About Tata Sons
Tata Sons is the holding company and principal investment holding entity of the Tata Group, India's largest diversified conglomerate.
How Tata Sons works with startups
Tata Sons has run TSEC annually since 2012 in partnership with a leading Indian business school, inviting early-stage social enterprises and promising ideas with a proof of concept to enter a national challenge. Shortlisted teams get mentorship and can advance to a grand finale, where top finalists win cash grants of up to Rs 6 lakh and become eligible to pitch for seed capital support of up to Rs 1 crore from a rotating seed fund. Tata Sons is the anchor sponsor, having committed Rs 25 lakh to that fund for an initial three-year period.
