StartupsGoogle Inc., which is planning to mentor 25 startups in India under its six-day programme called Launchpad, will focus more on mentoring rather than funding- unlike its US and UK accelerators- as per a Mint report citing Sunil Rao, country head of the startup ecosystem at Google India.

"The programme will include assisting startups to get the right kind of connections, strategic course corrections, re-evaluating the user experience and design, as well as guidance in technology. They will also get $20,000 worth of cloud credit to buy cloud services," said Rao.

"There are about 25 mentors, half of which are Google employees from India, Israel and California, while the rest are successful entrepreneurs and large investors," he added.
