Wadhwani Foundation’s flagship initiative, National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), has released a white paper for the Department of Science & Technology (DST) to institute standards for the establishment and working of incubators in India. Titled “Guidelines – Metrics & Milestones for Successful Incubator Development”, the white paper has drawn heavily from NEN’s decade long experience in the Indian Start-up Eco-system wherein it has played a key guiding role in several start-ups turning profitable. NEN believes that incubators can be a great asset for India provided we establish mechanisms to enable higher success for them – policies that will govern the right selection criteria for who should be funded; practical and required guidelines on developmental milestones for building them up as organizations; right metrics to both measure and award success; knowledge, skills and best practices to enable teams to successful initiate and manage incubators; realistic understanding and expectations on sustainability.
Um produto amplamente pesquisado, o white paper se baseia em várias fontes de informação que incluem entrevistas com gerentes de incubadoras na Índia e em outras partes do mundo; conversas com empreendedores incubados, tanto graduados quanto atuais, de diferentes incubadoras. Além disso, muitas pesquisas secundárias embasaram este documento, incluindo revisão da literatura e resultados de pesquisas sobre os diferentes tipos de incubadoras em todo o mundo, seus serviços de suporte e métricas.
NEN’s Co-Founder & Senior Director, also the lead author of the white paper, Sunita Singh says, “It is critical to arrive at a nationally accepted set of incubator metrics for India to be a key player globally in the space of incubation. Business incubators have the potential to bring about economic development in any geography. An incubator should be able to create sustainable and strong entrepreneur support infrastructure as an enabler to technology inventors and entrepreneurs for building successful start-ups.Progression of business incubators can be structured using milestone-driven progress indicators. We aim at creating a strong and efficient starting point, from where a common set of benchmarks, milestones & metrics can help incubators and their stakeholders achieve their goals.”
Com base nesse white paper, os dois principais indicadores que ajudarão a estabelecer diretrizes, métricas e marcos nacionais para as incubadoras na Índia são:
1. Categorization of incubators: identifying unique characteristics and success factors for each incubator thereby enabling replication of successful s, appropriate under different conditions. This classification is key to differentiate between the nature of the clients that the incubators deal with and the related business s
2. Critical indicators of success: for companies that the different categories of incubators support. While economic and social impact of an incubator is long term, outcomes that are immediately measurable are critical to understand, especially if the incubator is making progress
The solutions & recommendations in the white paper are based on a detailed understanding of key factors that govern incubator categorization like motive, size of opportunity, location, in-house expertise and sphere of influence.
Sanjay Anandaram, renomado conselheiro-mentor, investidor e defensor fervoroso do empreendedorismo, que também assessorou a NEN no desenvolvimento de incubadoras, afirma: "O white paper apresentado pela NEN é uma etapa importante na criação de uma rede vibrante de incubadoras na Índia. Ele ajudará a categorizar, medir, estabelecer diretrizes e práticas recomendadas e garantir que as incubadoras desempenhem seu papel legítimo no estímulo e crescimento do empreendedorismo na Índia. O relatório deve ser amplamente divulgado, discutido e aplicado."
As recomendações do white paper sobre métricas e marcos baseiam-se na lógica sequencial de que as incubadoras criam empreendedores que, por sua vez, criam impacto na forma de receita, retorno para os acionistas, novos empregos e impacto social. Portanto, as métricas de medição precisam se concentrar no impacto de longo prazo, nos resultados imediatos e nos marcos de desenvolvimento organizacional.
O white paper também fornece uma visão útil sobre:
– Key challenges that incubators face in terms of the right amount of funding required and financial sustainability
– Training and mentoring services for community entrepreneurs at the incubator & returnable seed money to incubated companies
No futuro, a NEN se concentrará em alavancar sua experiência para ajudar o setor de incubadoras na Índia e em outras economias emergentes a amadurecer, fornecendo os seguintes serviços de suporte:
– Internal capacity-building of incubators : training, webinars and best practices’ sharing forum for incubator managers, and other personnel
– External support for incubators: develop s and methodologies to engage corporate sector in the incubator industry to enable stronger professionalism, additional money flow into incubators, non-financial resources for the incubator and its start-ups
– Create tools in the form of ‘How to guides’ and videos for incubator personnel to use
– Evolve consultancy support for new and upcoming incubators to help them develop more systematically

Sobre a Fundação Wadhwani:
Fundada em 2003 pelo Dr. Romesh Wadhwani, a missão principal da Fundação é a aceleração econômica das economias emergentes. A Fundação iniciou sua missão primeiramente na Índia e, posteriormente, expandiu-se para os EUA e outros países. Na Índia, com um crescimento esperado de 250 a 300 milhões de pessoas entrando na força de trabalho até 2022, a criação de empregos em larga escala tornou-se o principal imperativo para o país. Além disso, à medida que a população indiana se torna jovem, a maioria das nações avançadas do mundo está envelhecendo, oferecendo à Índia a oportunidade de se tornar o fornecedor global de talentos. A catalisação da criação de empregos e o desenvolvimento de habilidades tornaram-se as duas principais áreas de foco da Fundação. Durante a última década, a Fundação Wadhwani lançou cinco iniciativas de alto impacto na Índia. Essas iniciativas incluem a promoção de habilidades empresariais e de emprego, o aproveitamento dos deficientes instruídos, o incentivo à inovação e a promoção de mudanças nas políticas para impulsionar as oportunidades econômicas. Para lidar com o desemprego persistentemente alto de jovens e trabalhadores deslocados nos EUA, a Wadhwani Foundation lançou a iniciativa Race to a Job (Corrida para um emprego) em 2012.
