Ahmedabad: Gujarat’s i-Hub in collaboration with SanchiConnect has launched the second cohort of a programme focusing on high-impact sectors such as space, defence, and drone technologies.
Established in 2019, Gujarat Student Startup and Innovation Hub or i-Hub, is an incubation setup initiative by the Gujarat government to provide end-to-end support for startups.
According to the official release, i-Hub Gujarat, in partnership with SanchiConnect, announced the launch of TattvaX Cohort 2. Building on the success of its first edition, the accelerator returns with a broader, more inclusive approach, inviting startups across industries while offering specialised support for ventures in space, defence, drones, and emerging strategic technologies.
i-Hub CEO Hiranmay Mahanta, said that the programme is designed to strengthen India’s deep tech ecosystem by enabling startups to access critical resources, validation opportunities, and strategic networks.
The 90-day accelerator programme combines expert mentorship, exclusive cohort-based learning, hands-on workshops, and pilot opportunities, the release said. Applications for the 90-day programme opened on April 15.
“The programme focuses on Proof of Concept (PoC) and pilot access, where startups will collaborate with relevant stakeholders to validate their solutions in real-world environments. It will culminate in a demo day, offering startups a platform to pitch to leading investors, corporates, and media, opening doors to funding and strategic partnerships,” the release said.
Selected startups will gain access to one-on-one mentorship from industry leaders and VC partners, enabling them to refine their business models and accelerate execution, it added.
