Nexus is delighted to announce the graduation of its 19th Cohort, with 15 startups hailing from 8 states across India. Remarkably, nearly 47% of these graduating startups are led by women founders.

The graduation ceremony was chaired by Carly Van Orman, Foreign Service Officer at the U.S. State Department. At the ceremony, Carly highlighted the impact of the Nexus program and emphasized the importance of continued collaboration even after the program’s conclusion.

The announcement of the winner of the prestigious Nexus Startup Development Grant was also revealed at the ceremony. The $10,000 grant was given to Thales Cleantech.
