation and seed-funding needs.
If you are just looking for mentoring support, MentorEdge may be the answer to all your queries.
We also keep exploring ideas and investment opportunities beyond the above programs and will be happy to evaluate your business plan. Our ticket size for investment in start-ups is typically 5-50 lacs - please keep that in mind before you apply. You can send your business plan to bizplan-ciie@iimahd.ernet.in
