Mona Singh, Co-Founder of India Accelerator, shared the initiative’s broader vision. “India Accelerator & Finvolve are committed to enabling startups to create meaningful, market-driven impact. Startup Cohort ’25 will go beyond funding by providing full ecosystem support, from tailored go-to-market strategies to access to industry experts through a specialised mentor board,” she said.
The program promises to offer more than just funding. Singh emphasized, “The cohort will offer not just resources, but a robust launchpad to achieve market readiness.” In line with this, a 360-degree acceleration framework will be implemented, offering startups specialized mentoring and access to a curated network of industry leaders across robotics, AI, mobility, and impact-driven sectors. These experts will provide sector-specific guidance tailored to the unique needs of each startup.
The Cohort’25 is expected to be a game-changer for tech startups looking to make their mark in industries such as defense, sustainable transportation, and cutting-edge AI technologies. With its full ecosystem support, industry mentorship, and a significant investment pool, the initiative is well-positioned to drive meaningful growth for startups aiming to scale their solutions to the next level.
