Lab32 is T-Hubs flagship early-stage acceleration programme. Across cohorts it helps startups sharpen product-market fit, access mentors, corporates and investors, and prepare for fundraising, generally without taking upfront equity. Lab32 has run continuously since 2018 and is described as India's longest-running market-readiness program; by its most recent cohorts it had accelerated roughly 300 startups that collectively raised over $410 million, with a typical cohort receiving several hundred applications (one recent batch drew over 800) and selecting around 20 startups based on founder strength, business model and early traction. Recent cohorts have also run in collaboration with corporate partners such as Hexagon, giving selected startups access to that partner's technical and go-to-market resources in addition to T-Hub's standing mentor and investor network.
