FutureSites Innovation Program is a joint initiative by DPIIT Startup India and the CII Centre of Excellence for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Startups, in collaboration with a leading Oil and Gas corporate retail business unit. The program is designed to accelerate next-generation retail technology solutions by enabling startups to solve real-world operational challenges in live retail environments.
The program focuses on three strategic challenge areas including agentic store operations, modernized and observable store and head office infrastructure, and AI-enabled customer 360 personalization platforms. Selected startups get the opportunity to validate, pilot, and scale their solutions with an enterprise partner, enabling faster market access, business validation, and revenue pathways.
FutureSites is built for startups that are ready to scale and demonstrate measurable business impact, offering structured validation, CXO-level mentorship, and nationwide rollout opportunities without any application or participation fees.
