About this scheme
PayU inFINity 3.0 is a zero-equity, fintech-focused accelerator program designed to support early-stage fintech startups building for India and emerging markets. Created by PayU, the program is positioned as a build-with-us platform that integrates startups into one of India's most established fintech ecosystems rather than functioning as a traditional funding-only accelerator.
The program specifically targets founders who have progressed beyond the idea stage and are now addressing challenges related to scale, distribution, compliance, infrastructure, and capital formation. Through a carefully curated cohort selection process supported by Atrium Ventures, startups are evaluated on the strength of their fundamentals, clarity of problem definition, and alignment with institutional expectations for long-term scalability.
Selected startups participate in a four-week, hands-on acceleration sprint led by PayU leaders and Atrium-backed operators. The mentorship phase focuses on go-to-market execution, compliance readiness, distribution strategy, and fundraising preparation. A key differentiator of inFINity is direct access to PayU's merchant network, infrastructure, and distribution capabilities, enabling startups to execute real go-to-market strategies and generate early traction within an operational fintech environment.
The program culminates in a 1.5-day in-person Bootcamp and Demo Day in Bengaluru, where participating startups engage in structured conversations with 8, 10 leading fintech investors. In addition to ecosystem access and investor exposure, startups may receive up to $10,000 in AWS Cloud credits, subject to eligibility criteria.
