Indian founders and startup teams who are considering applying for government grants, or who have applied and been rejected without a clear reason why. It assumes no prior grant experience.
No, and nobody can promise that. The session covers how reviewers assess applications and what makes one competitive — the decision always rests with the funding body.
Yes. It is a live session, not a recording, and there is time for questions about your own situation.
A one-hour live session on the non-dilutive funding built specifically for deeptech in India — and how to become the kind of application that clears technical review.
Deeptech is funded differently. Reviewers weigh your technology readiness, the science, and the IP, not just the market slide. Yet most founders apply to the wrong schemes, at the wrong stage, with a pitch written for investors instead of grant committees. We map the landscape — BIRAC (BIG, SEED), TDB, NIDHI, ANRF/SERB, DST and sector missions — and show how to sequence them so grants fund your build.
