At Innovher, we are committed to supporting colleges and students in driving research that creates real-world impact. In collaboration with the Finance & Investment Cell, Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), we proudly present a pioneering student-led research project titled “Startup Accelerator Business Models & Financial Management.”

This journal explores the fast-evolving landscape of India’s startup accelerators, shedding light on financial models, regulatory dynamics, the role of private equity, and a data-driven Vision 2030 for inclusive startup growth across Tier II and III cities.

The research was shaped by the dedicated efforts of SRCC student contributors: Aditya Gulvani, Hiranya, Maira Raina, Pratham Grover, Vaanchhit Agarwal, Vanisha Gupta, and Yashika Sharma.

Their exemplary work reflects the potential of young scholars to contribute meaningfully to ecosystem-level research and innovation strategy. Through such initiatives, Innovher continues to empower emerging talent and drive thought leadership in India’s startup economy.
