Google announced the 2026 cohort of its Google for Startups Accelerator: India, selecting 20 AI-first startups from about 2,500 applications. The cohort spans climate, healthcare, developer workflows and finance. Named companies include Adalat AI, Aikenist and Aurassure.
Corporate accelerators give early-stage founders cloud credits, mentoring and access to customers, in exchange for closer ties to the sponsor's platform. For Google, India is a priority market for AI developers.
