NSRCEL, the startup hub at IIM Bangalore, has selected seven early-stage healthcare startups for its final stage of the Incubation Program for Healthcare Startups, which are currently undergoing a nine-month incubation programme.

The programme is designed to support MVP to commercialisation stage ventures that have the potential to increase access and affordability of healthcare in India.

The structured incubation programme provides support to Healthcare innovators and entrepreneurs through their ‘lab to market’ journey. With the NSRCEL healthcare incubation programme, both clinicians and hospitals can engage with startups and mentor and monitor the progress of those startups which can contribute to their strategic objectives.
