Expert Dojo, a Southern California-based international venture capital firm, has launched a new accelerator cohort exclusively for Indian startups.
The firm has pledged to invest $100,000 each in more than 10 early-stage Indian ventures in the current fiscal year.
The accelerator program, which is currently accepting applications, targets scalable and technology-driven startups.
While broadly sector-agnostic, the cohort will focus on ventures in AI, electric vehicles, fintech, and B2B sectors, the company announced in a statement.
In addition to funding, selected startups will benefit from Expert Dojo’s global investor network, one-on-one mentorship, and growth support.
The program emphasises refining go-to-market strategies and accelerating the path to Series A funding.
This initiative follows Expert Dojo’s earlier launch of a $15 million India-dedicated fund, aimed at backing 20–25 startups by FY 2026.
The firm’s increased activity in India underlines its confidence in the country’s innovation ecosystem.
“India is not just a market for us, it’s a priority,” said Ashutosh Kumar, General Partner at Expert Dojo. “We see a powerful wave of innovation emerging from tier-1 cities to remote corners of the country, led by founders who understand real problems on the ground.”
Kumar added that the $15 million fund represents more than a financial commitment; it signals strong faith in Indian entrepreneurship and its global potential.
Founded in 2018, Expert Dojo has invested in nearly 300 startups worldwide and currently manages assets worth $70 million.
The India accelerator marks a strategic step in the firm’s plan to support promising ventures in one of the world’s fastest-growing startup ecosystems.
