NIDHI Technology Business Incubator (TBI) and i-TBI
Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
DST funds the incubator, not the startup. Startups get subsidised incubation space, labs, mentoring and access to NIDHI PRAYAS, EIR and SSS instruments through the host TBI. i-TBI supports new incubators in tier 2/3 cities and aspirational districts.
