About NIRMANA-100

‌India’s First AECO-Focused Pilot & Deployment Readiness Program

NIRMANA-100 is a 100-day structured program designed for incorporated AECO startups across stages – from ideation to MVP and post-MVP solutions.
It focuses on supporting ideas and advancing the products toward real-world validation through pilot opportunities and domain-specific GTM support. The program offers structured mentorship, grant access, technical inputs and directly industry access.The program is built around the conviction that in a domain as specific and conservative as AECO, a well-built, domain-validated MVP is not a given — it requires structured mentorship, technical guidance, and domain exposure.
