Q: What kind of innovations is the Greenovation Agri Mechanization Challenge looking for?

A: The challenge seeks climate-smart, affordable, and scalable agricultural innovations that improve productivity, reduce labour, and strengthen agricultural value chains for smallholder farmers. This includes solutions in farm mechanization, precision agriculture, dairy, livestock management, natural resource management, circular agriculture, water conservation, and post-harvest technologies.

Q: What is the maximum funding I can receive through this program?

A: Winners of the challenge will share in a prize pool of up to ₹20 lakh. Additionally, high-potential startups may gain an opportunity to access further funding up to ₹1 crore through the EarthON Gurukul acceleration program, and eligible FPCs can access debt funding up to ₹25 lakh through the ONganic Accelerator.

Q: Who is eligible to apply for the challenge?

A: The challenge is open to registered startups and SMEs incorporated within the last 10 years with prototype, pilot-tested, or market-ready solutions. Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) with at least two years of operations and active farmer membership are also eligible, specifically if located in Maharashtra or Madhya Pradesh for the FPC track.

Q: Is there any equity taken by the program?

A: No, the Greenovation Agri Mechanization Challenge awards prizes and facilitates access to further funding opportunities without taking any equity from participating startups or FPCs. The primary funding mechanism is non-repayable prize money, with an optional debt funding opportunity for FPCs.

Q: Is this challenge open to startups from all over India?

A: The Startup & SME track is open to applicants across India, though pilot focus areas are in specific states. The FPC track, however, is exclusively open to Farmer Producer Companies located in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.

Q: What stages of startups are you looking for?

A: We are looking for solutions that are at a prototype, pilot-tested, or market-ready stage. This includes startups that have an MVP, initial users, or are generating early revenue, focusing on pre-seed to growth-stage innovations.
