Participants for the final cohort of the program are selected after a rigorous selection process based on three key criteria viz. prospects for regional and global expansion, early-stage investment readiness, and potential of highly scalable products. This year, only fifty startups were selected amongst five hundred and sixty applicants across thirty countries to join the Cohort 3 of the program. As part of the program, all these start-ups gained access to world-class mentors, a monthly stipend, accommodation, workspaces and other benefits worth over $400,000.
