StartupLive Mumbai '26

A 48-hour build-and-pitch weekend on the IIT Bombay campus, run by the international StartupLive pre-acceleration programme. Day 1 is for pitching an idea in 90 seconds, forming a team of founders, designers and engineers, and sprinting through business-model and prototype workshops; Day 2 culminates in a 3-minute final pitch to a panel of VCs, angels and corporate operators. Capped at 200 participants and free to join, with roles for "Startup" (idea owners), "Innovator" (joiners) and "Visitor". Worth the weekend if you want to test an idea end-to-end with strangers, meet a co-founder, or just see what shows up on Mumbai's richest campus for founders in one room.
