What is the role of the Bootstrappers' Research Council (BRC) in this program?
SRM BRC serves as a Knowledge Partner, offering specialized incubation support for applicants applying through their pathway. This includes assistance with prototype development, market validation, grant-writing, IP protection, and investment readiness.
Is there a specific deadline to apply for the IVP?
The EDII Innovation Voucher Programme, particularly through the Knowledge Partner pathways like SRM BRC, operates on a rolling application basis, meaning there is no fixed deadline and applications are accepted continuously.
What is the EDII Innovation Voucher Programme?
IVP is a Tamil Nadu state grant scheme run by EDII-TN (Department of MSME). It funds innovative manufacturing MSMEs and startups with Voucher A (up to ₹3 lakh, idea to prototype) or Voucher B (up to ₹7 lakh, prototype to commercialization), usually alongside a Knowledge Partner.
Is IVP a grant or equity?
It is grant support — equity-free and non-repayable on the terms described by EDII. You still co-finance part of the innovation investment as per IVP norms.
Who can apply?
Manufacturing MSMEs or startups that are registered and located in Tamil Nadu, willing to co-finance as per IVP norms, with CIBIL 750+ if applicable, and without a prior contract with the Knowledge Partner used for the application.
What is the difference between Voucher A and Voucher B?
Voucher A (up to ₹3 lakh) supports converting an idea into a working prototype. Voucher B (up to ₹7 lakh) supports commercialization of a validated innovation — design, technology transfer, IP, testing, certification, and related work.
Do I have to use a Knowledge Partner?
IVP is designed around Knowledge Partner support for pre-development and product or process development. You can start from the EDII IVP page or from a partner pathway form; either way, partner engagement is part of how the scheme operates.
How is this different from the AIC RAISE or SRM BRC programme cards?
Those cards are Knowledge Partner apply pathways into the same EDII IVP scheme. Same voucher ceilings and state eligibility; different form and mentoring wrapper. This scheme page is the evergreen parent.
Is there a deadline?
Partner pathways are commonly treated as rolling. Always confirm the live window on editn.in/Web-IVP or the partner form you are using.
