Microsoft announces two initiatives to support start-ups in India
Microsoft India on Wednesday announced two new initiatives in line with its efforts to help entrepreneurs and their organizations innovate and grow. Outlining the initiatives, it said Microsoft AI Innovate will introduce its subsequent cohort, while a hackathon for start-ups is aimed at providing resources and support to developers for creating digital solutions that enable business innovation, social entrepreneurship, and sustainability.

The organization has reinforced help for new businesses in India with the two new drives, as indicated by the organization’s proclamation. Microsoft AI Innovate’s second season is inviting nominations from SaaS (Software as a Service) start-ups whose core applications or services are built using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
 
Supported by ‘SaaS Insider’, the initiative is designed to help start-ups scale up operations, drive development, and built industry expertise. “Across the 10 weeks of the program, start-ups get to partner closely with Microsoft’s engineering and product teams to build their core AI models,” the statement said.
 
Besides, there are opportunities to work on relevant scenarios with Microsoft’s industry, research, and engineering experts and receive mentorship alongside future-proofing entire teams by getting skilled in technologies like AI and Machine Learning (ML). “Selected start-ups get OpenAI preview and credit, access to industry and technology dep dive sessions and AI masterclasses by experts, mentoring by start-up founders and renowned industry leaders, skilling and certification opportunities, among other benefits,” the organization informed.
