India, 19th August, 2025: India’s startup ecosystem is now the third largest in the world and home to over 1,76,000 registered startups[1]. Technology continues to be the driving force behind the country’s transformation into a global hub of innovation. Strengthening this momentum, Games24x7, today announced the third edition of its flagship accelerator program, TechXpedite.
The 90-day program is designed to support early-stage startups across three key areas — AI for Skills, Gaming & Sports, and Inclusive Technology. TechXpedite is tailored for early-stage startups that have progressed beyond the idea phase and are actively building, testing, or validating their product. The program is now accepting applications from startups, with the submission window open until September 19, 2025.
Speaking about the launch of TechXpedite 3.0, Mr. Bhavin Pandya, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Games24x7, said, “India’s innovation ecosystem is rich in exceptional entrepreneurial talent and remarkable ideas. Over the course of our engagement with startups through TechXpedite, we have seen first-hand the passion, problem-solving skills, and calibre of entrepreneurs tackling challenges across industries. With the right resources and guidance, these innovators can create lasting impact at scale, in tune with the evolving needs of India’s trillion dollar digital economy vision. We are proud to be part of the journey of these talented entrepreneurs, contributing to their growth through mentorship, training, and access to capital — and, in doing so, helping strengthen India’s vibrant technology startup ecosystem.”
Launched in 2023, the accelerator program has attracted strong interest from startups nationwide. The previous edition, TechXpedite 2.0 recorded over a 100% increase in applications, with entries pouring in from 24 states, reflecting the program’s broad reach and diversity. While 60% of applicants came from Tier 1 cities, there was a notable rise in participation from Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions — underscoring the growing democratization of innovation across the country.
Startups selected for TechXpedite gain access to a wide range of high-impact benefits designed to accelerate their growth. These include expert mentorship from industry leaders, curated masterclasses, and hands-on support to sharpen their business models and go-to-market strategies. Additionally, these startups will be able to access over $500,000 worth of technology credits to help them scale their business. Moreover, Games24x7 will extend strategic and capital support to the top three startups emerging from the TechXpedite 3.0 cohort, to help translate their innovations into scalable impact.
To build multi-regional participation and outreach, TechXpedite 3.0 will host city chapters across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Amaravati, providing on-ground engagement with local startup communities. The program will culminate in a Pitch Day in February 2026, where shortlisted startups will present their solutions before a panel of investors and domain experts.
