14 Deep Tech Start-Ups Selected for T-Hub Training
Blueprint to help founders unlock capital, markets, IP, talent and global opportunities
Hyderabad: Fourteen deep tech start-ups have been selected for a 12-month programme aimed at helping them move from early traction to scale, with support in capital, market access, intellectual property, talent and operational challenges.
The first cohort, called Blueprint, comprises Kritsnam, ArtusAI, Litemed, Zodhya, Arkle Energy, Sensehealth, Vahn, Buildwright, Sanyark Space, Semex AI, Pavakah Energy, Vecros, Portl and Storyvord.
Under the programme, founders will work with T-Hub as a “generalist CXO”, with a focus on building the operating and commercial foundations required for their next stage of growth.
Each start-up will receive a 12-month operating plan and assistance in preparing for its next fundraise through an investor-ready pitch and a data room covering finances, ownership, legal documents and business traction.
The start-ups will also receive one-to-one mentoring from technical operators, access to talent pipelines and intellectual property, investor interactions, enterprise contract opportunities and international exposure.
The programme was launched during HYD - Deep Tech: Next, which also brought founders into discussions with the Technology Development Board (TDB) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
TDB secretary Rajesh Kumar Pathak spoke to the start-ups about the Centre’s Rs 1 lakh crore Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Fund, including eligibility, funding instruments and the process of accessing the fund. He described it as a potential capital route for Indian deep tech start-ups with significant economic and strategic potential.
