Customers are startups in verticals including medtech, edutech, automotive electronics, strategic electronics, EV, defence, and drones, with portfolio examples spanning Genelek Technologies, ArogyaMed, Motorama, IoTomation, Electrifuel, STEMROBO, JanelaaJ, and Predulive Labs.

Direct peers

• TiE Delhi-NCR: Delhi chapter of The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), a global not-for-profit fostering entrepreneurship through mentorship, networking, and funding. Operates in the same Delhi-NCR geography as EP and competes for the same founder community.
• T-Hub: India's largest startup incubator based in Hyderabad. T-Hub is a government-academia-industry partnership similar to EP, providing incubation, mentorship, and corporate connect to early-stage startups across multiple deep-tech verticals including ESDM and IoT.
• CIIE.CO at IIM Ahmedabad: Leading academic-anchored incubator and early-stage investor at IIM Ahmedabad. Comparable to EP as a tier-1 Indian incubator backing technology and innovation-driven startups, with both incubation and venture-funding programmes.
• IIT Delhi Incubation Centre: IIT Delhi's incubation arm, geographically co-located in Delhi with EP. Competes directly for the same pool of Delhi-based deep-tech and hardware founders and offers similar lab, mentorship, and equity-free programmes.
