The accelerator, which was set up by the BSE Institute in partnership with Toronto’s Ryerson Futures Inc, recently secured Rs 3 crore in grant from National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board.
The fund will be used to expand the accelerator programme and introduce new programmes aimed at student and women entrepreneurs. Director of Zone Startups Ajay Ramasubramaniam said the programmes would be expanded to train 500-600 people over the next eight-ten months.
