JIS launched its Entrepreneurship Incubation Centre, christened “Made in JIS”, in New Town, Kolkata. The initiative marks a significant milestone in fostering a robust, innovation-driven startup ecosystem in Eastern India – one that nurtures student entrepreneurs, early-stage startups, and industry-led innovation.

Conceived as a collaborative innovation hub, the Centre aims to connect students, startup founders, corporates, incubators, academic institutions, and ecosystem enablers on a single, unified platform. JIS envisions an environment where ideas evolve into scalable, impactful ventures — supported by mentorship, industry exposure, strategic guidance, and structured entrepreneurial resources.

The Centre will offer two dedicated programmes. The Pre-Incubation Programme focuses on idea validation, startup fundamentals, mentorship, and entrepreneurial orientation for students. The Growth Track Programme is an execution-driven platform designed to help early-stage startups navigate product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, fundraising readiness, business development, and scalability.

The launch ceremony was attended by Mr. Arjun Vaidya, Co-Founder of V3 Ventures and Founder of Dr. Vaidya’s, a prominent D2C entrepreneur and early-stage investor; Mr. Meghdut Roy Chowdhury, Executive Director of Techno India Group; Mr. Manoj Khosla, Director of Khosla Group; and Ms. Jaspreet Kaur, Director of JIS, along with other distinguished guests.

Speaking at the launch, Ms. Jaspreet Kaur, Director, JIS Group, said: “The launch of the Entrepreneurship Incubation Centre reflects JIS’s vision of building a thriving innovation ecosystem where students and young founders are empowered with the right mentorship, exposure, and opportunities to create impactful ventures.”
