Questions

When is "How Do I Write a Winning Application" and how long does it run?

It is a live online session on Tuesday, 1 September at 10:00 am IST, and it runs for about an hour. The session is in English.

Who is the speaker?

Aparna Kaicker, Co-founder, Startup Grants India. Aparna has 15 years in corporate strategy, M&A and valuation. She joined Startup Grants India as co-founder to help founders find and win non-dilutive funding — government, corporate, CSR, university and international grants — without missing a scheme that was actually meant for them.

How much does it cost?

25 credits if your wallet has enough. Otherwise ₹99, GST inclusive — that is exactly what you are charged, with nothing added at checkout.

Where is it held, and how do I join?

It is held live on Google Meet. The joining link is emailed to the address you register with before the session starts, so register with an address you actually check.

Do I need an account on Startup Grants India to register?

No. You register with just your email address — no account, no password. If you are already signed in, your account email is filled in for you and the seat is linked to your account.

Will I get an invoice?

Yes. A GST invoice is issued automatically and emailed to the address you registered with, right after the payment succeeds.

Who is this session for?

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.

Is a grant guaranteed if I attend?

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.

Can I ask questions during the session?

Yes. It is a live session, not a recording, and there is time for questions about your own situation.

About

A one-hour live session on writing a grant application that a reviewer scores well — not one that just gets submitted.

Most founders treat the application form as a formality: fill the fields, attach the deck, hit submit. Reviewers score the exact opposite way — every section is a signal, and thin, generic, or mismatched answers quietly cost you marks long before the decision is discussed.

What we cover

  • How to structure your application section by section so every answer builds a coherent case for funding
  • What reviewers are actually looking for — including the signals that matter most across problem, solution, traction, impact, and use of funds
  • How to communicate your strongest evidence without overclaiming or drowning the reviewer in detail
  • Why the right positioning is important
  • How to make your answers specific, credible, and aligned with the grant you're applying for

Live on Google Meet. The joining link is emailed to you before the session.
