Tracing India's Incubation Centres

In the coming days, I will try to prepare a list of India's Technology Incubation Centres. My belief is they are still quite low in number and the ones that are there they don't provide sufficient mentoring to young entrepreneurs.



I remember from my days at IIT, even the sound of the word 'entrepreneur' made some of my colleagues/friends excited and enthusiastic! And I think all across India, there are quite many young people who want to try their hand on it. But I think there aren't much opportunities. Moreover I feel even the young people who want to do it, they aren't matured enough. Even the environment at IIT's don't provide mentoring for developing entrepreneurship.



But some start has already been made. And with the small effort, atleast some companies have started springing up. I hope within the next 10 years, we will not see just few but atleast hundreds of technology companies springing up.
