MSME Approved Business Incubator & IIC Startup Funding
Innovative projects born out of Intern-Thon and Buildathon hackathons are fast-tracked into the Government-Approved MSME Business Incubator and the Institution's Innovation Council (IIC - Ministry of Education) at RVIT. Selected student startups receive seed funding grants, dedicated lab space, patent filing assistance, and direct mentorship from venture capitalists and industry veterans.
Testimonials: From Hackathon Winners to Tech Leaders
"Participating in RVIT Intern-Thon and leading a Vanguard development squad gave me the practical knowledge of managing Docker containers, cloud deployments, and RESTful APIs. When Cognizant interviewed me, 80% of our technical discussion was centered on the projects I built during Intern-Thon. Vanguard made all the difference in my career!"
