For close to a decade, #Elevate has empowered Karnataka’s early-stage startups by providing grant-in-aid support and the right ecosystem to scale bold ideas. Building on that legacy, #ElevateNXT marks the next chapter with a dedicated focus on DeepTech, offering grants of up to ₹1 crore and for the first time, opening the platform to startups from across the country.
It was incredible to witness innovators tackling some of the most complex challenges across frontier technologies including AI/ML, quantum, space, healthtech, cleantech and mobility.
From evaluating pitch decks of 983 startups to conducting 661 in-person pitches and 256 finalists pitching in the Grand Finale, we completed the entire process in a record 60 days.
My sincere thanks to my Dept. of @ITBTGoK, our jury members, the participating startups and Karnataka’s unmatched innovation ecosystem for making the maiden edition of ElevateNXT for DeepTech such a powerful success.
