Why Sponsor

Why brands choose
SuperStartUps.

This isn't a logo placement. It's a relationship with India's next generation of builders.

01
Access 100+ high-intent founders
Every applicant is an active builder — not a passive audience. Sponsors get authentic, direct exposure to founders at their most receptive moment.
02
Invest in a movement, not an ad slot
SuperStartUps is a story about courage and community. Your brand becomes part of that narrative — in media coverage, founder conversations, and alumni memory.
03
Reach India's next wave — Tier 2 & 3
Over 48% of DPIIT startups come from outside metros. Our reach is where India's next PhonePe or Byju's is quietly building.
04
Life-long community visibility
The community doesn't end on Grand Finale night. Sponsors stay embedded in a growing founder network — year-round, for life.
05
Proven alumni credibility
PhonePe. Byju's. Licious. Brands that backed SuperStartUps early were present at the beginning of ₹1000s crore in value creation.
06
Media amplification via CNBC
Target media partnership ensures every sponsor's name is seen alongside India's most compelling founder stories.

“Brands that backed SuperStartUps early were present at the beginning of ₹1000s crore in value creation.”
