About Nutan Incubation Center

Nutan Incubation Centre(NIC) supported by NMVPM (Nutan Maharashtra Vidya Prasarak Mandal), envisages to build and nurture the community in the state of Maharashtra including its Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities with respect to the startup and innovation ecosystem. The objective of the NIC is to reach the innovators at the bottom of the pyramid and give them equitable opportunities, especially by reducing the lab-to-land distance and creating a space for the pre-incubation of ideas & solutions.

Our Objective

The objective of the Nutan Incubation Centre is to provide comprehensive support and resources to students and the community, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and enabling the creation of innovative, high-growth startups that have the potential to become the next unicorns.

Through our programs, mentorship, and access to resources, we aim to equip students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and networks to develop disruptive ideas, build successful startups.
