Selection process
The selection process for the USHUS Seed Grant involves several distinct stages. Initially, all submitted online applications undergo a thorough review by a joint team from IIMK LIVE and Cochin Shipyard Limited.
Following this initial assessment, a dedicated selection committee evaluates the applications, shortlisting candidates based on criteria such as the clarity of the problem statement, the innovativeness of the proposed solution, the readiness of the technology, the capabilities of the founding team, the market opportunity, and the potential impact of the venture.
Shortlisted startups then proceed to a due-diligence phase conducted by IIMK LIVE. Upon successful completion of due diligence, an investment or grant agreement is formally signed, leading to the disbursal of the grant funds.
