Kotak Mahindra Bank has started an 'Innovation Lab' in Bengaluru to tap into the best technology that impacts its operations, and is open to investing in startups.

BANGALURU: “We started an ‘Innovation Lab’ recently which is right now a dedicated space from where we are partnering with startups in the fintech space to test concepts and launch them into commercial products.” said Deepak Sharma, Chief Digital Officer, Kotak Mahindra Bank.

Kotak Mahindra has put together a seven-member core team which is working with 7 startups in the Artificial Intelligence, Analytics, Biometric or Iris Scanning and Machine Learning space.  While two startups in the cohort are from the US and Australia, and few are Bengaluru-based, as told by Deepak Sharma.

The Innvoation lab is located in its office on MG Road in the garden city. The initiatives includes setting up funds and incubation centres for startups. They are also organising ‘hackathons’ and ideation contests.

“We are open to investments in other startups as well but do not have a dedicated fund now.
