Since our launch in 2007, Venture Center has contributed to the journeys of 600+ startups and, as of 2021, houses 70+ resident startups at any time. Starting 2009, the Venture Center team launched its pioneering Lab2Mkt program for creating spinout companies from publicly funded labs. So far, 12 spinout companies have emerged from our host institute CSIR-NCL. In 2011, Venture Center launched a virtual incubation program — the Associate Incubatee Program — to support and nurture companies which are not physically located in the Venture Center premises. This allowed us to expand our reach across the country spanning several states and cities.
 
Through our incubation programs, we support companies with knowledge intensive/IP-rich innovative solutions, business models with a high growth potential, and a team that is driven, competent, and will strengthen the ecosystem at Venture Center. 
 
In addition to helping both new and existing incubatee companies take their business to the next level, Venture Center also supports larger entities setting up R&D centers in Pune via the Soft Landing Program.
