Hyderabad, Aug 13: T-Hub, the world’s largest home for startups, has launched Blueprint, a 12-month founder fellowship to co-build with ambitious startups from early traction to scale. The programme builds on T-Hub’s efforts to strengthen Hyderabad as a base for deep tech founders and deepen its role as a co-builder for startups. The launch was part of HYD – Deep Tech: Next, a founder-first day that brought them into direct conversations with the Technology Development Board of the Department of Science and Technology , Government of India.
At its core, Blueprint is a structured programme where T-Hub will work with deep tech founders as their generalist CXO, building the operating and commercial foundations that technical founders need to unlock their next phase of growth, tailored to their stage and sector. The first startup cohort includes Kritsnam, ArtusAI, Litemed, Zodhya, Arkle Energy, Sensehealth, Vahn, Buildwright, Sanyark Space, Semex AI, Pavakah Energy, Vecros, Portl, and Storyvord.
Through Blueprint, founders will get a clear operating plan for the next 12 months. It prepares them for their next raise with investors with a VC-ready pitch and a complete data room covering financials, ownership structure, legal documents and business traction. T-Hub will take that readiness into the market through investor interactions, enterprise contracts and international exposure. Founders also get 1:1 mentorship with technical operators and access to talent pipelines and market-worthy IP.
Commenting on the development, Kavikrut, CEO, T-Hub, said:
“India has the founders and technical depth to build deep tech for the world. A founder today can build from anywhere, so a hub must do more than provide a place to work. At T-Hub, we believe that means co-building with them and Blueprint puts this into practice. These 14 startups will define the next generation of deep tech companies from India, and we want to build alongside them as they scale.”
Additionally, Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, addressed startups on India’s ₹1 Lakh Crore Research, Development and Innovation Fund, touching upon eligibility, funding instruments, and the process to access the Fund. He added,
“The RDI Fund is a crucial capital pathway for Indian startups developing deep tech with significant economic and strategic potential. T-Hub provides a direct platform to take this opportunity to Indian founders and help them understand what it takes to access the Fund.”
Today, T-Hub is home to engagement with 3,300+ founders and 250+ partner investors, including VCs and angels. It remains committed to co-building with founders and creating the pathways to capital, customers and markets they need to scale from Hyderabad and India to the world.
