Contribution is required in core electronics hardware / Pattern Recognition / Biometric related stuff…. so anybody with relevant education/experience can apply. The requirement is immediate…

@ Abhishek
Thats true, there is a grooming program, but there is option to undergo grooming and incubation simultaneously, in case you have right idea and bplan to work on. Till now, people joined NirmaLabs without any ideas, and then struck on something during the grooming phase.
As far as faculty/mentors @ NirmaLabs are concerned, just to correct you, nobody is from parent management institute. They come from industry, IIMA, current techno-entrepreneurs, etc….. Ofcourse, some opportunity cost is involved, but I guess, then there are no free lunches in this world 🙂 I am OK with it…
@ Sanjay.
One company – RapidRadio Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad (http://www.rapidradio.co.in, RFID space) has rolled out of NirmaLabs few weeks ago, they are currently trying to start their operations. There are 3 more projects under incubation at NirmaLabs, out of which one more company in Biotech space (Pharmacogenomics) will roll out soon.
These projects get initial funding/seed funding from NirmaLabs (uptp Rs.20 lacs), which is sufficient for incubation, for bringing idea to proof of concept level. The companies rolled out are trying to get venture funding for expanding their operations. NirmaLabs helps in getting VC / Angel Investors for the projects.
Well, around 15-20% of pre venture funding equity goes to NirmaLabs and Mentor, but its fine, because seed funding from NirmaLabs is on zero liability. I am not aware of any such incubators in NCR region except incubator at IIT-Delhi.
pardon me for the out of context smiley; it was to end a sentence which i removed before posting.
They require you to undergo 6 month long training/grooming before you can start work on your venture and/or apply for funding 🙂 The faculty is very unimpressive and is apparently drawn mostly from the parent management institute.
Time cost of 6 months clearly exceeds 2million. This makes it very unattractive for most entrepreneurs.
I looked at the Nirma Labs website. The model looks good to me though the equity percentages that are given to mentor is high if it is a single mentor? Have any incubated startups got angel funded/ venture financed ? Are there any such incubators in Delhi NCR ?
