Accelerator programmes are fixed-length, cohort-based programmes that help startups grow rapidly through mentorship, networks, resources and often some funding, ending in a demo day or graduation. They are competitive and time-bound.

In India, accelerators are run by government bodies, corporates, incubators and private programmes, frequently focused on specific sectors or stages. They suit startups with an MVP or early traction that are ready to grow fast.

This page lists open accelerator calls. Apply to programmes that match your sector and stage, watch cohort deadlines, and confirm the programme’s terms — including any equity or funding details — and eligibility on the official source.
