a focus on AI and STREAM, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Startup 
Haryana, the nodal agency of the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government
of Haryana. The agreement was signed on 10 March 2026 at the MSME office by Dr Yash

The partnership opens a significant new pathway for Dbels students, who will now
have direct access to the state’s formal start-up ecosystem. Young founders emerging
from the school’s entrepreneurship programme will be able to register with Startup
Haryana and seriously pursue their ventures, backed by government support, mentorship,
and incubation resources at an age when most students are only beginning to think
about career options.

Under the MoU,[ Dbels](https://www.dassandbrownschool.com/) will extend mentorship,
marketing guidance, and incubation support to start-ups registered with Startup 
Haryana, free of charge. As a distinctive commitment to women’s entrepreneurship,
the school will offer two complimentary co-working seats to women entrepreneurs 
who are mothers, upon the formal launch of its co-working space.

The signing builds upon an existing relationship between the two institutions. In**
February 2026**, Startup Haryana conducted a sensitisation and awareness workshop
on fiscal schemes available for incubators under the **Haryana State Startup Policy**
2022, choosing the Dbels campus as the venue. Representatives from leading educational
institutions across Panchkula attended the session, which covered eligibility criteria,
application procedures, and the broader objectives of strengthening the incubation
ecosystem in Haryana.

**Dr Gopan Gopalakrishnan, Deputy CEO**, Dbels, said at the time: “Hosting this 
workshop aligns with our mission of fostering entrepreneurial thinking from an early
age. We are pleased that Startup Haryana chose our institution as the venue to engage
Panchkula’s academic community on these critical policy initiatives.”

Dbels integrates the Cambridge International curriculum with Finnish Early Years
methodology and a dedicated Experiential Learning stream, and is among the few schools
in India to embed artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship education into daily
classroom practice from Grade 1 onwards. The school operates under the aegis of 
the DCM Group of Schools, founded in 1946.

Speaking at the MoU signing, **Ms Anju Mehta** described the partnership as a natural
extension of the school’s founding philosophy: “Entrepreneurship is not a subject
we teach; it is a way of thinking we cultivate.”

The MoU reflects a shared commitment between the Government of Haryana and[ Dbels](https://www.dassandbrownschool.com/)
to build a pipeline of innovation-ready young minds within the state. Dbels is now
a registered ecosystem partner with Startup Haryana, further consolidating its position
as the tricity’s leading institution for entrepreneurship education in the K-12 
segment.
