IIT Bombay to host ATMAN 3.O, an 8-week accelerator to turn health-tech startups into investment-ready ventures

IIT Bombay’s Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) for Translational Research on IoT and IoE will host ATMAN 3.0, an eight-week accelerator designed to transform early-stage health-tech ventures into investment-ready businesses.

The initiative will culminate in a Demo Day on January 9, where participating startups will pitch before investors, industry leaders, and members of the investment committee. Each winning participant will be awarded funding support of ₹1 crore or more, based on startup evaluation.

TIH has chosen a cohort of 13 startups - ventures addressing critical challenges across medical devices, digital health, assistive care, and clinical monitoring – from a competitive pool of 173 startups.

“ATMAN 3.0 is designed to accelerate India’s HealthTech innovators from research to real-world impact. These entrepreneurs are addressing critical challenges that affect millions - ranging from access to diagnostics and rehabilitation to emergency response and chronic care. Our role is to provide structured mentorship, regulatory guidance, and investor access, enabling their technologies to scale responsibly. By creating a clear pipeline from prototype to commercialization, TIH IIT Bombay aims to strengthen India’s innovation ecosystem and position IIT Bombay as a leading hub for next-generation healthcare technologies”, Kiran Shesh, CEO, Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) at IIT Bombay, said.
