IMI Incubation Foundation

Welcome to the transformative realm of the IMI Incubation Foundation, an avant-garde initiative that catalyzes entrepreneurial brilliance within the corridors of International Management Institute Bhubaneswar. Born out of the imperative to nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship among students deeply engaged in E-Cell endeavours and fledgling ventures, the foundation emerged as a beacon of mentorship and support.

Established informally in 2016 and formally registered as a section 8 company in 2018-19 under the banner of the IMI Incubation Foundation, our journey is steeped in the ethos of empowering visionary minds to embark on the exhilarating journey of entrepreneurship. With a formidable cadre of industry stalwarts and esteemed faculty members lending their expertise, we have crafted a nurturing ecosystem where innovation thrives and dreams take flight.

Situated as the singular entity of its kind in Odisha, our focus on business management sets us apart as a premier destination for aspiring entrepreneurs seeking guidance and mentorship. Our dedicated space serves as a crucible for idea refinement, strategy formulation, and skill enhancement, propelling startups with innovative and proven concepts towards scalable success.

Beyond borders, our virtual mentoring initiatives extend support to startups across geographies, amplifying our impact and outreach. Throughout the year, we orchestrate a symphony of activities ranging from idea hunts to investor connect, from entrepreneurship development programs to skill enhancement workshops, culminating in a vibrant tapestry of entrepreneurial fervor.

Aligned with the vision of state and central governments and in collaboration with allied agencies and incubation centers, the IMI Incubation Foundation stands resolute in its mission to sculpt the next generation of changemakers, driving innovation and prosperity in equal measure. Welcome to an arena where every idea is nurtured, every dream is realized, and every journey is celebrated. Welcome to the IMI Incubation Foundation!!!
