Facilities
We make use of IIT Mandi’s cutting-edge administrative and technical facilities. Our startups benefit from a formidable support system on campus, which includes everything from conference rooms to technical laboratories. We are also establishing a dedicated fabrication lab for startups under the NSTEDB, DST Nidhi-Prayas Scheme. The lab’s plan and funding have already been approved.
In 2020-21, Catalyst will set up a Prayas Lab or ‘Prayasshala’. Prayasshala is a Fabrication Lab that will be exclusive to the startups. The lab will provide a rapid prototyping platform where innovators would bring ideas to life. The lab will also focus on educational purposes. Startups can learn to operate 3D printers, PCB prototyping machine, CNC routers, design & simulation software, electronics & mechanical tools to make (almost) anything. Startups are expected to make use of this lab in developing prototypes.
● Catalyst maintains a coworking space with a capacity of about 50 seats. The space is appropriate for startup teams to work efficiently on their ideas. Located within the campus, the cowork space has facilities of a meeting room, video conference, and audio conference.
● We also provide dedicated office space to startups based on need and suitability.
● Based on availability, the startup teams are provided residential space with basic amenities in a shared hostels.
● The hostel is located inside the campus where startups are able to engage with the students of IIT Mandi.
IIT Mandi has state of the art laboratories in various domain areas. These are available for access to startups at subsidized rates as per IIT Mandi policy.
