Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE)

The Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE) is a platform for development of entrepreneurship. The SINE supports technology based entrepreneurship and extends the role of IIT Bombay by facilitating the conversion of research activity into entrepreneurial ventures. The IIT Bombay is one of the best institutes of technological innovation and research in India.

An IT business incubator was set up at Kanwal Rekhi School of Information and Technology, IIT Bombay in 1999. The presence of incubator makes the environment at the institute conducive for development of entrepreneurial skills. The initial experiment was a success and hence IIT Bombay is in the process of developing full fledged technology business incubator to cover other areas of science and technology.

The SINE came into being in 2004 to look after the business incubator and thrust the growth of entrepreneurship in IIT Bombay. Since then the SINE is serving as a role model for other business incubators. The incubator are large enough to accommodate 15 - 17 companies.
