We have some news to share.
CreateOS by NodeOps has been selected for the 2026 cohort of Google for Startups Accelerator: India. Selected from approximately 2,500 applications, we are one of 20 AI-first startups joining this year's class, which also marks the 10th anniversary of Google's Accelerator programs.
This is both a milestone and a signal. A milestone because it places us alongside a strong group of Indian founders building deep tech across climate, healthcare, finance, and developer infrastructure. A signal because Google's investment in the agentic AI shift tells us the direction we are heading is the right one.
What the accelerator provides
The Google for Startups Accelerator gives selected companies access to Google's AI stack, alongside technical and go-to-market mentorship from Google engineers and industry experts. For a platform like CreateOS by NodeOps, which sits at the intersection of AI infrastructure and enterprise deployment, that means access to expertise that directly informs what we build.
Specifically, the program covers technical mentorship from Google AI and Cloud engineering teams on architecture, scalability, and production best practices. It includes go-to-market support to help enterprise-focused startups navigate the path from pilot to scaled deployment. And it provides access to Google's AI stack, including models, infrastructure, and tools that complement the execution layer we are building.
For an infrastructure company, mentorship from teams that have operated at Google's scale is practical. It applies directly to the problems we solve every day: keeping agents reliable under load, maintaining governance across environments, and making sure deployment pipelines do not break when traffic spikes.
"India's startup ecosystem is moving into a new frontier of agentic workflows and physical AI systems engineered to solve high-stakes, real-world challenges. As we mark a decade of Google Accelerator programs, the 2026 Indian cohort represents the vanguard of this technological shift. By equipping these pioneering founders with Google's full AI stack and deep technical mentorship, we are not only accelerating their path to global enterprise scale but also cementing the sovereign capabilities required to advance the India AI Mission and build a resilient, inclusive digital economy."

Why CreateOS by NodeOps fits this cohort
Google's announcement described this year's cohort as startups that are defining what is next as the ecosystem transitions from language models to sophisticated agentic systems. That transition is exactly what CreateOS was built to support.
Enterprises today face a specific problem. They have models, prompts, and tool integrations. What they lack is a system to govern what happens when an agent actually runs. AI agents are writing and executing code that nobody reviewed, hitting APIs that move money, and making decisions that affect customers. The stack underneath them needs to provide visibility, governance, and accountability.
CreateOS is the enterprise execution layer for AI-powered software. It unifies building, deploying, and coordinating AI agents and applications into one platform instead of leaving teams to piece together separate tools for coding, hosting, monitoring, and governance. From sandbox to production, from prototype to governed workflow, the full lifecycle lives in one workspace.
What this means for what we are building
The accelerator does not change our roadmap. It accelerates it.
We are keen to work closely with the Google team specifically because enterprise adoption is a distribution problem as much as an engineering one. Google's infrastructure and engineering mentorship help us harden what we have already shipped. Its reach into enterprise buyers gives CreateOS a faster, more credible path to the teams already evaluating a unified execution layer for AI. Engineering depth plus enterprise access is what actually accelerates adoption, not development speed alone.
What is next
India's startup ecosystem is moving into agentic workflows and production AI systems. The Google for Startups Accelerator cohort reflects the technical depth of that shift, and we are glad to be part of it.
