India’s deep-tech and life sciences startup landscape is entering a new era and Whale Tank 3.0 is setting the stage for it.
Scheduled for November 14, 2025, at the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, Whale Tank 3.0 promises to be more than a pitch event; it’s the evolution of venture-building in biotech.
From Pitch to Scale: A Venture Model Built for the Next Decade
WhaleTank 3.0 introduces a hybrid pitch-stage and venture-builder model where science-backed startups connect directly with 50+ active investors, unlocking up to $5 million in milestone-linked capital per company.
But the platform goes beyond capital. Through access to BioE3’s manufacturing and scale-up infrastructure, selected startups gain tangible pathways to pilot production, regulatory navigation, and commercialization.
The result? A model that transforms early innovation into industrial impact faster, smarter, and with measurable outcomes.
Defining India’s Deep-Tech Sectors of Tomorrow
The 2025 edition of WhaleTank spotlights verticals that sit at the heart of India’s biotech future:
- Agri-biologicals
- Synthetic Biology & Biomanufacturing
- Oncology & Therapeutics
- Functional Nutrition & Regenerative Health
- MedTech Devices
- Digital Health
- Allied Life Sciences
These sectors represent not just markets but national priorities, where innovation meets global competitiveness.
Sponsorship That Drives Measurable Impact
WhaleTank’s sponsor model breaks the mold by linking visibility with tangible impact.
Half of every sponsorship amount is deployed as grants to shortlisted startups, making sponsors co-architects of innovation rather than bystanders.
Each sponsorship tier (₹10L, ₹20L, ₹30L) offers differentiated access, co-branding opportunities, and even royalty participation in startup success — a rare combination of purpose and ROI.
By design, WhaleTank 3.0 transforms sponsorship into a strategic investment in India’s innovation economy.
Positioning India as the Next Biotech Powerhouse
“At WhaleTank, our mission is simple — to make deep-tech investable and scalable,” said the organizing team.
“WhaleTank 3.0 is where India’s most promising biotech founders meet global capital, infrastructure, and mentorship — on one live stage. It’s where the next wave of science-led growth begins.”
Strategic Outcomes
- Establish WhaleTank as the go-to platform for early-stage biotech ventures seeking scale.
- Showcase India’s biomanufacturing and synthetic biology capabilities to global investors.
- Demonstrate how venture-building can deliver both scientific and financial returns.
- Strengthen investor and sponsor visibility within the fastest-growing innovation verticals.
