The AFI AI +Impact Cohort 2026 has officially come to a close, marking the culmination of an inspiring four-month journey of innovation, collaboration, and impact.

Over the past four months, 12 promising AI-driven social impact startups worked closely with Action For India through one-on-one mentorship, Knowledge Building Sessions, Learning Community Sessions, huddles, and a Demo Day, equipping founders with the guidance, networks, and strategic insights needed to scale their solutions.

Our Valedictory Session was made even more meaningful with thought-provoking keynote addresses by Will Poole, Managing Partner at Capria Ventures, who shared valuable perspectives on building sustainable AI businesses, bridging the AI access gap, and using AI responsibly, and Dr. Vijay Amritraj, Padma Bhushan Awardee, Legendary Tennis Player, Actor & Sports Commentator, who inspired founders with his journey of resilience, perseverance, and purpose-driven leadership.

As one cohort concludes, a new chapter begins for these founders. We look forward to seeing their innovations create meaningful impact across communities.

A heartfelt thank you to our cohort startups, mentors, advisors, keynote speakers, ecosystem partners, investors, supporters, and everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone. Your encouragement, expertise, and belief in these founders made this journey truly special.

Here's to building the future of AI for impact together.
