Srijan Launchpad is a Gujarat-focused ICT and Deep Tech accelerator run by SACC India (Startup Accelerator Chamber of Commerce), a Punjab-headquartered nonprofit founded in 2014 that has supported 1,000+ startups and SMEs and facilitated over ₹50 crore in external funding across its portfolio of separate, state-specific entrepreneurship programmes across India. Based at GIFT City, Gandhinagar, Srijan Launchpad takes early-stage founders with at least a prototype or MVP through a structured, roughly five-month journey: an open call for applications, screening and selection, a capacity-building and acceleration phase, and a final stage of investment readiness and investor engagement. Its current Cohort 1 (2026) spans ten startups working in SpaceTech, AI-driven computer vision, semiconductors, cybersecurity, health-tech, agri-tech, and enterprise software. Beyond Srijan, SACC India runs several other named initiatives under its own brand, largely concentrated in Haryana and Punjab: Pragati (a seed-grant programme), Ideakriti (a 7-day idea-to-launch sprint), Saksham (a national assistive-technology accelerator), Startup Weekend and Startup Stars (short-format startup events), Eco Pravah (climate-tech), Fund Setu (investment-readiness training), and Udyam Shakti (women’s entrepreneurship and skilling).
