Start-ups are the initiative to bring innovation in mainstream. Industry-academia partnership and incubation are the critical factors that dictate start-ups’ success. Realizing the potential of start-ups in making India “Atmanirbhar”, the National Research Development Corporation(NRDC) and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), have joined hands to establish an Innovation cum Incubation Centre with external private funding, to promote start-ups in the emerging area of aerospace technologies.


The National Research Development Corporation(NRDC) and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), have joined hands to establish an Innovation cum Incubation Centre with external private funding, to promote start-ups in the emerging area of aerospace technologies.

Under this programme start-ups in the area of Aerospace engineering would be incubated, mentored and supported for product and prototype development and their validation. “It is a historical day as NRDC and CSIR-NAL forged an innovative partnership to promote start-ups in the niche high tech area of aerospace engineering and this partnership may pave a way for establishing Innovation cum Incubation Centres in other CSIR laboratories which are working in different thematic areas” said Dr. H. Purushotham, Chief Managing Director, NRDC. He expressed confidence that this partnership will help create employment opportunities to the youth of India.

The agreement was signed by Dr. H. Purushothamand Dr. Jitendra J. Jadhav, Director, CSIR-NAL and was exchanged by the representatives of both the organisations in the presence of Dr Shekhar C Mande Secretary Department of Scientific and Industrial Research(DSIR) and Director General CSIR, Shri R Vaidheeswaran, Joint Secretay, DSIR and other senior officials of CSIR and NAL at CSIR Head Quarters, New Delhi.
