The N. S. Raghavan Global Internet Ventures (NSR-GIV) Centre at IIMB has a state-of-the-art incubator to help entrepreneurs launch their business plans into commercially viable products and services. The incubator can house about ten teams of 4-6 members each.
The incubation process includes product development, product innovation, testing, simulation, pilot experimentation, training, presentation to a target audience and finally a tie-up for funding.
The residency period normally lasts for six months, extendable up to a year.
The process begins with the submission of a business plan by the entrepreneur team. The Screening Committee evaluates if the project deserves to be incubated at NSRCEL.
