Ten start-ups will be chosen and shortlisted for their cutting-edge and innovative solutions. These firms will be offered an opportunity to participate in the 13-week-long Startupbootcamp FinTech accelerator program in London or Singapore.

It is great to bring a new initiative to India and host the Startupbootcamp Pitch Days in Mumbai and Bangalore. India has a rich history of promising start-ups and we believe that programs like this will benefit the thriving technology start-up community in India and help to showcase the country’s tremendous enterprise to the global investing community.”
Markus Gnirck, Co-Founder & Global COO, Startupbootcamp FinTech, said, “Being a part of our Pitch Days means that start-ups are on the Startupbootcamp FinTech watch-list for life, giving them a greater chance of being selected for one of our global programs.
