Techstars Bangalore宣布了9家印度初創公司的名字，這是該公司在印度的第三批創業公司。Techstars招牌的導師驅動加速項目將在Covid-19大流行期間虛擬運行。每家被選中的創業公司將獲得12萬美元的投資。Techstars Bangalore董事總經理Dhritiman Hui在宣布入選初創公司的名字時表示:“看到印度創始人越來越多地關注知識產權，並為全球市場而不僅僅是印度市場進行建設，這令人振奮。這些隻會為投資者創造更好的結果、可持續的商業模式和更多的價值創造。”除了12萬美元的投資，該項目還包括導師瘋狂會議，在此期間，初創公司與來自印度和國外的70多名導師建立聯係。在最初幾周提供幫助的導師包括Venture Highway的Priya Mohan、Big Basket的Hari TN和Babajobs的聯合創始人Vir Kashyap。在Techstars 2019年和2020年在印度的成功基礎上，Techstars班加羅爾的搜索團隊會見了數百家初創公司，然後選擇了9家專注於為北美和歐洲發達市場開發專有軟件解決方案的初創公司。Techstars同樣熱衷於支持企業家為印度和其他新興市場提供負擔得起的解決方案。Techstars龐大的全球網絡是為幫助這兩類企業家而建立的理想網絡。 The Techstars search team was amazed at how founders drove down product costs, often on shoestring budgets, where incumbents missed the opportunity.
