The program was officially launched virtually in the presence of Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, IT & Industries, Telangana, Dr Chintan Vaishnav, Mission Director of AIM, Ravi Narayan, CEO of T-Hub and Chief Innovation Officer of Telangana, and Sashi Reddi, Founder & Managing Partner of SRI Capital.

Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, IT & Industries, Telangana, said, “Telangana has been at the forefront of promoting the usage and development of new-age technologies. The state acknowledges the significant contribution T-Hub has made to the creation of a thriving innovation ecosystem. With T-Hub’s partnership with Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), we are further advancing and supporting cutting-edge technology in the healthcare and life science sectors. A key goal of the program is to provide access to elite resources and experts to startups. This will immensely help the founders with assistance in refining their business plans, market insights, and commercialization strategies.”

Ravi Narayan, CEO of T-Hub, said, “The future of healthcare is largely dependent on technological innovation to ensure superior accuracy in diagnosis and treatment. To achieve exactly that drive for innovation, we have partnered work with Atal Innovation Mission for the T-Hub AIC program. The program is tailor-made to benefit HealthTech startups at an early stage and help them get a direction to commercialize their products by making it market-ready at the global level.”

10 deep tech startups have been handpicked after an extensive screening process by T-Hub, AIM and external industry experts. The startups were selected based on their cutting-edge DeepTech innovation for healthcare and life sciences, go-to market readiness, scalability, team composition, etc. The program is focused on providing startups with world-class experts and resources to sharpen their understanding of markets, refine their business and product commercialization plans.

Sashi Reddi, Founder & Managing Partner of SRI Capital said, “Covid has shown us the significant shortcomings of our current healthcare system. While some of these challenges can be addressed with more government funding, many of these challenges can only be addressed with innovation. Organizations like T-Hub with its AIC program are a key catalyst to work with founders and startups to help them leverage their innovation to bring high-quality healthcare to every corner of India.”

With a goal-oriented approach, T-Hub and AIM are working with the startups to identify their next inflection point that changes the trajectory of the startup. We are proud to have industry experts and active angel investors Dr. Vinayendra Tulla, Executive Director – Aditya Hospitals, and Mr. Venkat Raju, serial entrepreneur from the valley as Super Mentors guiding the startups of the cohort to reach their potential. Startup progress will be evaluated throughout the program against the identified inflection point while enabling the startup to achieve the inflection point. Three months of structured interventions have been initiated virtually which will be followed by three months of post-program support from the ecosystem, to achieve this goal. The interventions include a rich curriculum of online activities like workshop and speaker series by subject matter experts, along with one-on-one mentorship sessions from successful entrepreneurs and industry veterans.
