Abstract

Entrepreneurship in India is evolved through start-ups and funding. For rural Indian students, this is still a dream. The goal of this paper is to create a virtual incubator for rural students in India. It will be an online portal that will provide rural students with the opportunity to share their business concepts, form concepts with the help of mentors, gain product maturity, find suitable funding sources, and provide space for product launches and sales. The product development can be done onsite at the student and the product can be demonstrated through the portal. Portal development uses Next.js, Firestore, Firebase Authentication, Socket IO, Node.js, etc. This document describes the process of developing the necessary programming framework and project management methodologies to implement this portal application. This paper also provides screenshots of the development of the prototype of this web application. This work contributes bright ideas for mentors and investors.
