Entrepreneurs and startups play a vital role in driving innovation, job creation, and economic growth. They are the force behind transformative technologies, services, and products that reshape industries. Recognizing the impact of startups, the Government of Maharashtra has partnered with the prestigious Cornell University to launch the Cornell Maha60 Accelerator Program.

This year-long, part-time program is tailor-made to empower entrepreneurs with essential business skills, cultivate a growth-oriented mindset, and provide a platform to learn from Cornell faculty and industry experts. Entrepreneurs also get the opportunity to connect with like-minded founders and access capital-raising opportunities. We are elated to share the exciting news that SmartU founder Sachin Farfad Patil has been selected to participate in this prestigious program, fully sponsored by the Government of Maharashtra Industries Department.

This incredible opportunity not only allows us to learn from Cornell University faculty but also engage in dynamic discussions and collaborate with fellow entrepreneurs from Maharashtra. It’s a badge of honor we wear with pride. As we embark on this exciting journey, we are committed to enhancing our leadership skills and bringing back valuable insights that will contribute to the growth and success of SmartU.
