AICTIIC — Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship — is a Techno India University initiative, supported by Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, Government of India.
A four-decade legacy of education leadership in Eastern India — the institution behind AICTIIC.
Techno India Group is one of Eastern India's largest and most respected educational conglomerates, with over four decades of commitment to quality technical education, research and institutional development across West Bengal and Northeast India.
With its flagship Techno India University at the helm, the group spans engineering, management, design, law, and applied sciences — and has now extended its vision to startup incubation through AICTIIC, West Bengal's first Atal Incubation Centre.
AICTIIC is formally supported by Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog — a Government of India flagship programme that establishes world-class incubation centres across India to nurture innovative startups into scalable, sustainable enterprises.
Directly supported by Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, Government of India — with grant-in-aid of up to ₹10 Crores over five years to build world-class incubation infrastructure.
AICTIIC exclusively incubates startups in Social Innovation & Social Business, Emerging Technology (AI, CS-IT, Cybersecurity, EdTech), and Media, Entertainment & Design.
AICTIIC will be West Bengal's first government-recognised Atal Incubation Centre — positioning Kolkata and Eastern India as a serious destination for AI, social enterprise and the creative economy.
Structured incubation from idea to MVP to market — workspace, AI/Product Lab, Media & Design Studio, expert mentorship, business clinics, investor connects and milestone-driven discipline.
As an AIM-recognised AIC, AICTIIC operates in full compliance with Atal Innovation Mission guidelines — with transparent selection, published policies, governance and regular public reporting.
AICTIIC's mentor network is built to help founders solve real bottlenecks — product, market, finance, IP, legal, fundraising and scale.
We are onboarding 50+ mentors across all three verticals before Cohort 1.
AICTIIC is housed at Offbeat CCU — a thoughtfully designed creative and professional workspace in the heart of Kolkata. Chosen for its energy, accessibility and connection to Kolkata's growing startup and creative communities, Offbeat CCU provides the infrastructure and environment to host founders, mentors, demo days and community events.
