About this Opportunity

The DST NIDHI Seed Support Programme (NIDHI-SSP) is a key initiative by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to provide crucial capital assistance to promising technology startups. Savli Technology and Business Incubator (STBI), as a fund partner, implements this program to bridge the gap between initial investment and future venture funding. The support is offered via equity or equity-linked instruments to help early-stage ventures achieve sustainability and growth.

The program targets tech-driven solutions across various sectors, including MedTech, Agri-Tech, Energy, and Deep Tech, and is specifically for startups that already have a working prototype or a solid go-to-market roadmap.

Eligibility

  • The startup must be an Indian-registered company.
  • The applicant must have a working prototype or a solid Go-to-Market (G2M) roadmap.
  • The startup should have a defined USP (Unique Selling Proposition) validated by customers and a clear value proposition.
  • At least 51% shareholding must be with Indian promoters (not applicable to Indian subsidiaries of MNCs/foreign firms).
  • If shortlisted, the startup has to be associated with STBI.
