The accelerator will connect 11 startups - which were selected were selected from a pool of more than 500 applications from across the world - to peers, mentors, advisors and investors in India, Singapore, San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Toronto.

The third batch of the GSF accelerator that began earlier this month includes - for the very first time - three startups based outside India. These include the Taiwan-based pxify that caters to the US and Canadian audiences, Hashtago from Ukraine, and the Indo-Canadian TripMD. In addition to these, there are eight India-based startups - Airstream, Cuztomise, Dailyrounds, Greymeter, GuideTrip, Gigstart, Whatfix, and WizenWorld.

"The selected startups have diverse business models and target markets," explained Rajesh Sawhney, Founder, GSF. "However, the common factor between all the startups selected for GSF Global Program is their vision to go global. Ranging from a startup facilitating high quality medical tourism, to a startup providing innovation platform for crowdsourcing business solutions, to another one developing a graphic design app with vector editors and collaborative capabilities, this cohort is set to establish new benchmarks in the tech world."

The 11 startups will start by spending five weeks connect with mentors and peers in, followed by four weeks in San Francisco, two weeks in New York/ Boston, a week in Toronto and finally a week in Singapore.
