Retention cloud platform CleverTap launches CleverTap for Startups
CleverTap on Friday announced the launch of CleverTap for Startups (C4S). Through this initiative, CleverTap will offer a full stack retention platform to all budding digital-native brands, in order to help them personalise and optimise all customer touchpoints, improving user engagement and conversion.
Till date, thousands of large digital-native brands have benefited from CleverTap’s platform, which has solved their needs at scale, speed, and security. The aim now is to make solutions even more affordable for pre-launch, early-stage startups, or companies with limited monthly active users.
New and early-stage businesses have very different needs from larger, well-established brands. They require more flexibility, affordability, and a partner that provides seamless support fuelling their growth plans.

Shakti Foundation and Intellecap launch ACCLIMATE fund
Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (Shakti), in collaboration with Intellecap Advisory Solutions, has launched the Challenge Fund with an objective to strengthen and help accelerate the work of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) committed to climate action in India.
Recognising CSOs as a dynamic source of strategic and innovative climate action, Shakti and the ACCLIMATE Challenge Fund aims to provide capacity building opportunities in areas that include electric mobility, green hydrogen, sustainable transport, industries, cooling, net-zero buildings, agriculture, coastal ecosystems, and climate finance, using a cross-sectoral approach.
It will seek to facilitate general operating support and bespoke capacity building and mentorship for shortlisted organizations for a duration of two years.
The Challenge Fund aims to stimulate tailored responses to local context-specific problems by tapping into local knowledge and creative capacity which is often the forte of CSOs who are deeply immersed in the context. The fund will engage and channel additional resources into organizations to initiate, implement and evaluate activities in a specialized field of climate mitigation. In many cases, such support has a significant impact on the effectiveness of these organizations in fulfilling their missions.
The applications for the fund are open for organizations across India. The last date to submit applications is 15th December 2022.
