On May 23, 2012 Microsoft announced its first Accelerator Programme in India, the first of its kind initiative by technology company in India to boost the start-up eco system. The programme received more than 200 applications and after several stringent screening rounds, 11 start-ups have been chosen.

These 11 are now gearing up for the most exciting phase of their journey, one that will help define who they are and deal with the business lifecycle from ideation to growth and scalability with the help of a panel of 60 mentors. For these 11, this will be their address for the next four months. Here they will get the opportunity to cross collaborate, interact with the industry mentors and connect with leading venture capitalists.
