Flipkart Ventures launches Leap Ahead 4.0 to back early-stage startups

Flipkart Ventures has launched the fourth edition of its accelerator program, Flipkart Leap Ahead 4.0, to back early-stage startups driving innovation across India’s digital economy. 

The program will offer equity investments of up to $500,000 and provide selected startups with structured mentorship from Flipkart’s leadership, domain experts, and venture ecosystem partners.

This year, Flipkart is specifically looking to support AI-native startups, drone technology companies, and quick commerce enablers. 

Flipkart Leap Ahead was first launched in 2022, and in its previous editions, the program has backed startups such as Dopplr, Livwell, Rightbot, Saara, and FlexifyMe. These companies have gone on to raise follow-on funding and scale their businesses with Flipkart’s strategic support.

With Leap Ahead 4.0, Flipkart Ventures continues to deepen its commitment to the Indian startup ecosystem by helping founders build scalable solutions for India’s next 500 million internet users.
