EdTech Accelerator Edugild to set up two more centres in Pune

PUNE: EdTech accelerator Edugild will be setting up two more centres in Pune in July, as it aims to make the programme more accessible. Set up at the Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) campus in Pune, the two new centres will come up at the MIT Institute of Design and the MIT Academy of Engineering.

“This will be aimed at students of these institutes; the founder must be an alumni or current student. It will function as an inculator, both incubator and accelerator,” said Rishi Kapal, CEO, Edugild.

The startups hosted here would have access to the same resources and networks that those at Edugild have. He has evolved a six-pillar framework on which the startups are evaluated every six days, and the necessary course correction is done. These are resources, business, investment, UX/UI, marketing and research.

For Kapal, the main aim is to put Pune firmly on the EdTech startup map.
