You may hate it, but most academic incubators are wastes of space and government money. They try to emulate Silicon Valley without understanding the Indian market. And let's be honest, non-IIT/IIM institutions often lack the faculty with actual business experience to guide startups. As for funding, it's necessary but not sufficient. Almost all the successful startups I know outgrew their incubators quickly and succeeded DESPITE them, not because of them.

No reason for hate when it comes to constructive criticism. Yes, academic incubators (not all) has the same type of model and policies without any brainstorming or strategic critical thinking. For example, Ahmedabad and Baroda Startup Ecosystem may be have completely different requirements. Similarly, Bangalore and Silicon Valley. When it comes to our country India, we should understand the fabric and flavours of our soil to seed and grow a startup for long run.
