What is TIDES TBI Incubation?
TIDES TBI Incubation is the flagship incubation program of TIDES (Technology Innovation and Development of Entrepreneurship Society), the DST/NSTEDB-recognised business incubator hosted at IIT Roorkee. The programme is described on its own page as "the flagship program of NSTEDB, DST to promote technology based startup ideas," and it is aimed at technology and engineering ventures rather than a specific sector niche.
Selected founders receive a bundle of in-kind and advisory support rather than a stated cash grant: the official page lists Infrastructural Support, Funding Support, Legal Support, Accounting Support, IPR Support, Technical Lab Support, Mentoring, Networking, and a Startup Tool Kit. "Funding Support" is named as a category but the page does not print an amount, equity percentage, tenure, or ticket size for it, so none of those figures can be stated here.
The programme is delivered as an ongoing, always-open incubation intake rather than a dated cohort or call: the page's Deadline field reads "No deadline; Open round the year," with applications submitted through TIDES's own portal and queries routed to tides@iitr.ac.in or +91-1332-285736 (Hafiz Ibrahim Building, IIT Roorkee, Uttarakhand).
