Selection process
The selection process begins with an expression of interest, where you submit your startup idea and business plan, clearly demonstrating a proof of concept or prototype. After an initial screening based on novelty, market opportunity, team strength, and scalability, shortlisted applicants are invited to present their idea and plan to a selection committee at the IIMK Campus in Kochi. The committee evaluates the presentation on innovativeness, feasibility, founding team strengths, and market opportunity. If selected, you must complete company registration (if not already done) within three months of admission confirmation. Finally, you pay the half-yearly incubation fee and begin onboarding, which grants access to all programme resources for up to two years.
