Welcome aspiring entrepreneur! We are glad that you wish to be a part of the Fall 2021 cohort of Atal Incubation Center Catalyst. Before you move ahead, please read a bit about AIC Catalyst, the kind of startups we support and our approach towards incubation. A brief outline is mentioned below, while more details on our program strategy, structure and pedagogy can be found on our website, catalystaic.org

Catalyst AIC is an incubation and innovation center set up by KREA University (IFMR Society) in Jaipur, under a grant from NITI Aayog’s Atal Innovation Mission. The center supports and helps scale innovative startups in the inclusive tech domain, which build products focused around unserved and underserved communities in India’s last mile. The first year of the program will focus on artisanal communities, with an initial target consumer base in Rajasthan, and later expanding across India.

The Catalyst AIC incubator is unique in its value proposition as it provides startups with real-world test environments, data-driven insights on their target consumer groups, and necessary infrastructure to rapidly test, iterate and deploy their solutions. The core idea is to help scale high-impact, last-mile inclusive tech products, in close coordination with our implementation partners and LEAD’s deep on-ground research expertise.
