The major offerings of the incubation program include networking with relevant stakeholders, mentoring from IBA faculty along with infrastructure support. Infrastructure support includes office space, uninterrupted power supply, wi-fi, parking space, a pantry and more. The incubatees can avail discounts on other programs offered at the IBA CED.Further more, the incubatees can engage IBA students as interns or part time employees.

Accelerator Program
The accelerator program is a 4 month boot camp with 50 hours of training by industry experts and IBA Faculty that aims to accelerate the growth of the selected startups into sustainable business ventures through a variety of incentives.
