Deadline: 18 November 2026. BE Hub has opened applications for Udaan, its first startup accelerator cohort, and founders in deep-tech and technology-led sectors have until 18 November 2026 to apply. The cohort is scheduled to begin on 23 November 2026 and will run for 12 weeks.

What the programme offers

BE Hub Udaan is a free accelerator: participation costs nothing, and the cohort will take just 5-6 startups. The programme promises mentorship, business-building guidance, ecosystem connections and opportunities to access capital, with support to validate businesses and execute. A select number of startups may also be considered for seed investment, subject to evaluation, due diligence, approvals and mutually agreed terms. Participation in the accelerator does not guarantee investment.

BE Hub is an entrepreneurship initiative from the founders of Saturo Technologies, built around the philosophy "We Build Entrepreneurs". Its founder, Deepak Singh, says entrepreneurs need more than ideas and advice: they need the right ecosystem, experienced people, opportunities to validate their businesses and support to execute.

Eligibility

Udaan welcomes applications from startups across deep-tech and broader technology-led sectors, including semiconductors, electronics, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, SaaS, enterprise technology and automation. If your startup is building technology in one of these areas and can commit to a 12-week cohort starting 23 November 2026, you fit the announced brief.

How to apply

Apply through the official BE Hub website before the 18 November 2026 deadline. The application form is hosted at forms.cloud.microsoft/r/T5Zj7xba4g, as listed in the programme announcement. Apply early: with only 5-6 places, a small cohort means selection will be competitive, and a rushed last-day application rarely shows your business at its best.

Why it matters for founders

Small, free, sector-focused cohorts are often more useful than large generic ones: you get closer mentor attention and a peer group working on similarly hard technology. If you are in semiconductors, AI, SaaS or automation, Udaan is a low-cost shot at structured support, and the possible seed-investment conversation that follows, before the 18 November 2026 deadline.
