The 20 firms that have been chosen for Google India’s accelerator programme for women-led entrepreneurs have been named. The initiative was first announced in June.
Out of nearly 400 submissions, these startups were chosen.
The programme has been specifically created for female founders, with a focus on networking opportunities, capital access, recruiting issues, mentorship, and other areas that have historically been challenging for women to access owing to cultural biases and a lack of representation.
The program’s curriculum will also feature workshops on topics including AI/ML, cloud computing, user experience, Android, web development, and product strategy and growth.
