At the 2025 Expert Dojo Investors Conclave in Bengaluru, a big announcement dropped—Expert Dojo is doubling down on its India play.
The Southern California-based accelerator, launched in 2018, revealed plans to invest in 20 to 25 emerging Indian startups across areas like SaaS, fintech, B2B services, and artificial intelligence. Although the firm keeps its doors open to any promising idea, it’s particularly drawn to startups with the potential to scale globally.
Expert Dojo isn’t new to this game. With over 300 U.S. startups and more than 30 Indian ventures like Bhive, Cloudworx, and Doqfy already in its portfolio, the accelerator is now betting even bigger on India.
