Hyderabad: Startup ecosystem platform T-Hub has rolled out Flashpoint, a venture studio to co-build companies with founders across India around industry-validated problems, starting with agri-tech and space-tech tracks in partnership with Kheyti and Dhruva Space.T-Hub said the studio is aimed at reducing early-stage barriers such as problem discovery, access to expertise and demand validation, allowing founders to focus on building market-ready solutions.Under the model, T-Hub and sector partners will identify specific problems, select founders and help them build startups from day zero. The organisation said selected founders will receive operator-led mentorship, access to labs, testbeds, supply chains and support for their first fundraise, while retaining 100% ownership without equity dilution.In the agri-tech track, selected founders will join Kheyti as Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, receiving a monthly stipend of ₹1 lakh, sponsored pilots and direct access to 8,000 greenhouse farmers from the first week. Kheyti, an Earthshot Prize-winning company, works on climate-resilient farming solutions for smallholder farmers.The space-tech track will give founders access to Dhruva Space’s engineering infrastructure, including cleanrooms, thermal-vacuum and vibration testing facilities, and ground stations. Dhruva Space provides satellites, mission-critical subsystems, launch facilitation, ground segment solutions and capacity-building services.T-Hub CEO Kavikrut said Flashpoint gives founders an industry-validated problem, an experienced operator and access to T-Hub’s network and resources.Kheyti co-founder and CEO Kaushik Kappagantulu said the partnership marks a return to T-Hub, where Kheyti began in 2015.Dhruva Space co-founder and CEO Sanjay Nekkanti said India’s growing space economy would create opportunities across components, subsystems, software, data and services.Flashpoint follows T-Hub’s Blueprint fellowship and extends its co-building approach to the pre-company stage. T-Hub has supported over 3,300 startups and works with more than 250 investors and funds worldwide.
