Where Builders are Born.
We are the launchpad for the next generation of disruptors. A founder-first ecosystem at K.R. Mangalam University designed to turn raw ideas into scalable ventures.
Our Vision
To become India's premier launchpad for student entrepreneurs—fostering a culture of innovation where bold ideas transform into breakthrough companies that create jobs, solve real problems, and drive economic growth.
Our Mission
To provide world-class incubation support through mentorship, funding, infrastructure, and industry connections—empowering student founders at K.R. Mangalam University to build ventures that make a lasting difference.
Our Philosophy
More Than Just a Co-working Space
We don't just provide tables and chairs. We provide the ecosystem, mentorship, and capital you need to fail fast and scale faster.
Founder First
We bet on the jockey, not just the horse. We prioritize your vision, your mental models, and your growth as a leader.
Execution Driven
Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. Our programs are designed to help you ship MVPs, get users, and iterate.
Equity-Free Support
We offer grants, office space, and mentorship without taking a chunk of your company early on. We win when you win.
Message from the Director
Dear Student Founders and the K.R. Mangalam University Community,
Welcome to the K.R. Mangalam Entrepreneurship & Incubation Centre (KEIC).
KEIC exists for one simple reason: to help you build. Whether your idea lives in a notebook, keeps you awake at night, or is already taking shape as a startup, this is where it belongs.
Startups are not built by waiting for perfect ideas; they are built by starting, learning fast, and staying resilient.
At KEIC, we don’t expect clarity on Day One. What we do expect is curiosity, ownership, and the courage to try. Our role is to create a safe yet ambitious environment where you can:
- Build early, even if it’s messy
- Step outside campus and talk to real users
- Launch, learn, iterate, and repeat
- Convert ideas into products, products into revenue, and revenue into scalable businesses
KEIC is not about buzzwords or endless presentations. It is about real startups, real learning, and real outcomes while you are still a student.
Through KEIC, you will gain access to experienced mentors, founders, investors, seed support, tools, and networks that accelerate your journey.
You will be encouraged to experiment, allowed to fail safely, and supported to bounce back stronger.
Think of KEIC as your startup playground and support system that values effort, respects ownership, and rewards action.
If you are ready to build, break, learn, and build again, KEIC is here for you.
Let’s build something meaningful together.
Rahul Bachhuwan
Dy. Director, KEIC
