Engineering the Future of Entrepreneurship at SIES
SIES Incubation Centre bridges academia and commercial venture building. We transform ambitious student engineers, researchers, and innovators into venture-grade founders.
SIES does not invest institutional funds directly. We connect founders to Government schemes (SISFS, NIDHI-PRAYAS, BIRAC) and our curated network of Angel Investors and SIES Alumni.

From Academic Research to Scalable Commercial Ventures
Established under the aegis of the South Indian Education Society (SIES)—one of India's most venerable non-profit educational trusts founded in 1932—the SIES Incubation Centre is headquartered at the SIES Graduate School of Technology (SIES GST) campus in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, in strategic collaboration with the SIES School of Business Studies (SIES SBS).
For decades, collegiate innovation was confined to academic capstone projects that gathered dust after graduation. SIES Incubation Centre was founded to disrupt this paradigm. By creating Founder OS, we provide students and alumni with a comprehensive digital and physical launching pad: from early-stage Startup Idea Validation and frugal MVP makerspace access to government grant facilitation under DPIIT's Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) and DST NIDHI-PRAYAS.
