The Karnataka Government in an effort to boost the startup ecosystem has launched the “Elevate Program” to identify 100 of the most innovative startups in Karnataka, to elevate to them to next level of success.

The program will spend Rs. 400 crore to ‘elevate’ the selected startups by providing them funds and mentors to help them turn their ideas into successful businesses. Karnataka’s IT and BT Minister, Priyank Kharge unveiled the program along with the official website and logo for the flagship initiative on Wednesday.

The scheme is the brainchild of the startup cell, Karnataka Biotechnology and Information Technology Services (KBITS) and will help identify startups working in the field of IT, Electronic System Design Manufacturing, Animation Visual Gaming & Comics, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Agriculture, and Life Sciences.

Startups under this program will also be provided with access to idea validation, incubation facilities and in depth sessions for startups on accounting, legal and emerging technologies.

Speaking at the launch, the IT Minister said through Elevate they will provide startups with technical and business support based on their need along with funding. Till date, the startup cell has identified 46 startups and sanctioned ₹ 15.68 crores in the field of biotech, tourism and IT.

Startups from Mangaluru, Kalaburgi, Mysuru and Hubli will get the opportunity to pitch their ideas to the Elevate team in open houses that will be held by the State Government. Registration began on 4 July 2017 and will be open until 18 July 2017, for all participants across Karnataka.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said Elevate is one of the highlights of the work that we are doing to boost trade and business in Karnataka and the Government is happy to be inaugurating the program.

According to the IT Minister, venture capitalists have also been brought on board to help curate and fund startups, although at the initial stages the government will fund the startups to bring them to a point where it is investible for the VCs.

This program has been launched in partnership with the Deshpande Foundation, The Indus Entrepreneurs and others to empower startups and scale operations. The Government of Karnataka has taken tremendous steps to encourage the startup ecosystem. They announced a $ 1.4 million fund for women entrepreneurs in March this year. IT Minister Priyank Kharge has also allocated a $ 1.65 million fund for agritech startups in May and later announced a fund of $ 1.65 million for 26 selected startups in the biotechnology sector.

Zepto Delays IPO to Focus on Profitability and Indian Ownership

Published

on

Zepto - StartupStories

Overview

Zepto, a leading quick commerce startup, has postponed its planned IPO to early 2026, shifting its focus to achieving profitability and increasing Indian shareholding before going public.

Key Reasons for Delay

  • Profitability Focus: Zepto aims to reach EBITDA break-even before listing, unlike many tech firms that went public while still loss-making.
  • Market Uncertainty: Ongoing global and domestic market volatility influenced the decision to wait for more stable conditions.
  • Peer Comparison: The company wants to present a stronger profit profile, learning from the performance of rivals like Swiggy and Zomato (now Eternal).

Boosting Domestic Shareholding

  • Target: Zepto plans to raise Indian ownership to at least 51% to comply with FDI norms and reinforce its Indian identity.
  • Actions: The company is conducting secondary share sales to Indian investors and founders are increasing their stakes by buying from foreign investors.
  • Progress: Domestic ownership has reached about 40-44%, with expectations to surpass 51% before the IPO.

Financial and Operational Updates

  • Efficiency Drive: Zepto is optimizing operations, running over 900 dark stores and offering 48,000 SKUs, to reduce cash burn and move toward profitability.
  • Challenges: The company faces stiff competition from Swiggy Instamart and Blinkit, leading to higher costs, and has dealt with operational pauses and regulatory scrutiny in some regions.

Outlook

Zepto remains positive about its future, aiming to raise around $800 million in its IPO and attract both domestic and international investors. CEO Aadit Palicha emphasizes building a sustainable, majority Indian-owned business before entering the public market.

Summary: Zepto’s IPO delay reflects a strategic focus on financial stability and regulatory compliance, with profitability and Indian ownership at the forefront.

Polygon StartupStories

Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, has been appointed as the first CEO of the Polygon Foundation, marking a shift from decentralized governance to focused leadership. This change aims to provide clear direction and accelerate Polygon’s growth in the competitive blockchain space.

Under Nailwal’s leadership, Polygon will discontinue its zkEVM network in 2026 to concentrate on the Polygon PoS chain and AggLayer, a new cross-chain liquidity protocol. Significant upgrades to the Polygon PoS chain are planned, starting with the Bhilai upgrade in July 2025, to enhance transaction capacity and support large-scale financial applications.

Polygon enters this new phase with a strong financial position, enabling long-term development without fundraising pressures. While Nailwal leads the Foundation, Marc Boiron continues as CEO of Polygon Labs. This leadership restructuring aims to drive innovation and reinforce Polygon’s position in Ethereum scaling and the Web3 ecosystem.

Wow! Momo Raises ₹85 Crore from Stride Ventures to Accelerate Nationwide Expansion

WoW Momo StartupStories

Wow! Momo, the Kolkata-based quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain, has secured ₹85 crore (approximately $9.9 million) in debt funding from Stride Ventures, aiming to accelerate its omnichannel expansion and strengthen its presence across India. The company, which operates over 700 outlets in more than 70 cities, plans to utilize the funds to open additional dine-in restaurants, expand its packaged food (FMCG) vertical, and enhance its delivery and supply chain operations. This strategic move will also help refinance existing loans and fuel Wow! Momo’s push into new markets and product categories.

Founded in 2008, Wow! Momo has rapidly diversified its offerings, launching brands such as Wow! China, Wow! Chicken, and Wow! Kulfi, and recently entering the frozen foods segment with quick commerce and retail distribution. The company is targeting a footprint of over 1,500 stores across more than 100 cities within the next three years and aims to grow its FMCG business to ₹100 crore while ramping up its HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering) segment. The leadership team views this debt infusion as pivotal for scaling new formats, driving innovation, and building brands that resonate with Indian consumers.

Stride Ventures, known for backing high-growth startups, emphasized Wow! Momo’s strong brand recall, robust business model, and relentless innovation as key reasons for their investment. With this funding, Wow! Momo is well-positioned to further solidify its status as a category-defining player in India’s QSR and FMCG sectors, while preparing for larger equity rounds and a potential IPO in the coming years.
