MUMBAI: The Technology Innovation Hub for Translational Research on IoT and IoE at IIT Bombay is set to host ATMAN 3.0, an eight-week accelerator designed to transform early-stage HealthTech ventures into investment-ready businesses. The initiative will culminate in a Demo Day on January 9, 2026, at Novotel, Mumbai International Airport, where participating startups will pitch before investors, industry leaders, and members of the investment committee. The current cohort of 13 startups was chosen from a competitive pool of 173 startups that pitched their ideas to TIH IIT Bombay. Each winning participant will be awarded funding support of INR 1 crore or more, based on startup evaluation.
Backed by the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) and DST (Department of Science and Technology), Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) at IIT Bombay was established as a Section 8 not-for-profit company to advance translational research and technology-driven entrepreneurship. The Hub works across sectors such as healthcare, BFSI, agriculture, Industry 5.0, smart infrastructure, and education, translating innovation into practical outcomes that serve both industry and society.
Through ATMAN 3.0, TIH at IIT Bombay is deepening its engagement with the HealthTech ecosystem, helping innovators bring research-based medical solutions to market.
Current cohort includes 13 ventures addressing critical challenges across medical devices, digital health, assistive care, and clinical monitoring.

These entrepreneurs are addressing critical challenges that affect millions - ranging from access to diagnostics and rehabilitation to emergency response and chronic care. Our role is to provide structured mentorship, regulatory guidance, and investor access, enabling their technologies to scale responsibly. By creating a clear pipeline from prototype to commercialization, TIH IIT Bombay aims to strengthen India’s innovation ecosystem and position IIT Bombay as a leading hub for next-generation healthcare technologies.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Hardik Joshi, COO of Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) at IIT Bombay said, “ATMAN 3.0 is not just an accelerator, but a launchpad empowering Health-tech founders to innovate responsibly and scale with purpose. With a mission to cultivate an ecosystem where technology and patient-centric outcomes converge to shape a healthier future for India, we at TIH IIT Bombay aim to encourage the transformation of early prototypes into market-ready solutions, via tailored mentorship and strategic support.
