Great initiative by MeitY. Partnering with Station F and HEC Paris gives our startups serious credibility. The three-month residency in Paris will be a game-changer for their global ambitions. Jai Hind!

While this is a good step, I hope the selection process was completely transparent. Sometimes these government programmes favor startups from certain hubs like Bangalore. Would love to see more diversity in the next cohort from other cities as well.

Working in the tech sector here, this is exactly the kind of boost our ecosystem needs. International exposure is crucial. Hope these startups secure funding and come back to create more jobs in India.

Proud moment! The names like Awiros and SkyServe sound promising. The real test will be if they can build sustainable businesses after the programme. All the best to all ten teams! 🤞

This aligns with our National AI Strategy perfectly. Knowledge exchange with European markets is smart. But I also hope we develop strong domestic markets for these AI solutions. Atmanirbhar Bharat should be the ultimate goal.
