i-Hub Gujarat, in partnership with SanchiConnect, has announced the launch of TattvaX Cohort 2, its flagship accelerator programme aimed at fostering innovation across sectors. Building on the success of its first cohort, the new edition adopts a broader approach, inviting startups from diverse industries while offering focused support for ventures in space, defence, drones, and emerging technologies.
Applications for the 90-day programme opened on April 15, 2026. TattvaX Cohort 2 is designed to help startups accelerate growth, validate solutions, and unlock new market opportunities through structured mentorship and ecosystem access.
The accelerator combines expert-led mentoring, cohort-based learning, hands-on workshops, and pilot opportunities. A key highlight is its strong emphasis on Proof of Concept (PoC) and real-world validation, enabling startups to collaborate with industry stakeholders and test their solutions in live environments.
Hiranmay Mahanta, CEO, i-Hub Gujarat, said, “TattvaX Cohort 2 is designed to strengthen India’s deeptech ecosystem by enabling startups to access critical resources, validation platforms, and strategic networks. Our focus on high-impact sectors like space, defence, and emerging technologies reflects the need to build innovation capabilities for the future.”
Selected startups will also gain access to one-on-one mentorship from industry leaders and venture capital partners, alongside workshops on go-to-market strategy, regulatory readiness, and scaling.
Jay Joshi, Program Head, i-Hub Gujarat, added, “Through this accelerator, we aim to equip startups with the right mix of mentorship, pilot opportunities, and investor access to accelerate market readiness. Our continued collaboration with SanchiConnect reflects a shared vision of driving innovation across both emerging and established sectors.”
The programme will culminate in a Demo Day, providing startups with an opportunity to showcase their solutions to investors, corporates, and media, unlocking pathways to funding and strategic partnerships.
Through TattvaX Cohort 2, i-Hub Gujarat and SanchiConnect aim to address key startup challenges while strengthening India’s innovation ecosystem.
