The top 20 startups selected as part of the Leap To Unicorn program bear testament to the ingenuity and skill of India's entrepreneurs
For the top 20 startups, chosen as part of Leap To Unicorn, a special initiative for early stage startup growth and funding by IDFC FIRST Bank, in association with Moneycontrol and CNBC-TV18, the selection process has been exhaustive and enriching. It began with a call for applications, which allowed about 500 of India’s best startups to take part in a month-long bootcamp. Specially curated sessions with industry leaders helped these startups hone their investment propositions further. Armed with new knowledge and insight, the startups submitted revised pitch decks along with pitch videos. A stringent evaluation process yielded the top 20 startups, who now stand on the cusp of a big breakthrough.
