Note on Incubators as mode of financing Incubators are organizations set up with the specific goal of assisting entrepreneurs with building and launching their startups. Not only do incubators offer a high number of value-added services (office space, utilities, admin & legal assistance, etc.), they often also make grants/debt/equity investments. Atal Incubation Centres (AICs) is an initiative of the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog, to foster innovation and entrepreneurial spirit while creating a supportive ecosystem for start-ups and entrepreneurs in India. Each AIC is supported with a grant of up to ₹10 crores over a period of 5 years. Since 2016, AIM has established 68 Atal Incubation Centres across 18 states and 3 UTs which have supported more than 2700 startups.
