Novatia has 2 categories: Social and Enterprise. The participants are screened in 3 stages.
Round 1 invites applications in the format of Executive Summaries from various startups from all over the country. These applications are then shortlisted by our partner incubators/accelerators
Round 2 invites a complete Business Plan from the startups that are selected from Round 1. The top 20-25 teams among them are again screened by our partner incubators/accelerators.
These 20 teams receive a month long mentorship period with mentors from one of our partners to improve and curate their business plans further. Then these teams are invited to Coalescence to present their Business Plans in front of a panel of experts from various fields. Finally 2 teams from each category are declared winners.
