What you'll see in the room.

Startup 1 · EdTech · Voice AI & KidsTech · Raising ₹2 Cr

A physical, voice-enabled smart companion and interactive AI toy for children aged 2 to 6, engaging them through personalised conversations, games and stories that support learning and emotional growth. Built as a screen-free alternative supporting 16+ Indian languages, the connected device pairs adaptive two-way voice learning with a dedicated parent app for safe, age-appropriate and controlled use. Content is developed with child psychologists and delivered over the air. The company has developed its board and hardware in-house, is bootstrapped to date, and has pre-bookings underway across Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Gurgaon. Raising ₹2 crore to scale production and commercialise a hybrid model of hardware sales plus recurring content subscriptions.

Startup 2 · Assistive Technology · Inclusive Design · Raising ₹1.2 Cr

An IIT Madras RTBI-incubated venture addressing functional hand limitations across 9 of the 21 recognised disability categories, an estimated 1.1 Cr individuals in India and 15 Cr globally. Its flagship product is an India-patented (PCT applied), battery-free, multifunctional mechanical hand device combining an adaptable master handle, wrist support and magnetic quick-swap attachments for feeding, brushing, writing and vocational tasks. Positioned as an affordable alternative to high-tech prosthetics, it requires no regulatory approval. 800+ user trials completed and 200+ kits sold organically across hospitals, rehabilitation centres, NGOs and defence institutions, with a Tamil Nadu government tender entered and GeM listing in process. Raising ₹1.2 crore to build the commercial team, scale distribution and advance R&D.
