ViewFrequently asked questions
What founders ask about international funding.
Can Indian startups apply to international grants?
Yes — the programmes listed here explicitly accept India-based founders or companies. Some require incorporation, others accept individuals.
Is the funding paid in foreign currency?
Often, which can mean FEMA and FCRA considerations. Each programme's terms are summarised on its page; consult an advisor for compliance.
