Whiterays has been shortlisted for the TiE Women Global Pitch Competition 2026, Bangalore Chapter, an international startup competition that supports women entrepreneurs through mentoring, investor access, global learning opportunities, and funding exposure.
The programme is designed for women-led early-stage startups and brings together founders, investors, industry experts, and experienced entrepreneurs through a structured journey that includes chapter-level mentoring, regional pitch rounds, global knowledge sessions, semifinals, and the TiE Global Finale. Finalists will present their ventures before an international panel of investors at the TiE Global Summit 2026, where they will compete for equity free cash prizes.
Whiterays was selected after meeting the programme's eligibility and evaluation criteria, which assess the overall strength of the business, market opportunity, innovation, founding team, and growth potential. As part of the application process, the company presented its business through a pitch deck built around its Assess, Architect, Activate framework, the same approach that guides client engagements across marketing strategy, positioning, and execution. The competition will culminate in the Bangalore chapter finals before progressing to the subsequent regional and global stages.
The shortlisting marks an important early milestone in Whiterays' journey as a woman-led marketing advisory firm and reflects growing recognition of its vision to help technology companies translate innovation into market leadership.
