Hyderabad-based T-Hub has partnered with Berkadia, a real estate company to foster innovation, growth and knowledge exchange in the Indian start-up ecosystem. 

Both entities have confirmed that the alliance will last for two years during which Berkadia will actively participate in T-Hub’s membership programme. 

As part of the alliance, Berkadia will gain access to T-Hub's network of start-ups.  The relationship journey will build on facets of mentorship, networking, proofs of concept, pitch analysis, design assessments, business reviews, technical discoveries, and market analysis that will all play a part in driving change in the commercial real estate industry, ultimately creating value. 

The program aims to connect at least 40-56 start-ups with Berkadia during the two-year alliance period. The program will include sensitisation meetings, scouting, screening, evaluating, curated marketing campaigns, outreach, call for applications, specialized jury members, and pitch day. By providing a platform for start-ups to showcase their solutions, the program will foster collaboration between Berkadia and start-ups, driving growth, and development.

Mahankali Srinivas Rao, CEO of T-Hub, said, "We are delighted to work with Berkadia to promote innovation and entrepreneurship. Through this alliance, we aim to connect our startups with Berkadia's network and resources, enabling them to collaborate and create new opportunities. We look forward to working with Berkadia and achieving our shared goals of driving growth and development."

Sudipto Mukherjee, Country Head and Managing Director at Berkadia India added, “This strategic partnership is a first-of-a-kind initiative by Berkadia in the Indian subcontinent and is set to open avenues for more innovation. By working with T-Hub, we will have access to a wide range of innovative startups that align with our focus areas and enable us to stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced commercial real estate industry.”
