T-Hub has launched Flashpoint, a venture studio that co-builds companies with founders in partnership with industry leaders. Through the programme, T-Hub and its partners define a problem and select founders to build a startup around it, with founders retaining full ownership and no equity dilution. Applications are now open for the studio’s first two tracks: agri-tech and space-tech.
Founders in the agri-tech track will join Kheyti, an Earthshot Prize-winning agri-tech company, as Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, receiving a ₹1 lakh monthly stipend, sponsored pilots and direct access to 8,000 greenhouse farmers from week one. In the space-tech track, Dhruva Space will give founders access to its end-to-end space engineering infrastructure, including cleanrooms, thermal-vacuum and vibration testing facilities and ground stations.
Flashpoint builds on T-Hub’s earlier Blueprint fellowship, a 12-month programme for deep-tech startups moving from early traction to scale, extending the same co-building model to the very start of a founder’s journey. T-Hub has supported over 3,300 startups to date and partners with more than 250 investors and funds worldwide.
“Flashpoint offers founders something genuinely valuable an industry-validated problem to solve, an experienced operator to build it with and access to resources and network of T-Hub,” said Kavikrut, CEO, T-Hub.
