At the core of the programme is NSIC’s technology business incubator (NSIC-TBI), which provides fully equipped workspace, essential ICT infrastructure, and access to a range of business support services. Prospective entrepreneurs using the facility are required to pay a monthly licence fee, along with additional charges for business centre services, telephone and internet usage, and specialised professional support including legal, accounting and marketing assistance.
The scheme offers a comprehensive pathway for idea-stage and emerging businesses. Participants gain access to standard computer hardware and software resources, internet connectivity, and dedicated business facilities, alongside preliminary counselling sessions and expert guidance to help refine business plans. As ventures mature, the incubator extends advanced support such as connections to seed funding, venture capital networks, market survey assistance, legal documentation, and facilitation for technology transfer or joint venture partnerships.
Eligibility for the scheme is broad, encompassing aspiring entrepreneurs, founders of early-stage enterprises, university research groups partly funded by industry collaborators, and students or potential employees seeking practical industry exposure. Experienced professionals from various sectors who wish to begin independent product development may also apply. Additionally, investors, industrial enterprises, universities and private training institutions interested in collaborating with research groups or start-ups are welcomed as part of the ecosystem.
Applications for the programme can be submitted directly to the Project Manager at NSIC TBI-Okhla, located within the NTSC premises at Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi. The organisation provides support via telephone and email for those seeking further information about the application process.
As India’s digital economy rapidly expands, NSIC’s incubation scheme is positioned to play a significant role in nurturing innovation and equipping technology-driven entrepreneurs with the tools, training and networks required to build resilient micro and small enterprises. By combining infrastructure support with targeted mentorship and industry linkages, the initiative continues to strengthen the country’s startup foundation and push forward a more inclusive entrepreneurial landscape.
