May 22, 2026
The Navi Mumbai edition marked the twelfth stop of the WISE Tech India Pitchathon 2026, organised by SPJIMR WISE Tech in collaboration with the Centre for Incubation and Business Acceleration (CIBA).
As a sector-agnostic edition, the event brought together early-stage start-ups building practical, high-impact solutions across diverse sectors. The founders presented scalable and market-ready offerings aimed at addressing real-world challenges, highlighting the continued momentum of purpose-driven entrepreneurship in India.
The edition saw participation from start-ups with clear problem understanding, focused execution, and strong potential for long-term relevance. It also served as a platform for founders to receive constructive inputs from the jury on their business models, market positioning, and growth plans.
The jury panel, comprising Manoj Mohan, Prasad Menon, Rachna Rangarajan, and Sumesh Nair, evaluated the start-ups on key parameters such as problem clarity, founder capability, and scalability potential. Beyond the evaluation, the jury offered practical feedback to help founders sharpen their narratives, refine their go-to-market approach, and strengthen their next steps.
The jury recognised the following start-ups:
1st Prize
Nuviatech Devices Pvt Ltd
2nd Prize
Tusk Oral Care
3rd Prize

The Navi Mumbai edition reflected the shared commitment of SPJIMR WISE Tech and the Centre for Incubation and Business Acceleration (CIBA) to supporting promising founders, enabling meaningful innovation, and contributing to India’s growing start-up ecosystem.
