About IIT Ropar Technology Business Incubator Foundation (TBIF)

IIT Ropar set up its Technology Business Incubator Foundation (TBIF) in 2016 as an independent Section 8 company, hosting the institute's incubator under the DST NIDHI TBI scheme. It works from the M. Visvesvaraya Block on the Punjab campus and serves founders both from the institute and from around the country.

The headline programme, Launchpad, puts up to Rs. 10 lakh of seed capital into early-stage startups, and those selected also tap advanced laboratories, a cloud stack, co-working space, research collaboration, compliance and regulatory help, investor introductions, and expert mentoring. On the national stage, TBIF runs initiatives such as the Switch India Hackathon to find and promote promising deep-tech founders.

Early deep-tech startups in Punjab and north India after seed money, lab access, and structured incubation on an IIT campus fit best, along with IIT Ropar students and outside founders who need prototyping infrastructure, cloud resources, and mentoring to get from concept to market. It is online at tbifiitrpr.org.
