- PRTF Startup Hub will hold Pitch to Raise 2026 in Greater Noida on November 14, 2026.
- Five chosen startups will pitch to Induckt Ventures, a SEBI-registered Category I fund.
- Induckt lists a Rs 400 Cr target fund. No investment is promised to applicants.
PRTF Startup Hub will hold a startup pitch event called Pitch to Raise 2026 in Greater Noida on November 14, 2026.
The top five startups will pitch live to Induckt Ventures, a SEBI-registered Category I fund. The hub said it will favour four sectors: artificial intelligence, biotech, quantum technologies and deep tech. Only five teams will make the stage.
Induckt’s own materials put the fund’s target at Rs 400 Cr. That is a target size, not money set aside for these startups. The organisers said it is not a guaranteed investment.
Induckt Vision Fund-I backs startups from seed to Series A. Its first cheque is usually Rs 8 Cr to Rs 12 Cr.
Induckt won its SEBI nod as a Category I fund. When it registered, Inc42 reported a Rs 320 Cr fund.
PRTF Startup Hub sits at the Pathfinder Research and Training Foundation in Greater Noida. Its campus incubator is recognised under the Uttar Pradesh IT and Startup Policy 2020. The hub runs a founder track and mentors student ventures.
How to apply to Pitch to Raise 2026
Screening is already underway. Pitch to Raise 2026 asks each founder for a one-minute video and a pitch deck.
The deck must cover the problem, the innovation, the market, the business model and the growth plan. The event runs at Knowledge Park III, Greater Noida.
What this means for you: If you run an early-stage AI, biotech, quantum or deep-tech startup in India, this is a direct line to a SEBI-registered fund. Send your one-minute video and deck before screening closes, and treat the pitch as practice, not a promised cheque.
