Similarly, IvyCamp is engaged with more than 5,000 start-ups and fintechs globally.
The Accelerator Engagement Programme is part of the Bank’s CODE, where the objective is to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem with relevant players in the start-up and fintech space not just in India but globally. The other initiatives initiated by the Bank under CODE is a Digital Command Centre and ‘Industry Academia’. Industry Academia aims at mentoring and hand-holding fintechs and start-ups incubated at country’s top technical and B-schools like IIT-Bombay, IIT Roorkee to name a few.
