The programme is a part of NASSCOM’s 10,000 start-ups initiative and will kick-off on May 1 by accepting applications from software start-ups, said the company in a press statement.

According to the company, training, technical and business guidance and mentoring will be provided to the start-ups from Pitney Bowes engineering and innovation leaders and from software industry experts. In addition to these strategic connections, start-ups in the Pitney Bowes Accelerator programme will also be networking with prospective investors.
