AGB Innovation Pitch: Where Innovation Meets Investment

AGB Innovation Pitch: Where Innovation Meets Investment Driven by requests from participating startups, we rolled out the AGBA Innovation Pitch to facilitate the vital connection between entrepreneurs and investors. We believe that no innovation is truly impactful until it reaches its users, and capital is the essential catalyst for that journey.
The platform was officially launched on 20th February 2025 in New Delhi by the Hon’ble Minister of State for Education & Skill Development, Shri Jayant Chaudhary, and the Hon’ble Minister of State for Electronics & IT, Shri Jatin Prasada, as part of the 15th Aegis Graham Bell Awards. The inaugural event brought together 68 top-tier investors and startups, proving the immense potential when innovation meets opportunity.

The mission is guided by the words of Hon’ble Minister Shri Jayant Chaudhary: true entrepreneurs deliver a social good by solving real community needs. The AGBA Pitch is our commitment to empowering the innovators building a developed India by 2047.
