We aim to empower the next generation of leaders to find solutions to the problems of the future, to take charge of the rising fervour of creation and competence that will mark a better and brighter India.
TBI IISER has been renamed I-RISE (IISER-Raising Innovative & Sustainable Enterprises), which represents the incubator's mission. i-RISE has carefully tailored programmes for entrepreneurs based on their level and trajectory. Startups incubated at i-RISE benefit from unparalleled technological mentorship from the respected faculty of IISER Mohali, as well as business mentoring from a vast network of mentors. The overall growth of incubated startups benefit from this exceptional combination of deep domain experience and customer side intelligence. These programme features dramatically boost a startup's ability to develop product-market fit, market access, and other dynamic business dimensions, resulting in a substantial increase in the startup's viability and market readiness.
I-RISE also allows incubated companies to apply for grants and highlight opportunities from different partner government programmes as part of the initiative. It also allows incubated startups to present themselves to investor venture capital funds to collect funds for batch startups.
i-RISE is a total solution network for science and technology-based companies, offering an outstanding combination of product and business side support, product and service commercialization, and access to numerous government and non-government opportunities.
