Where do groundbreaking startups begin?

Often, in classrooms driven by curiosity and ambition.

We recently engaged with the future innovators of Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Pune, through a focused academic session on

Incubation and Acceleration Opportunities for Students, Faculties and Early Stage Entrepreneurs.

Facilitated by Mr. Shadab Husain, Incubation Manager at AIC - Pinnacle Entrepreneurship Forum, the session provided a strategic overview of:

India’s evolving startup landscape

Structured incubation and mentoring pathways

Access to grants, seed capital, and investor connections

How incubation center's like AIC-Pinnacle actively support students and early-stage startups through curated Entrepreneurship Development Programs designed to transform ideas into viable ventures

Opportunities for students and faculty to engage with real-world innovation

Organized in collaboration with Dr. Bhavna Ambudkar, Head – EPIC Cell at SIT, the initiative sparked high engagement and set the stage for long-term collaboration, including startup bootcamps, validation programs, and mentorship initiatives aligned with SIT's academic ecosystem.

At AIC-Pinnacle, we believe India’s entrepreneurial future begins with informed, inspired students, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.
