In the era of competition and globalisation, capacity-building programmes of Science and Technology (S&T) focus on the advancement and development of research, innovation, and research and development (R&D). That notion is also in the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector, and henceforth, the Indian government has started to develop new incubation centres aiming at domestic manufacturing. In that aspect, the article has two objectives: (a) Incubation and India, and (b) the Electropreneur Park (EP), New Delhi, an incubation centre emphasising the ecosystem and its core elements that nurture innovation and innovative activities using the innovation ecosystem concept as a framework. The study, besides EP analysis, also points out that the process is in the developmental stage and will significantly accelerate in the coming years.
