In a landmark move for India's technology sector, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) today announced the selection of 10 cutting-edge Indian AI startups for the IndiaAI Startups Global (ISG) Initiative, a prestigious international acceleration programme in Paris.
The initiative, part of the IndiaAI Mission, is being conducted in partnership with Station F—the world’s largest startup campus—and HEC Paris, one of Europe’s top business schools. The four-month programme aims to help these startups scale globally, gain market access, and foster cross-border collaborations.

9) NeuroPixel.AI: Fast image editing for e-commerce
10) Voicing AI: Intelligent voice agents for enterprise automation
The programme features a one-month virtual onboarding followed by a three-month immersive residency at Station F in Paris. During this period, the startups will receive mentorship, access to European investors, and networking opportunities with leading industry players.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw described the initiative as a "transformative step in innovation diplomacy," highlighting India's commitment to shaping global AI standards and exporting homegrown innovation. MeitY Secretary S Krishnan called the programme "a global bridge for Indian innovation," underscoring its role in positioning India as a leader in responsible, inclusive, and scalable AI solutions.
With this cohort, India is not just exporting talent but is poised to make a mark on the global AI stage through world-class startups.
