Date: February 20, 2025 | Location: The Ashok Hotel, New Delhi | ⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM


What is the AGBA Investor Pitch?

The AGBA Investor Pitch 2025 is an exclusive platform where top-tier investors engage with India’s most promising startup finalists from the 15th Aegis Graham Bell Awards (AGBA).

This high-impact event bridges the gap between startups and investors, offering a unique opportunity for startups to present their innovations to a panel of active investors who are looking to fund the next wave of disruptive technologies.

Unlike traditional pitching events, this is not just a showcase—it’s a curated investment matchmaking experience where startups get real exposure to potential investors.

The AGBA Investor Pitch is an integral part of the Aegis Graham Bell Awards, India’s most prestigious recognition platform for innovation in technology. Over the years, AGBA has identified and awarded some of the most disruptive and high-growth startups, many of which have gone on to secure major funding and industry recognition.

Now, with the AGBA Investor Pitch, we take this a step further by directly connecting startups with investors who are actively seeking their next big investment opportunity.
