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 how Indian grant reviewers actually assess applications — and what separates the ones that get funded from the ones that get filed away.
Most founders lose a grant long before the decision is made: the wrong entity structure, an eligibility box they could have ticked, or a story that never connects the product to the scheme's mandate. We walk through each of those, with the reasoning reviewers use.
