Kotak BizLabs Accelerator Programme (IIMCIP cohort)

Run by Kotak Mahindra Bank.

The IIMCIP-hosted Kolkata cohort of Kotak Mahindra Bank's BizLabs CSR accelerator publishes phase dates rather than a single length: launch in October 2026, cohort announcement that November, and a demo day in August 2027. Eligible startups may receive grant support of up to INR 3,000,000, subject to due diligence and milestones, and the FAQ confirms the grant is not an equity investment. It covers agritech, fintech, edtech, healthtech, deeptech and climate, and is delivered in hybrid form.

Investment: ₹3,000,000 (Above South Asia median $24k · Below global median $61.3k)
Equity taken: 0% (Like 85% of South Asia · Like 79% globally)
Duration: Not disclosed
Format: hybrid
Cadence: annual
Location: Kolkata, India
