IIMA-CIIE, an incubator and seed investor exits from four startups, namely Guvi, Barrix, Transerve and Riskcovry. These startups were discovered and nurtured through IIMA-CIIE’s flagship accelerators, including The Power of Ideas, Financial Inclusion Lab and India Innovation Growth Program.
“We are thrilled to announce these successful exits during a time when the market conditions have been particularly tough,” said Vipul Patel, Partner – Seed Investments at IIMA-CIIE. “This achievement is a testament to the resilience and determination of our team, as well as the strength of our proprietary scouting and investment strategy.”

India’s original IT garage startup, HCL acquired a majority stake in edtech platform GUVI, a tech skills learning platform in vernacular languages. Both transactions yielded a 6x return each to IIMA-CIIE.
