"Over the past few months, I have been approached by numerous passionate entrepreneurs with innovative and powerful ideas, but struggling to find the right support," Pittie stated in his announcement. "That got me thinking, what if I did not just invest, but built alongside them?"

The new AI Venture Studio will support startups in areas like healthcare, defence, transport, entertainment, logistics, agri-tech, fintech, and education. Instead of long application forms and pitch decks, Rikant Pittie is focusing on founders who show passion, clear thinking, and strong vision.

The studio follows a global model that offers not just funding but also hands-on support, expert advice, and shared resources. This gives startups a better chance to grow and succeed.

Pittie plans to select 10 high-potential startups that have big global goals and are solving real-world problems. The idea is to help founders who may not have access to traditional funding turn their ideas into successful businesses.

"This isn't about pitch decks and long applications," Pittie explained. "I am looking for 10 outstanding startups that are building with global ambition, and solving problems that truly matter."

This announcement comes as India’s startup ecosystem is seeing both growth and obstacles.

While the country has created many unicorns and continues to draw big investments, early-stage founders often struggle to find the right support, funding, and mentorship to grow their ideas.
