Applications for the Appscale Academy will be open until December 15, 2021. Among the applicants, 100 startups will be selected based on defined qualitative and quantitative parameters by a panel of industry experts, members of MeitY Startup Hub, and Google Play.
As per the official statement, the programme will also provide a special focus to the emerging startup ecosystem in tier II and III cities of India and provide them with the help needed to build scalable app solutions.
The selected startups will be trained as part of the six-month program in areas such as data safety and security, monetisation, UX design, and global market expansion.
