Design Business Incubator (hubIN)

The Business Incubation Cell at ARCH was inaugurated on 2nd March 2017 by Ms Kiran Maheshwari, the then Rajasthan Minister for Higher Education. Design Business Incubator (hubIN) at ARCH College of Design & Business focused on Creative entrepreneurship was set up to facilitate the necessary mentoring and networking connections required to provide support to students to find the right professional opportunities. The industry-oriented emphasis on learning at ARCH focuses on employability making it a favourite destination for companies.

From the ideation stage to preparing a prototype, through to the pilot stage, to start production, the incubation cell aims to nurture a culture of entrepreneurship in the creative minds of young designers, so that their ideas metamorphose into new products or services suitable for commercial utilisation.
