Kerala Startup Mission

About This Scheme

A 3-month intensive accelerator program by Kerala Startup Mission for high-growth startups in Animation, Gaming, VR/AR, and Comics, offering mentorship, masterclasses, and investor access.

The LEAPX AVGC-XR Accelerator, spearheaded by Kerala Startup Mission with SAIK as its Knowledge Partner, is a specialized program tailored for high-potential startups operating within the burgeoning Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) and Extended Reality (XR) sectors. This intensive, tech-driven accelerator is meticulously designed to identify and rapidly scale category-defining companies poised for significant growth in these innovative industries. India's AVGC-XR sector is witnessing exponential growth, presenting immense opportunities for startups to capture a substantial global market share. The program specifically targets companies engaged in key sub-sectors.

In Gaming, this includes mobile gaming, PC and cloud-based games, esports technology, and novel publishing platforms, recognizing its massive user base and rapid expansion. For Enterprise XR, the focus is on transformative applications such as VR training solutions for healthcare and aviation, augmented reality in retail, digital twin technologies for industrial use, and advanced remote collaboration tools, addressing high-ticket B2B revenue opportunities. Within Animation, the accelerator supports innovations in intellectual property (IP) creation and the adoption of real-time workflows, essential for enhancing production efficiencies and creative outputs. Furthermore, the program encourages advancements across the broader AVGC-XR landscape, including the development of essential tools, platforms, middleware, and hardware that underpin the entire ecosystem. By concentrating on these strategic areas, LEAPX aims to foster a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and drive the next wave of growth in India's digital creative economy.
