India’s efforts to build a globally competitive artificial intelligence ecosystem have received a fresh boost with the selection of 10 emerging startups for the second cohort of the IndiaAI Startups Global Acceleration Programme. The initiative is led by the IndiaAI Mission under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), in collaboration with Paris-based startup campus Station F and leading French business school HEC Paris.

The programme is part of India’s broader push under its National AI Strategy to accelerate innovation, deepen cross-border collaboration, and enable domestic startups to scale in global markets. Each cohort brings together 10 selected AI startups working across high-impact domains such as healthcare, climate technology, education, manufacturing intelligence, cognitive AI, and space-tech applications.

During the residency, founders will gain access to mentorship, investor networks, and business development opportunities across the European innovation ecosystem. The programme has been designed by HEC Paris to help startups refine their business models, strengthen market readiness, and prepare for international expansion.
