SNDT University to Launch Pre-Incubation Centre for Student Start-ups
Imagine you have a super cool idea for a new invention or business!
SNDT Women's University is creating a special place, like a 'starter home' for ideas, called a pre-incubation centre.
This place will help students turn their bright ideas into real companies.
They will guide students on how to register their idea, get a patent, and make a plan to convince people to invest money.
This is different from their existing center, which helps companies that are already running.
The university is also creating rules called a start-up policy to make it easier for students and teachers to start businesses.
They are even training teachers to spot good ideas and help students get started.
To celebrate all this innovation, they are holding a big event called Innovation Mahakumbha where great ideas will be shown off.
SNDT Women's University is establishing a pre-incubation centre to support student start-up ideas.
A dedicated start-up policy is being developed to encourage entrepreneurship on campus.
The pre-incubation centre will identify potential ideas and connect students with industry players.
The university will host Innovation Mahakumbha 2025 on November 9 to bring together universities, industries, and innovators.
110 innovative ideas have been shortlisted from 1,500 pitches to be presented at the event.

Quotes
Prof. Ujwala Chakradeo
Vice-Chancellor of SNDT University
“Several innovative ideas do come up with students working on curricular and extra-curricular projects. Some of these concepts are start-up potential, but cannot always head toward that direction in absence of support required for aspects such as registration, patenting, creating a business plan among others which are vital to form a start-up to later seek funding and grow at the incubation centre. The pre-incubation centre will provide support at the nascent stage of any concept.”

“All this can be implemented with help of a start-up policy which is now ready and pending for final approvals.”
