The India-Nepal Startup Partnership Network (IN-SPAN) invites Nepali entrepreneurs with transformative ideas to join an innovative cross-border initiative connecting the vibrant startup ecosystems of Nepal and India.
Focus Areas: entrepreneurship, innovation, startup ecosystem development, cross-border collaboration, mentorship, training, and industry exposure.
IN-SPAN is an eight-week, fully funded training and innovation program hosted at IIT Madras in collaboration with IIT Madras Pravartak. IIT Madras Pravartak, a leading incubator that has nurtured several startups with many successfully commercializing their technologies, will deliver the program. Participants will gain hands-on learning experiences, expert mentorship, and internship opportunities designed to help take their ideas from concept to creation.
Building on the success of earlier India-Nepal startup initiatives organized by the Embassy of India in Kathmandu, IN-SPAN aims to deepen startup engagement and cooperation between the two nations. This initiative offers Nepali startups a unique opportunity to gain practical insights, professional guidance, and exposure at one of India’s top innovation hubs.
The selection process for IN-SPAN will be competitive, based on submitted applications and interviews, to identify a cohort of highly motivated and promising startups.
