HYDERABAD, India — India’s largest technology incubator — only 2 years old — is launching its first 90-day accelerator program, thanks to a new Microsoft partnership.
The Hyderabad-based T-Hub has already seen hundreds of startups pass through its doors, and plans to welcome the first 10 startups to the new accelerator program in February, connecting those entrepreneurs to new revenue sources and helping them assess shortcomings in their distribution channels, according to T-Hub CEO Jay Krishnan.
T-Hub’s quick success and now global reach involving corporates, investors, and academia is just one recent example of India’s leapfrogging entrepreneurial ecosystem. While the vast South Asian country has been seeing an increasing number of startups over the past five years, sectors such as fintech are now growing so rapidly in India that developing and developed nations alike are taking note.
