Our Story

Entrepreneurship is no longer just about innovation—it’s about navigating complex legal landscapes, securing funding, and finding the right market fit. Recognizing this challenge, NEF was established at NALSAR to create a first-of-its-kind entrepreneurial ecosystem that integrates legal proficiency with business development. The idea for NEF stemmed from a growing need to support startups operating in heavily regulated sectors, such as fintech, health tech, and legal tech. As one of India’s top law schools, NALSAR provides a strong foundation in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and policy frameworks, ensuring that every startup incubated at NEF is legally robust from the outset. Through strategic partnerships with VCs, angel investors, and industry experts, NEF has positioned itself as a launchpad for businesses that not only innovate but also operate with legal clarity and financial sustainability. With a wide network of mentors, investors, and thought leaders, NEF is not just an incubator—it’s a hub where business acumen meets legal expertise, revolutionising the next generation of industry leaders.
