One of India’s largest startup incubator and speed scaling platform Anthill have partnered to launch a corporate innovation program that will be launch on March 30.
The program, called MERGE, aims to bring together corporates, startups and investors under one roof to connect, collaborate and create new ideas. The idea is to introduce corporates to the agility of startups and access to the best of innovators.
In turn, startups will get a chance to be able to meet corporates, learn how to scale from them and get a chance to partner with these corporates and build innovative solutions.
There will be an exchange of dialogue on how partnerships with startups have been beneficial to corporates and how corporates have helped startups in scaling up.
The event will see several industry leaders like Samsung, Qualcomm, YES Bank, PwC, NVIDIA, and Reliance coming to T-Hub to share their experiences on their success stories, the need for innovation, and their initiatives in the country to promote innovation.
Several marquee investors like Kalaari Capital, Sequoia Capital will also be delivering their viewpoint on partnerships between corporates and startups.
Telangana IT electronics and communications secretary Jayesh Ranjan will also be attending the event to speak of the Telangana government’s role in promoting innovation
T-Hub and Anthill had previously also collaborated, along with YES Bank, to launch a business accelerator program, YES Fintech. The accelerator program, which received over 753 applicants from around the world, picked 12 startups for the fintech accelerator program.
Launched two weeks ago, the startups under YES Fintech will undergo a 15-week program between Hyderabad and Mumbai.
