Orientation Week is officially complete for Batch 2 of the GIFT IFIH Residential Program. Over the past three days, 29 founders from 15 startups came together in GIFT City to begin the next chapter of their startup journey. The week brought together every part of the ecosystem—from meeting fellow founders and the hashtag #GIFTIFIH team, to hearing directly from IFSCA Official on India's international financial centre and the opportunities it presents for fintech startups; exploring GIFT City, its world-class infrastructure, and thriving fintech ecosystem that powers innovation; and connecting with mentors, ecosystem partners, and fellow entrepreneurs. Orientation Week concluded with mentor sessions and a networking mixer, giving founders the opportunity to build relationships that will continue throughout the program and beyond. This is only the beginning, and we're excited to see what this cohort builds over the coming months. Welcome once again to Batch 2.

GIFT ifih helped turn a sustainability idea into a paying contract. Shatrughan, Batch 1 alumnus of the Residential Program, closed a $250K pre seed round and an $18K paid pilot before most startups find their first customer. That's what building inside the right ecosystem does. The Young Builders' Program gives young founders that same access early. Applications close 16th August.
