इस फंडिंग प्रोग्राम के बारे में
The GENESIS Pilot 2.0 program, an initiative by the MeitY Startup Hub (MSH), is designed to empower promising startups from India's Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. It specifically targets startups that have secured a pilot Purchase Order (PO) or Work Order (WO) from a government body, Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), or a large enterprise. The primary objective is to provide crucial financial and strategic support to help these startups successfully execute their pilot projects, validate their innovative products in real-world settings, and mature their solutions towards industry readiness. By facilitating successful pilot deployments, the scheme aims to build market credibility for these startups, attract further investment, and ultimately enable them to convert initial pilot engagements into long-term commercial relationships and repeat business. This strategic intervention is vital for bridging the gap between product development (MVP stage) and large-scale commercialization, fostering a robust startup ecosystem beyond major metropolitan areas.

आपको क्या मिलेगा
Selected startups will receive up to ₹40 lakh in funding. This financial support is disbursed on a milestone-based system, directly linked to the verified costs of delivering the pilot project as per the Purchase Order or Work Order. In exchange for this funding, an equity stake capped at 3% of the fully diluted post-money shareholding will be allotted to the Implementing Agency on behalf of MeitY Startup Hub. Beyond capital, the program offers significant non-financial benefits including enhanced product validation through real-world deployment, critical market credibility gained from working with government, PSUs, or large enterprises, and improved investor readiness. Startups also benefit from enterprise connect, facilitating networking and potential future business opportunities.
