Nasscom is set to roll out its InnoTrek 2025 – USA edition, designed to arm Indian deeptech start-ups with the market insights, strategic networks, and resources needed to break into and scale across the United States.
This year’s cohort brings together 27 companies spanning AI/ML, cybersecurity, semiconductors, industrial IoT, agentic AI, quantum-inspired optimisation, autonomous systems, regtech, legaltech, climate tech, and health tech. The line-up ranges from early-stage ventures to mature firms with diverse funding profiles, all united by a sharp focus on the U.S. market.
Scheduled for September 8–19, 2025, the program will cover two key hubs — San Francisco, California (Sept 8–12) and New York (Sept 17–19) — offering in-depth market knowledge tailored to the USA, networking with key stakeholders and industry leaders.
Over the years, Nasscom’s InnoTrek programme has hosted several editions across the USA and Middle East. The 2025 “Funding Insights” data shows a spread across pre-revenue companies to those that have raised under $500K, $500K–$1M, and $1M–$5M. Nine of the start-ups in this year’s cohort have registered intellectual property.
Among the featured start-ups is Beagle Security, which delivers AI-powered automated penetration testing that simulates real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities early. Beagle Security operates in the $100,000–$1,000,000 revenue band, with undisclosed funding but a growing roster of enterprise customers.
