T-Hub’s new Blueprint fellowship aims to fast-track deep tech startups into scalable businesses

T-Hub launches a 12-month Blueprint fellowship to help deep tech founders strengthen their business foundations and scale, reflecting Hyderabad’s emerging role as a hub for sector-specific innovation and public-private funding collaboration.

T-Hub has launched Blueprint, a 12-month fellowship designed to help deep tech founders turn early technical progress into scalable businesses, as the Hyderabad-based incubator broadens its role beyond workspace and networking towards more hands-on venture building. The programme is aimed at founders whose companies need stronger commercial, financial and operational foundations before they can raise larger rounds or sign enterprise customers.

According to T-Hub, the inaugural cohort includes 14 startups: Kritsnam, ArtusAI, Litemed, Zodhya, Arkle Energy, Sensehealth, Vahn, Buildwright, Sanyark Space, Semex AI, Pavakah Energy, Vecros, Portl and Storyvord. The incubator said support will be tailored to each company’s stage and sector, with help on fundraising preparation, investor meetings, legal and financial documentation, enterprise contracts and international exposure.

The launch took place alongside an event attended by Rajesh Kumar Pathak, secretary to the government of India’s Technology Development Board, which operates under the Department of Science and Technology. Pathak highlighted the ₹1 lakh crore Research, Development and Innovation Fund as a potential capital route for Indian deep tech companies, particularly those working on technologies with strategic and economic importance.

Blueprint also reflects a broader push by T-Hub to position Hyderabad as a stronger base for deep tech founders. The incubator has been stepping up sector-specific programmes in areas ranging from artificial intelligence and digital reality to semiconductors, space technology and health tech, including recent cohorts with Hexagon, UK-India emerging tech partners and Medtronic. That activity suggests T-Hub is increasingly acting as a sectoral bridge between startups, corporates and public funding channels rather than only a conventional incubator.
