August 16, 2025: Startups in India have long grappled with fragmented resources, good ideas often stall without the right support system. IQue Ventures‘ newly announced ‘Startup Park’, a ₹600 crore initiative, directly addresses these pain points with a scalable, physical and strategic platform for early, and growth-stage ventures.
The project’s first facility, worth ₹50 crore, is scheduled to open on September 15 in Bengaluru, India’s technology capital. Once operational, the hub will offer startups access to essential infrastructure, mentorship, funding opportunities, and collaborative workspaces, all within one integrated ecosystem.
More than just a co-working model, Startup Park is positioned as a multi-functional innovation platform designed to bridge the gaps startups face across their journey, from pitching to scaling.
Targeting Gaps in Infrastructure, Mentorship & Access
IQue Ventures’ plan to support over 200 startups and generate 10,000+ jobs within six quarters is rooted in a deeper understanding of what hinders innovation at scale. Many early-stage founders struggle with access to affordable labs, expert mentorship, or reliable investor touchpoints. Startup Park intends to offer:
- Pitch studios for investor presentations
- R&D labs for prototyping and testing
- Mentorship programs with domain experts
- Collaborative coworking spaces tailored for startups
This integrated approach, according to the company, enables founders to focus on building and scaling without chasing scattered resources.
IQue Ventures: Creating a Nationwide Startup Network
While the Bengaluru facility is the launchpad, IQue Ventures aims to replicate the model across India, building a connected network of startup hubs that can facilitate cross-sector innovation and region-specific support. The idea is to eventually expand into global markets, tying Indian startups into international ecosystems.
The initiative also emphasizes collaboration with government bodies, corporates, and international stakeholders, aiming to unlock additional avenues of funding, policy support, and market access.
Driving Impact Beyond Infrastructure
Beyond workspace and facilities, IQue Ventures is developing tailored programs for every phase of the startup lifecycle, from ideation and validation to product-market fit and international expansion.
According to the company, over 100 projects have already been supported through its broader ecosystem, which includes advisory, funding partnerships, and public-private collaborations.
The launch of Startup Park signals a shift from isolated startup support to holistic ecosystem-building, not just for founders, but also for investors, corporate partners, and development agencies looking to plug into the next wave of innovation.
