About NIF

India's Pioneering Bioconvergence Incubation Centre

Nattraja Incubation Forum (NIF), also known as NLB — Nattraja Launchpad for Bioconvergence, is India's first healthcare innovation-focused incubation centre, established under the aegis of JKKN Institutions in Komarapalayam, Tamil Nadu.

Founded on the visionary concept of bioconvergence by Mr. Ommsharravana — an entrepreneur, investor, and educationalist — NIF stands as a crucible of ideas where biology, technology, and healthcare converge to create transformative solutions for India's healthcare challenges.

NIF addresses three critical barriers that healthcare innovators face: accessing clinical mentorships, navigating ethical clearance processes, and managing animal house protocols. With over 10,000 sq ft of dedicated workspace and strategic tri-party MOUs with 5+ hospitals, NIF provides the complete ecosystem for turning healthcare ideas into market-ready products.
