About InCoBAN

InCoBAN is an ecosystem that possesses leadership qualities as an industry improvement initiative, positioned to tackle the absolute challenges that the Indian Construction Sector grapples with, impacting the livelihoods of over 60 to 70 million individuals. Besides merely being an initiative, InCoBAN aspires to inspire the lives of the people who rely on the construction sector, nationwide, and to drive positive improvements in the quality of construction. We recognize the challenges in establishing and sustaining infrastructure in India and believe in driving industry expansion. We also aim at positioning our nation as a global player in construction and development.

InCoBAN functions as a robust and integrated ecosystem at its core, anchored by the idea that “complex system problems demand complex solutions.” This way of thinking reflects our IKIGAI and drives our dedication to addressing challenges comprehensively rather than individually. By focusing on a holistic approach to industry enhancement, we strive to improve the present-day construction environment.


As an evolving medium, InCoBAN collaborates with a range of stakeholders, from government organizations to industry experts, to encourage transformational improvements in the building and infrastructure sectors. By doing this, we aim to contribute to the establishment of an energy ecosystem, that not only tackles present problems but also promotes continual creativity and sustainable development in this industry.
