Google on Tuesday announced the second edition of its 'Startups
Accelerator: Women Founders' to enable women entrepreneurs in India who
are using technology to solve complex problems and are making a positive
impact on society. The three-month programme includes
mentorship, workshops, access to resources and networks for startups
from across all sectors, including but not limited to healthcare,
education, finance, and e-commerce.
"The programme includes
specific modules to support women entrepreneurs in areas such as seeking
mentorship and advice, hiring talent and tapping networks for help,
with the intention of building confidence where cultural conditioning
can sometimes create self-doubt," said Paul Ravindranath G, Programme
Manager, Google for Startups Accelerator, India.
Applications for the second edition of the programme are open until June 4.
Additionally,
selected participants will receive support from experts and mentors
both from Google and external networks in areas such as technology,
product strategy, people, growth and fundraising.
The programme also includes access to Google's global network of mentors, investors and industry leaders.
The
first cohort that recently graduated, included startups working on a
range of innovative solutions, such as AI-powered diagnostic tools for
healthcare, an app for menstrual hygiene management, a platform for
rural artisans to sell their products online and many more.
"The
programme is a great opportunity for women entrepreneurs to receive
support and guidance as they navigate the challenges of scaling their
startups," said Ravindranath.
