Tech giant Google has shortlisted 20 artificial intelligence (AI)-first startups in the seed to Series A stage for the eighth batch of its startup accelerator in India.
“These startups represent cutting-edge AI innovation in India, tackling diverse challenges, including discovering antibodies, detecting identity fraud, helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to reach more customers, reducing developers’ repetitive work and focusing on building solutions that use AI to address systemic challenges,” Google said in a blog post on Friday (December 8).
The company aims to foster an environment that nurtures innovative startups and fuels the rapidly evolving AI landscape of the Indian startup ecosystem, it added.
The accelerator offers a three-month equity-free programme where selected startups get mentorship and support across areas such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, cloud, user experience, Android, web, product strategy and growth. It will also conduct workshops focused on product design, customer acquisition and leadership.
The current batch started this week with a week-long in-person boot camp, which includes training workshops and mentorship support around product, design, tech, growth and people.
