American MNC and database giant Oracle has announced that it has selected 18 new start-ups for its “Startup Cloud Accelerator” programme in India. Launched in 2016, this is the 4th consecutive batch in Bengaluru, where Oracle's global startup program was first piloted successfully, and the second consecutive batch in Delhi and Mumbai.
These newly selected startups are actively using modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), chatbots, big data and predictive analytics, and automation. The startups hail from diverse industry sectors spanning travel, hospitality, micro finance, marketing, employee benefits and rewards services, supply chain management, cyber security and power distribution.
Run by the members of Oracle’s research and development team, the startup programme provides mentoring, co-working space, access to Oracle customers, partners and investors and free Oracle Cloud credits.
Below are the list of selected 18 Indian Startups -- 6 startups each from Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai batches -

Harshad Oak, Senior Director, Oracle Global Startup Ecosystem, said, "With Indian start-ups making global strides, Oracle’s enterprise-grade cloud platform is a natural choice for them to be able to scale rapidly, securely and cost effectively. We’re excited to have these trailblazers part of our start-up programme.”
The Oracle “Start-up Cloud Accelerator” has nine locations worldwide — Austin, Bengaluru, Bristol, Mumbai, Delhi, Paris, Sao Paulo, Singapore and Tel Aviv.
In February this year, Oracle launched a virtual startup accelerator programme called Oracle Scaleup Ecosystem, which is essentially a global non-residential startup programme, that will focus on cities outside the purview of its exiting residential "Startup Cloud Accelerator" programme.
In May, Oracle also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Jharkhand to identify areas in which Oracle’s cloud-based technologies can be utilized to deliver improved citizen services. As a part of the MoU, Oracle will help the state government to improve its citizen services and attract IT startups to assist the state in improving its citizen services through e-governance.
Last month, Oracle has formally launched its much-anticipated blockchain service "Blockchain Cloud Service" generally available globally including in India. The service for enterprises, will help businesses build Blockchain networks to drive efficient transactions.
