Early-stage venture capital firm Titan Capital, founded by Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, has introduced the ‘Future Indicorns’ programme with an aim to discover and support artificial intelligence startups tackling large-scale challenges across India.
The programme will focus on startups developing AI-driven solutions in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, real estate, governance, and data infrastructure.
Titan Capital is inviting applications from founders working across 10 key themes, including AI for energy and data centre management, AI-native SMB marketplaces, GovTech, healthcare services, manufacturing, and research related to Indian diseases and genomics.
Additional areas of interest include AI applications for real estate, physical-world data collection, sales enablement, and data sovereignty. The firm said the initiative is designed to encourage startups creating AI products tailored to India’s unique needs rather than replicating existing global solutions.
The launch builds on Titan Capital’s earlier ‘Indicorns’ initiative, introduced in September 2024 to spotlight profitable Indian startups generating over Rs 100 crore in annual revenue while scaling with limited dependence on external capital.
Applications for the Future Indicorns programme will be accepted until June 15, 2026.
