ISWA brings together the key pillars of the startup ecosystem to help entrepreneurs grow faster. We create connections, collaborations, and opportunities that strengthen the entire community.

Our Approach

Community First

We believe startups grow faster when they grow together. Our focus is on building a welcoming community where founders, students, mentors, and professionals can connect, share experiences, and support one another.

Step-by-Step Support

We understand that every startup is at a different stage. Our approach is to help entrepreneurs one step at a time — from idea validation to early growth — through guidance, resources, learning sessions, and the right connections.

Collaboration Over Competition

We work closely with corporates, investors, colleges, and ecosystem partners to create meaningful opportunities for startups. By encouraging collaboration instead of competition, we help founders access knowledge, talent, and networks more easily.

Transparent & Impact-Driven

Our goal is to create real change, not just run activities. We maintain transparency in everything we do and focus on impact — whether it’s supporting founders, improving skills, creating jobs, or contributing to the growth of Indore’s startup ecosystem.
