The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is undertaking various measures to
encourage the startup ecosystem and the industry at large to foster innovation in manufacturing by
supporting and collaborating with startups and developing manufacturing incubators.

Rapid industrialization and manufacturing are critical engines of economic growth for nations. Advances in
manufacturing and creating strong manufacturing supply chains determine the extent to which a nation
can become an export-led economy and a favored trading partner globally. Developing a strong
manufacturing base is an essential activity for any nation as it promotes innovation and competitiveness,
boosts employment, livelihoods and standards of living, and strengthens self-reliance and economic
stability.

Landmark reforms and initiatives have enhanced India’s manufacturing capabilities in recent years and
India has witnessed significant diversification of its manufacturing portfolio. Through long-term initiatives to
boost manufacturing, India has emerged as a dynamic hub for manufacturing, led by innovation,
technology, and skilled labor.

A focus on manufacturing innovation is needed in addition to expanding production. The growth in

innovation in the recent past has led to unprecedented advances in manufacturing technology and
scientific breakthroughs. Startups and entrepreneurs in the nation have been playing a significant role in
shifting global value chains to India by creating and innovating domestically. This growth has been
accompanied by an overall boost in the quality of products being produced in the nation, improving global
standing and trade relations. Such manufacturing startups and innovative ventures have also created
lakhs of jobs for the nation. Through manufacturing and product startups, integration of cutting-edge
technologies into manufacturing processes can further strengthen establishment of India as a hub for
manufacturing innovative technology solutions.

During the first-ever 'Startup Mahakumbh’ festival organised by the startup ecosystem with DPIIT’s
support, dedicated pavilions were set up for incubators and startups in Business to Business (B2B)
Manufacturing which witnessed deliberations on the importance and institutionalization of manufacturing
incubators. DPIIT also recently organised ‘ONDC-Startup Mahotsav’ which saw participation from
emerging businesses and unicorns who were also encouraged to explore vertical and horizontal
integration with startups to promote domestic manufacturing. DPIIT is also promoting manufacturing
incubation through its autonomous institutes to leverage their world class facilities. Recently, National
Council for Cement Building Material (NCCBM) inaugurated the National Council for Cement and Building
Materials-Incubation Centre (NCB-IC) to support startups in cement and building materials industry.
Similarly, Indian Rubber Manufacturers Research Association (IRMRA) is also establishing incubation
centre in related product segments. DPIIT has also proactively reached out to over a hundred large
corporates, industry associations & veterans, and unicorns to emphasize the importance of setting up
manufacturing incubators and the benefits of active collaboration with manufacturing startups.

TEA NEWS 21
 Manufacturing startups require support from several ecosystem stakeholders to grow and scale.
Manufacturing focused incubators are one of the most important drivers of support for startups as they
provide essential pilot, scaling, and manufacturing facilities that can provide plug and play options to
product startups, reducing the burden of high capex investments. These incubators provide access to
shared facilities for startups to support innovative product development and early-stage manufacturing,
paving the way for growth and scaling up of the ecosystem. They also act as an interface between the
startups and the medium and large-scale companies providing access to pilot facilities for manufacturing,
test beds, prototyping facilities design centres and facilitation for technology management, market access
and risk capital.

Such incubators can be set up by a variety of entities such as corporates, academic institutes, and
research institutes. Specifically for corporates, incubating and fostering manufacturing startups provide a
variety of benefits and advantages in an increasingly competitive global market. Corporate incubators can
allow businesses to leverage the innovative potential of startups through technology transfer from
incubated startups and facilitate the co-creation of groundbreaking products. Corporates can gain
competitive advantage in markets and gain new customers faster, as working with incubated startups can
help corporates reduce research and development (R&D) costs and time. The R&D boost gained from
working with startups and innovators can allow corporates to enhance internal teams and promote
intrapreneurship, boosting overall competitiveness in the economy.

Corporates can institutionalize in-house incubators and incubation programs in several ways depending
on the resources available to them. The scale and scope of the incubation activities can be customized
keeping in mind the goals of the corporate. The first step would be to start with small-scale incubation
programs involving small cohorts and gradually work towards setting up a separate entity in the form of a
private or non-profit organization with specialized long-term programs. Corporates can determine the
extent of collaboration and support they can provide to startups depending upon the resources available to
them, scaling up as per needs and requirements. A strong process and framework which allows for
technology transfer and technology procurement will lead to a mutually beneficial collaboration between
startups and corporates.

Eligible entities can also explore availing benefits extended to incubators or incubator programs through
Government initiatives like the Startup India initiative, Atal Incubation Centres (AICs), National Initiative for
Developing and Harnessing Innovations (NIDHI), Technology Incubation and Development of
Entrepreneurs (TIDE), Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), and Innovations for
Defence Excellence (iDEX).

Manufacturing is a critical sector for India to become self-reliance and competitive on the global stage. All
parts of the startup ecosystem can come together to support manufacturing startups through the creation
of more manufacturing incubators which will nurture innovation and growth of the overall manufacturing
capabilities of the nation. Such collaboration between established corporates and upcoming startups will
create a mutually beneficial environment, ultimately helping each entity achieve its own goals while
contributing to the overall development of the nation.
