SIIC, IIT Kanpur came into existence when in 2000 SIDBI approached IIT Kanpur to form an Incubation center. The idea was to deepen the entrepreneurship and incubation culture of the institute.
SIIC, IIT Kanpur aims to develop cutting-edge technologies grounded in science and engineering Innovations to solve pressing problems of the country, focusing on the underprivileged strata. It provides the right space and opportunities for converting your startup ideas into products and business.
The journey of SIIC, at IIT Kanpur, began when a team of creative visionaries came together to build an ecosystem with an objective to build with a purpose. From then to now, the very dynamic SIIC continues to evolve and grow just like another startup!.
SIIC existed when incubation was in its infancy, seed-funding did not exist, mentorship was neither easily available nor popular. A bunch of misfits with an out-of-the-box vision - we thought, why not overcome the obstacles that we are facing by helping others overcome them too? Seed-funding did not exist.
Our journey of growth has been a challenging one, with myriad lessons along the way. We are a group of thinkers and problem-solvers, continuously monitoring startups needs.
