ViewFrequently asked questions
What founders ask about this funding combination.
What can a sub-₹10-lakh idea grant fund?
A prototype, an early pilot or a first market test — enough to de-risk the idea before raising more. They're validation capital, not growth capital.
Are small idea-stage grants easier to win?
Eligibility is often lighter and cycles faster, though selection remains competitive. They're a strong first non-dilutive win.
Do I need a registered company for a sub-₹10-lakh idea grant?
Often not — many early ideation grants accept a team and a concept, and help you incorporate if selected. Each programme states whether registration is required up front.
