During this journey, we have evaluated over 447 startups, and we have selected 11 for POC in the first 4 phases of futurance. This is a testimony to the huge support and interest from the startup community for this program, not just from India but also from abroad. At this juncture, I am really happy to announce the launch of the 5th phase of Futurance and invite startups to apply for the program, just like the previous phases this program will allow the startups to connect, collaborate, and scaleup their products, and this with the support from the senior leadership at HDFC Life"
