What The Program Did
A one-month, in-person program where five early-stage climate founders live and build together in a shared villa in Bangalore, the Susventures Climate Residency is designed to help founders move from idea to clarity, traction, and early proof. The program combines focused work with community, mentorship, and real-world learning, creating an environment where founders can collaborate, grow, and accelerate their ventures. Participants take part in immersive field and factory visits, gaining firsthand exposure to how impactful climate solutions are built and scaled. Founders also learn directly from world-class mentors, industry leaders, and ecosystem experts, receiving practical guidance and strategic support throughout the residency.
In addition, the top three teams stand a chance to win grants of up to ₹15 lakhs to further accelerate their journey.
