About this grant
Agri INVO is the Startup Agri-Business Incubation Program (SAIP) implemented by the ANGRAU Poshan Incubator under the RKVY-RAFTAAR Agribusiness Incubation Scheme, funded and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India.
The program provides seed-stage grant-in-aid support to agri-startups that have developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) based on innovative solutions, processes, products, services, or business models in agriculture and allied sectors. The objective is to help startups convert MVPs into market-ready offerings and scale their operations efficiently.
Selected incubatees receive financial assistance of up to ₹25 lakhs for startups with a minimum viable product, based on genuine project requirements. This support is complemented by incubation services such as expert mentoring, access to laboratories, intellectual property services, shared office facilities, and structured incubation workshops. The program also provides additional financial assistance to rural women-led startups and aims to accelerate market entry, enhance investment readiness, and ensure long-term business viability.
