I think the most important couple of things a YC Clone needs is strong mentorship from someone who's been there, done that and a strong hacker community. Both of which seem to be missing at a cursory glance, and from the way they have worded it, seems like a prison of sorts :-)
- ptm 19y agoMBA schools in India seem to be taking a lead in incubation. Of course, you are not likely to find hackers, mentors (in a startup sense), or entrepreneurs there.
- sachindev 19y agoyes for sure....a lot of techies do end up doing their MBAs but rarely follow the tech-path post that...interestingly thou i've been reading about iim grads doing tech start-ups (not to mention the biggest successes of indian web 1.0 ventures - rediff, naukri n makemytrip were iim grad ventures and not iitians)....incubation is beginning to happen in India even at engineering colleges...i am from an NIT (comparable to some of the better IITs) and they've taken a leaf from IIMs to implement the placement holiday...i dont have to take the risk of not finding a good job in case my start-up fails...my college lets me sit in the placements over next 3 years
- sonink 19y agonot really ..check this out .."Once the prototype is ready, IIM Ahmedabad students shall work closely with the teams to develop a sound business plan and get traction for the product."..so finally the business guys will get in and teach a thing or two to the hacker group ;)...sounds like a plan.
