The DST NIDHI PRAYAS (Promoting and Accelerating Young and Aspiring Innovators & Startups) Program is a flagship initiative providing a prototyping grant and expert guidance to help innovators bring their ideas to life.
The program focuses on helping applicants:
- Develop a working Hardware PoC/Prototype over a typical duration of 12 months.
- Access state-of-the-art facilities and labs, including 3D Printing, Cutting, Welding, and Electrical Lab machinery.
- Receive guidance from mentors and industry experts to validate the product and accelerate innovation.
The IP generated through the PRAYAS project will vest with the innovator/startup.
