The program offers a structured regimen of expert-led workshops, one-on-one mentorship, and targeted investor engagement.

Selected founders will begin with a two-day, in-person launch event featuring hands-on sessions in embedded systems, FPGA prototyping, edge AI, and cybersecurity co-design. Thereafter, each startup will receive tailored mentorship and attend sector‑specific masterclasses covering go‑to‑market strategy, regulatory readiness, and scaling B2B solutions. The program culminates in a Demo Day where startups pitch to leading investors, corporates, and the media.

“TattvaX embodies our belief that the essence of innovation lies in bringing AI and hardware together. By uniting high‑potential startups with industry experts and pilot opportunities, we aim to convert prototypes into scalable B2B solutions that drive real‑world impact,” said Dr Sunil K. Shekhawat, Founder & CEO, SanchiConnect.
