Turbostart Expands to Delhi-NCR to support and Accelerate the Emerging Startups in the region

Turbostart, the Bangalore-headquartered venture capital fund and startup accelerator, has announced its strategic expansion into the Delhi-NCR region, reinforcing its commitment to nurturing India’s emerging startup landscape. With this move, Turbostart aims to tap into North India’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, which now contributes to more than one-third of the country’s early-stage ventures.

Since its inception, Turbostart has invested over $35 million across 55+ startups, spanning sectors such as fintech, health tech, edtech, logistics, sustainability, and advanced technologies. The new office in Delhi will serve as a key hub for sourcing high-potential ventures, building stronger ties with institutional partners, and fostering collaboration with investors and policy stakeholders.

The expansion is designed to enhance Turbostart’s engagement with early-stage founders, offering them access to its global network of mentors, strategic partners, and five domain-focused Centers of Excellence (CoEs). These CoEs provide hands-on expertise in strategy, design, technology, and operations, helping startups solve real-world challenges and accelerate their growth trajectories.

Rajagopal Koushik, Founding Partner and CEO of Turbostart, emphasized the significance of the move: “Innovation thrives where access, opportunity, and mentorship intersect. Expanding to Delhi strengthens our ability to connect with emerging entrepreneurs and institutional partners at the heart of India’s economic and policy ecosystem. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to catalyzing sustainable growth and creating lasting impact.”

The Delhi office will also anchor the regional rollout of Ken42, Turbostart’s AI-powered operating system for higher education institutions. Under the leadership of Abhishek Sachar, newly appointed CTO of Ken42, the platform will collaborate with universities across North India to enhance digital operations and academic management. Turbostart’s largest CoE, TSquaredC, is expected to benefit from the region’s strong base of engineering and software talent.

Piyush Arora, Head of Corporate Strategy and Investment, will lead operations in the region. He noted, “The region’s entrepreneurial energy and technological depth hold immense promise. We are committed to translating that potential into meaningful, measurable impact.” Arora also oversees business expansion for Turbostart’s ventures, including PiChain, an AI-native vendor onboarding and management solution, and Optimile, an end-to-end logistics technology platform led by Dhruv Khandelwal.

Turbostart’s expansion into Delhi follows its recent entry into Kolkata, where Ramaprosad Ghosh leads efforts to strengthen sales and technology capabilities. With established operations in Bangalore and Coimbatore, the company is now preparing to launch offices in Mumbai and Pune, two of India’s fastest-growing startup hubs.

On the global front, Turbostart maintains an active presence in the United States and the Middle East, with plans to expand into the United Kingdom and Singapore. These international initiatives reflect Turbostart’s vision of building a globally connected ecosystem for early-stage founders and emerging technologies.
