Early-stage venture capital firm Titan Capital has launched ‘Future Indicorns’, an initiative aimed at identifying and backing AI startups solving large-scale problems in India. According to the firm, the programme is focused on startups building AI-led solutions across sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, real estate, governance, and data infrastructure. As part of the initiative, Titan Capital has invited applications from founders working on 10 broad themes, including AI for data centre and energy management, AI-native SMB marketplaces, GovTech, healthcare providers, manufacturing, and Indian disease and genome research. Other focus areas include AI for real estate, physical world data, sales enablement, and data sovereignty. The firm said the initiative is intended to support startups building India-focused AI solutions rather than replicating global models.

At the time, the firm said the index aimed to showcase the growing number of self-sustaining startups in India that are scaling without relying heavily on external funding.
