In an effort to enable the startup ecosystem in Tier 2 cities across the country, Microsoft’s ‘Highway to a Hundred Unicorns’ project has picked up 54 startups from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Kerala, and Telangana. The top tech startups selected through ‘Emerge-X’ win Azure credits and a bunch of business and other tech benefits. The competition has received over 530 applications and the top three startups from each state gain access to a year-long mentorship program and a two-day founder Bootcamp.

The Microsoft for Startups initiative works closely with local governments to strengthen the startup ecosystem in each state. The fifth edition of the outreach program was hosted at Hyderabad in association with the Government of Telangana. More than 150 innovators and entrepreneurs engaged with Microsoft experts, industry stalwarts and ecosystem stakeholders, including members of the state government.
