Selection process

Assessment happens in stages.

  1. Initial screening — IKP EDEN reviews every application against the programme's criteria and filters out those that do not fit.
  2. Detailed evaluation — shortlisted startups are invited to go deeper. This can involve presentations, extended discussions with experts and thorough due diligence on the business and the technology.
  3. Investment Committee decision — the final call on funding rests with the designated Investment Committee, which approves support strictly according to the applicable NIDHI-SSP guidelines and criteria.

An invitation to the evaluation round is a shortlisting step, not a guarantee of funding.
