DERBI Story

All started with a seed of thought, subsequent small steps and a bold decision of establishing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC) for Dayananda Sagar Institutions (DSI) to nurture and promote entrepreneurship among the students and faculty of DSI back in 2009.

The tremendous response by the students, plethora of activities and extensive interaction with communities led to creating an ecosystem conducive to supporting the Startups and Innovators beyond DSI. Additionally, with the financial and other support by NSTEDB, the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India led to the creation of the DERBI Foundation in 2015 with an aim to Fuel Dreams of Innovators, Entrepreneurs and Startups to gather PACE, GALLOP Business and EMERGE successfully through our pre-incubation, incubation, and acceleration programs.

Innovators and entrepreneurs of very early-stage budding startups need a structured yet flexible program, mentorship, and necessary support to give their ideas a wing.

Inspiration is the spark needed to come up with a disruptive idea. Seeking that inspiration needs time, creative mind space, travelling, interacting with communities, and experiencing the pain oneself.

Developing Smart products, especially with electronics and intelligence being in the centre, requires inter-disciplinary efforts and a lot of support.
