Ideation, Growth, Nurture, Incubation and Scaling

Training Date: On Rolling Basis
Venue: India
Training Provider: IGNIS Program

The IGNIS Program, launched by IIMV FIELD and EPIC, is designed to nurture student entrepreneurs and early-stage technology startups in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It provides tools, knowledge, and resources to help transform innovative ideas into scalable businesses. Unlike cohort-based programs, IGNIS allows startups to apply anytime. Participants can join at one of three stages—Ideation, Growth and Networking, or Incubation and Scaling—based on their startup’s progress. The program prioritizes technology-driven startups and gives preference to those from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It guides participants through crucial phases such as idea validation, market engagement, and scaling. The program ultimately helps founders refine strategies, build networks, and prepare for investor engagement.
