Last year in November, with a view to build an ecosystem for startups, social networking giant Facebook expanded its scope of operations in India by announcing India Innovation Hub, an exclusive 6-month Accelerator programme, for which Facebook will shortlist 10 Virtual Reality (VR) based startups in India. The accelerator was launched in association with T-Hub, one of India’s biggest accelerators in India.
Today, T-Hub along with Facebook has announced the first batch of winning startups selected for their joint program “India Innovation Hub", which aims to help startups focused on using emerging technologies by providing support and mentorship to accelerate their businesses in new and innovative ways.
A cohort of nine startups focused on Virtual Reality have been selected and each startup will get access to training, mentors, workshops, research, and Facebook’s VR Innovation lab located at T-Hub as a part of the three-month accelerator program. Further, the qualified startups will be directly accepted for the FbStart program.
