About JioGenNext

Since it was founded in 2013, JioGenNext, the startup accelerator backed by Reliance Industries, has been a strong catalyst in empowering India’s startup ecosystem. JioGenNext advises and mentors founders for launching their startup in the Jio ecosystem and also supports them through strategic Investments and commercial partnerships.

So far, the startup accelerator has accelerated 136 startups in 11 batches covering verticals as diverse as Healthcare, Education, Fintech, Retail & Logistics, Travel, Gaming, Media, Original content, Adtech, Agriculture, E-Commerce, Learning and Development, Cyber Security, Enterprise IT, and Telecom. Infact, companies like Headspin and LogiNext who were in the programme have collectively raised almost $100 mn in 2020 alone.

“We were fortunate to get into the programme in 2016. It was during the early days of FlytBase, and we were still trying to identify the initial product-market fit. There were several learnings from the programme, one of which resulted in the creation of a strong inbound channel over the last 3+ years, thereby helping us maintain a good conversion ratio and a low CAC, while continuing to attract global customers for our world-class products. That apart, we also learnt about the investor mindset, when to raise capital, whom to raise it from, and how to pitch,”

- Nitin Gupta, Co-Founder, FlytBase

“We have actually grown from Zero end-users to one million monthly active users on Jio Saarthi, digital assistant in MyJio app primarily because of JioGenNext. And, onboarding Reliance Jio as our first enterprise client proved to be a huge validation. It helped to answer the questions regarding our ability to answer scale in the enterprise market.”

- Kushagra Sinha, Co-Founder, Jiny

“Often, the founders are running their race with blinders; and we then need an external mentor or a well-wisher, who is the change agent to take off our blinders and give us some fresh perspective. The JioGenNext program did just that for us. We now clearly see opportunities to make Rapidor truly a leading B2B transaction platform.  The fresh perspectives from the curated sessions clubbed with strong market connects; has played a key role in helping us re-strategise, and reposition our product. I immensely value the opportunity we continue to have, to collaborate not just with Jio, but also with the other startup founders in the program.”

- Thomson Skariah, Co-founder at Rapidor

JioGenNext Basecamp Demo Day May 2020

Demo Day provides promising startups a platform to showcase their potential to key stakeholders - investors, customers, i-bankers and GTM partners. Over the years, several successful startups have emerged through Demo Day progressing rapidly in growth and sustainability.

Demo Day May 2020 marks the launch of yet another batch of high-potential startups that have been hand-selected and nurtured by JioGenNext. However, while the Demo Days so far have been in-person events, where startups pitched to a room packed with VCs, investors, leaders from Reliance ecosystem and other industry leaders, Demo Day 2020 is going online. The pitches that are traditionally delivered by the startup live on stage for Demo Day will be pitched live in real-time to all stakeholders online.

We are also opening up the Demo Day. By registering, you will get to watch startups that are building impactful companies and their pitches to the investor community.

By taking the Demo Day online, JioGenNext continues to strive in its commitment to strengthen the startup ecosystem and nurture the growth of innovative businesses.
