IIMA Ventures, formerly CIIE.CO and the Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship, is the incubation, acceleration, and investment platform at IIM Ahmedabad. Set up in 2002 with support from the Department of Science and Technology and the Government of Gujarat, it has grown into one of India's most prolific startup-support organisations, working from Ahmedabad across the full continuum from ideation to growth-stage investment. It has invested in over 400 startups at pre-seed and seed stages, accelerated more than 1,000, mentored over 5,000, and seen its portfolio raise more than $3 billion in follow-on capital, with investments in 364 companies as of early 2026.
Its track record of backing companies that became unicorns and went public gives it credibility few institutional incubators can match, and it bridges academic innovation and market-ready ventures using IIM Ahmedabad's management depth, research, and alumni network, while also partnering government programmes such as the iDEX defence initiative. Its programmes span pre-seed and seed investment through dedicated AIF funds, acceleration for early startups, sector tracks in deep tech, climate tech, and digitisation, and the iDEX defence programme with DIO, and it recently launched a Rs. 40 crore fund to back 30 deep-tech startups, alongside mentorship cohorts, founder bootcamps, and investor-corporate events from its Ahmedabad campus and satellite offices.
Its portfolio includes Razorpay, Ola, Agnikul, Fourth Partner Energy, CreditVidya, GUVI, and Biosense, with one unicorn, two IPOs, and 19 acquisitions recorded. Early-stage founders across deep tech, climate tech, fintech, agritech, and healthtech benefit most, especially those who need business-strategy support alongside technical development. It is online at iimaventures.com.
