Selection process
The selection process is designed to identify the most innovative and relevant drone and aerial intelligence solutions. Applications are first screened by a committee comprising experts from L&T's innovation and business units. They evaluate the startup's technology novelty, market fit, scalability, and alignment with L&T's strategic needs. Shortlisted startups are invited to the Demo Day in Bengaluru on August 7, 2026, where they present a live demonstration of their solution. A panel of L&T key decision-makers and industry leaders then assesses pitches on innovation, business potential, team capability, and feasibility for collaboration. Based on Demo Day outcomes, promising startups may be invited for further discussions to initiate PoCs, partnerships, or go through due diligence for potential investment from the L&T Innovation Fund.
