MANAGE- Centre for Innovation and Agripreneurship (CIA) is a Centre of Excellence in Agribusiness Incubation hosted at the National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE). It is one of the leading Agribusiness Incubators in India with incubated 495 and mentored 989 Agripreneurs & startups from various focus areas of the Agri & Allied Sectors.
Having trained start-ups from agro-processing, post-harvest technologies, value addition, farm mechanization, animal husbandry, fisheries, dairy, commodity trading to supply chain management and Agri-Consultancy, the Centre has assisted and provided relentless support to Agripreneurs, helping them fine tune their ideas and upscale their operations.
With each graduating cohort, it came to the centre’s notice that though there are enthusiastic budding Agripreneurs willing to invest time and money, yet they lack apt mentoring platforms to sharpen/refine their ideas & provide necessary connectivity & guidance on various aspects of agribusiness. This gap was acting as a big chasm for people with business ideas to venture any further into the Agri-ecosystem.
Taking cognizance of this gap and recounting all experiences/feedback from previous five cohort’s MANAGE-CIA decided to come up with a one of its kind Pre-Incubation training programs to assist anyone with a business idea interested to work in Agri-ecosystem, to guide them in idea generation, understanding the Agri startup ecosystem and setting up the business. With the boom in the Agri-tech sector and more getting into entrepreneurship, foundation programs like pre-incubation programs will help to set them on the right path.
The program aims to enhance the entrepreneurial capabilities of aspiring agripreneurs and create greater awareness about Agri Startups.
