AIC Mahindra Incubation Program — Eligibility Criteria

The program targets early-stage founders and innovators, typically those at the idea, minimum viable product (MVP), or early revenue stage. Eligible founders must demonstrate:

• Clarity: A thorough understanding of the problem, including market need, target audience, and potential impact.
• Commitment: The discipline to persist through uncertainty and maintain momentum despite challenges.
• Openness: Willingness to absorb feedback, reflect, test assumptions, and improve their approach.
• Intent: A sincere drive to build something meaningful, motivated by impact and innovation rather than superficial participation.

The program imposes no restrictions on industry, state, or entity type. DPIIT and MSME registration are not required. No additional founder requirements beyond the behavioural traits are specified.

AIC Mahindra Incubation Program is open to startups at the idea, product and revenue stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.
