SAMRIDH Impact Accelerator Program 2026

SAMRIDH Impact Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has launched the SAMRIDH Impact Accelerator Program 2026 to back early-to-mid-stage Indian startups solving critical problems in healthcare and climate-tech. Unlike a standard accelerator, this program provides flexible capital—grants, debt, or equity—tailored to each venture's stage and need, with a maximum support of ₹1 crore per startup.

The program is run by SISPL, a market access and scale-up platform that works closely with government bodies, development partners, and private players. Its goal is to move innovations that have already shown promise through real-world validation (pilot data, trial results, or initial traction) to widespread scale. Startups with a Technology Readiness Level of 4 or above—where components have been validated in a lab or relevant environment—are welcome.

In healthcare, the program covers diagnostics and screening, digital health, medical devices, software as a medical device (SaMD), elderly and chronic care, critical health system challenges, and health systems strengthening. Climate-tech focus areas include electric mobility and EV ecosystems, clean energy and climate-resilient infrastructure, climate and environment solutions, and climate-smart agriculture.

Beyond the capital, selected startups get help with pilot facilitation alongside government and institutional partners, clinical and field validation, regulatory and evidence-generation guidance, channel integration for scaling through public and private routes, and connections to investors, donors, and global markets. Applications must be submitted by 15 June 2026.

• Up to ₹1 crore per startup as grant, debt, or equity.
• Open to early-to-mid-stage healthtech and climate-tech startups with TRL 4+.
• Healthcare focus: diagnostics, digital health, medical devices, SaMD, elderly/chronic care, health systems.
• Climate-tech focus: electric mobility, clean energy, climate-resilient infrastructure, climate-smart agriculture.
• Includes pilot facilitation, clinical validation, regulatory support, and investor connections.
• Applications close on 15 June 2026.

The program is open to early-to-mid-stage Indian startups working in healthcare or climate-tech.
