Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) on Tuesday invited entries from start-ups for the fifth cohort under its Mobility & Automobile Innovation Lab (MAIL) initiative.
Maruti Suzuki has collaborated with 18 start-ups selected in the previous four rounds of the MAIL programme. It has invited applications from early-stage start-ups that are working in mobility and automobile space.
Launched in January 2019, MAIL supports the start-up ecosystem by providing them with industry exposure. MAIL offers them an opportunity to work on technology and solutions that can be applied in real-world business scenarios.
Maruti Suzuki has partnered with GHV Accelerator — an Indo-Japanese early stage seed fund, to identify and address the early-stage start-ups with innovative and customer-oriented solutions.
The participating start-ups will be provided with an opportunity to turn their innovative ideas into practical disruptive solutions and showcase their entrepreneurial capabilities.

The selected start-ups get an opportunity to undertake paid Proof of Concept (PoC) with the company to develop industry-ready solutions for any live case across business functions such as Marketing and Sales, Engineering, Service, Production, Logistics, Warehousing, Spare Parts and Accessories.
The start-ups will also get an opportunity to implement their solutions and validate them for business readiness.
