The LIFE support program is designed to help innovators to help start-up. If at the end of LIFE program, the awardees have been able to start a new venture with a proof-of-concept or a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), they would be considered for the BIP for incubation of their start-ups.

LIVE is an Entrepreneurship Development Centre and Business Incubator at the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode. This is established by IIM Kozhikode and is supported by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.

  • LIFE Support will include:
    • The LIFE award recipient will be eligible for a grant in the form of monthly stipend limited to Rs.30,000/- per month with a minimum level of Rs.10,000/- per month for a period of 12 months.
    • As an LIFE recipient, the recipient gets pre-incubation support that includes subsidized co-woking space, professional services support and guidance to establish/make the most of their ideas and turn innovative breakthrough into a business venture.
    • Access to LIVE Ecosystem network and IIM Kozhikode networks of academic experts, investors, corporates, partner institutions, alumni and other associates.
    • Access to entrepreneurship training and workshops at subsidized rates.

What will be the duration of LIFE support program?

  • The duration of the support will not be more than 18 months
  • If LIFE recipient raises funding or investments for their business ideas/ potential start ups, the grant support shall be discontinued from the date of receipt of the first tranche of funds
  • IIMK LIVE may terminate the support to non-performing LIFE recipient even before completion of 18 months with intimation to IIMK LIVE /NSTEDB.

How is LIFE program different from the Business Incubation Program at LIVE?

  • LIFE program aims at supporting innovators through monthly stipend/ subsistence grant helping them survive the uncertainties during the phase of idea to product development. It typically concludes with prototype/ MVP/ proof of concept that is patentable and it has business potential. An applicant is an individual with innovative idea.
  • BIP of IIMK LIVE aims at supporting start-ups through seed fund assistance helping them survive the risks during the phase of commercialization. It typically concludes with reasonable revenue generation or significant external funding for further growth. An applicant is a new venture (generally a registered company) with a business plan.
  • Both programs benefit from LIVE’s start-up ecosystem that comprises of intellectual, infrastructure and network resources supported by the premier IIM Kozhikode and Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
