India's most prominent engineering institute, with an alumni base behind many of the country's largest technology companies.
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is among the most selective engineering institutions in the world, admitting a tiny fraction of applicants from an extremely large national examination pool.
Its location in Mumbai places it in India's financial capital, giving founders access to capital markets alongside technical talent.
SINE, the Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, has incubated companies at IIT Bombay since 2004 and is among India's longest-running university incubators.
The IIT alumni network functions as a genuine national institution — graduates across companies, funds, and government provide an unusually effective introduction network for new founders.
IIT Bombay alumni have founded a substantial share of India's major technology companies, including Ola, co-founded by Bhavish Aggarwal. Output spans consumer internet, fintech, logistics, and enterprise software.
Mumbai and Bangalore host India's venture market, including Blume Ventures, Kalaari Capital, and Accel India, alongside global funds with dedicated India operations and a growing domestic family office base.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
