Our Ecosystem

Our ecosystem can be defined as an enabling environment that startups need, and it comprises key stakeholders such as corporates, government, investors and institutional partners. iCreate conducts international accelerator programmes which are aimed at getting world class innovation to address some of the big challenges faced by India. This could be through collaboration with leading institutions abroad, and exploring synergies between their startups and Indian industry. A good example of this is iCreate’s partnership with Israel’s Start-Up Nation Central (SNC), which resulted in the India Israel Innovation Accelerator (i3A). Going forward, international collaboration could also be with the intent of jointly exploring global markets. 

How iCreate works

Our Approach to Supporting You

We follow what we call a ‘High-touch, Entrepreneur-first’ approach. This approach represents our philosophy as well as our differentiator.

Governance

We recognize that vision, governance and execution, all play an important role in an institution’s success. Which is why we have put in place a robust, multi-tiered structure consisting of:

  • An Advisory Board – comprising eminent members of industry, academia and other fields – to provide the big picture and inspiration
  • A Statutory Board comprising senior technocrats, that ensures we have the right strategic direction and oversight
  • And a Team comprising of experts in various fields, who are committed to executional excellence

iCreate-Best-Incubator-in-India-Mentoring
iCreate-Entrepreneur-First-Approach-CEO-Sir-Team

Entrepreneur First Approach

We follow what we call a ‘High-touch, Entrepreneur-first’ approach. ‘High-touch’ means we have dedicated startup lifecycle coaches who work with our startups, throughout the incubation process. ‘Entrepreneur-first’ means that we bet on an individual’s/team’s potential, rather than a specific idea. 

We understand that the best-laid plans do not always work out, so we support pivoting till a sustainable model is evolved. To enable the two components of our approach to come together seamlessly, we have designed a Startup Life Cycle Management process for efficient project selection and support. We provide a culture that stimulates independent thinking and does not stigmatise failure.
