U.S. universities in India.
Indian institutions in the U.S.

Startup Runway is a strategic bridge between U.S. universities and the Indian ecosystem. We facilitate enrollment growth, institutional partnerships, government access, and multi-million dollar innovation center development — in both directions. Our track record spans MIT, UT Austin, UT Dallas, Rivier University, Sofia University, and more.

The University of Texas at Dallas.
Where the model was built.

Startup Runway has an active, ongoing relationship with the University of Texas at Dallas. We currently work with UTD on Project Pitch — a program to develop entrepreneurs and founders within the university community. This partnership is backed by Startup Runway's broader network of over 500 educational institutions across India with whom we maintain existing relationships — providing UTD with unparalleled access to Indian academic talent, research collaborations, and institutional connections.

Why universities partner with Startup Runway.

Our value to universities is bidirectional. We help U.S. universities grow enrollment, develop institutional partnerships, and gain government access in India. We also bring Indian institutional leaders, government officials, and corporate delegations to U.S. university campuses — creating partnership opportunities that benefit both sides.

Universities we have worked with.

The relationships below were developed through Mahesh Nandyala's role as Technology Ambassador for North America for the Government of Andhra Pradesh, and through Startup Runway's ongoing work connecting U.S. and Indian institutions. These are active or documented relationships — not historical footnotes.
