What the 18 Firms Selected for Oracle India’s Startup Cloud Accelerator Program Do

Multinational corporations’ working with startups has become essential for innovation. In a bid to beat the dilemma regarding innovation that established companies face, Oracle believes that they ‘can make magic’ especially when it comes to working with startups. Oracle says that they believe in ecosystems of co-development and co-innovation that enable innovation where startups, customers and Oracle themselves can benefit.

“We believe that by democratizing innovation, we open a whole new dialog where we have the vested interest of both the startup and the enterprise client. We also help startups scale their business by adopting and using Oracle Public Cloud across IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings,” says a blog by authored by Shaloo Garg, Customer Connect, Oracle Global Startup Ecosystem.

Hence, as part of their commitment to do the same, Oracle has announced a new batch of high potential startups for its Startup Cloud Accelerator program in India. This is the fourth consecutive batch in Bengaluru, where Oracle’s global startup program was first piloted successfully, and the second consecutive batch in Delhi and Mumbai.

Shortlisted from among several hundred applicants, these new startups are actively using modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), chatbots, big data and predictive analytics, and automation. The startups hail from diverse industry sectors spanning travel, hospitality, micro finance, marketing, employee benefits and rewards services, supply chain management, cyber security and power distribution.

Run by members of Oracle’s research and development team, the startup program provides mentoring from technical and business experts, state-of-the-art technology, a co-working space, access to Oracle customers, partners and investors, and free Oracle Cloud credits. It also offers an ever-expanding global network of startup peers, as well as a global alumni program.
