Summary

  • A 12-week Women in Tech Accelerator has opened for women-led technology startups, with the inaugural cohort limited to five ventures across areas including AI, climate tech, MedTech, robotics and EdTech.
  • The program targets barriers women founders face in India—especially access to capital, networks, mentorship and growth opportunities—by offering structured mentoring, industry links, investor-readiness support and market expansion help.
  • Selected startups will also pitch on Ideabaaz Season 2 before investors, industry leaders and a television audience, giving the cohort national visibility alongside fundraising exposure.
  • The launch builds on Ideabaaz Season 1, which featured 86 startups and facilitated Rs 41 crore in deals, while BMU's Propel Incubator says it has backed more than 110 startups that raised over Rs 110 crore in five years.
