PhysicsWallah School of Startups (PW SoS), the startup division of the educational firm PhysicsWallah, has formed a strategic partnership with Startup India, under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The two-year collaboration seeks to boost grassroots entrepreneurship, deep-tech innovation, and venture incubation within Tier-II and Tier-III cities and rural regions of the nation.

The collaborative effort seeks to provide comprehensive assistance to nascent enterprises by integrating organized online and in-person training, product development support, incubation facilities, access to investors, and initial seed funding. PW SoS is recognized as an accredited incubator within the StartInUP program of the Uttar Pradesh government.

Aiming to assist various startups, PW SoS is launching multiple programmes. For instance, PW UDYAMI provides a 90-day live online training course and a year of mentorship to entrepreneurs in small towns and rural regions. Aarambh Immersion is a residential program lasting five days that centers on prototype creation, pitch development, and networking.

The Growth Stage CEO Program will assist 200 DPIIT-recognized startups in preparing for growth funding across four hybrid cohorts designed for growth-stage ventures. Furthermore, the six-month PW DeepTech Accelerator will grant chosen high-potential startups opportunities for rapid expansion and financial support.
