K.R. Mangalam Entrepreneurship and Incubation Centre

Welcome Message from the Director

Dear Student Founders and the K.R. Mangalam University Community,

Welcome to the K.R. Mangalam Entrepreneurship & Incubation Centre (KEIC).

KEIC exists for one simple reason: to help you build. Whether your idea lives in a notebook, keeps you awake at night, or is already taking shape as a startup, this is where it belongs.

Startups are not built by waiting for perfect ideas; they are built by starting, learning fast, and staying resilient.

At KEIC, we don’t expect clarity on Day One. What we do expect is curiosity, ownership, and the courage to try. Our role is to create a safe yet ambitious environment where you can:

  1. 1. Build early, even if it’s messy
  2. 2. Step outside campus and talk to real users
  3. 3. Launch, learn, iterate, and repeat
  4. 4. Convert ideas into products, products into revenue, and revenue into scalable businesses

KEIC is not about buzzwords or endless presentations. It is about real startups, real learning, and real outcomes while you are still a student.

Through KEIC, you will gain access to experienced mentors, founders, investors, seed support, tools, and networks that accelerate your journey.

You will be encouraged to experiment, allowed to fail safely, and supported to bounce back stronger.
Think of KEIC as your startup playground and support system that values effort, respects ownership, and rewards action.

If you are ready to build, break, learn, and build again, KEIC is here for you.

Let’s build something meaningful together.

Rahul Bachhuwan

Dy. Director, KEIC
