In order to promote entrepreneurship and new business ventures, particularly in developing nations like India, business incubators must be integrated into universities. Due to their youth and lack of financial responsibilities, many students are more inclined to take chances and pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. The purpose of this paper is to examine the value of academic incubators in India, their function in fostering entrepreneurial abilities, and their role in the launch of new businesses. The paper offers insights into how universities can better prepare students for entrepreneurial success by analyzing the opportunities and challenges in the current academic incubation landscape.
