The WISE Tech India Pitchathon is a national platform that gives early-stage start-ups visibility, validation, and a pathway to the WISE Tech Accelerator. Anchored by the Sunil Bhatia Startup Hub (SBSH) of S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) under the leadership of alumnus and global business leader Sunil Bhatia, the Pitchathon reflects his vision of fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsible technology.
In its multi-city format, start-ups pitch their ideas, receive expert feedback, build connections, and gain recognition in collaboration with incubators, accelerators, government missions, and other ecosystem partners.
The Grand Finale marks the culmination of this year-long journey across India, where top start-ups from regional editions take the national stage. It brings together investors, corporate leaders, incubator heads, CSR leaders, and ecosystem partners—all keen to discover, support, and collaborate with high-potential founders.
This is where the most promising start-ups pitch, connect, and grow—gaining recognition, visibility, and opportunities that extend far beyond the day itself.
