No Man Is An Island As startup BIZ Experiencess, everything will be limited whether it is your time, knowledge or resources. As the founder, one needs to be focused on the most critical matters. But the rest still needs to get done.

Starting a business in India could not have been anymore easier or cheaper then as it stands today. It is almost as if it takes two people to get you started up. One person who can code and the other person who can sell.

But the shedding of these barriers to entry has come with its own downside which is coming to be seen in the fierce competition for finding the right talent, acquiring already bombarded customers and most importantly getting the funding to stay alive. As startup BIZ Experiencess, everything will be limited whether it is your time, knowledge or resources. As the founder, one needs to be focused on the most critical matters. But the rest still needs to get done and that's where business incubators step in. While government supported business incubators in India have been existing ever since 90s, the private sector participation started gaining ground from around 2008 onwards, and today there are around 30 business incubators in India that are doing some notable work. But incubator services come at a price which can be service fee, equity or opportunity costs. This is a serious business decision to be carefully evaluated. BIZ Experiences magazine has come out with the first survey of 100 brilliant Incubators in India to be your aide and guide on selecting the right incubator keeping in view their specialization, costs and what
makes them so brilliant and startups who were able to make it big on the back of an incubation programme.
