The AgriTech Acceleration Program 2026 is a structured startup acceleration initiative led by the IIM Lucknow Enterprise Incubation Centre (IIML EIC) in partnership with Aavishkaar Foundation and Arohan. The program is designed to support high-potential AgriTech startups building scalable technology solutions for the agriculture ecosystem in India. Through a combination of grant funding, mentorship, and market access support, the program aims to accelerate startups that can drive productivity, sustainability, and innovation in Indian agriculture.
Selected startups participate in a three-month structured acceleration journey focused on product validation, market access, and business scaling. Up to 15 startups will receive grant support of ₹1 lakh along with mentorship from industry experts, investor connections, and support in refining their go-to-market strategy. The program also provides opportunities for pilot deployments, corporate partnerships, and a Demo Day where startups can showcase their solutions to investors and ecosystem stakeholders to unlock future fundraising opportunities.
