इस ग्रांट के बारे में
The SIDBI Cohort Program, a collaborative initiative between the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and the WISE SNDTWU Incubation Centre, is dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs across India. Hosted by the prestigious SNDT Women's University, the WISE Incubation Centre operates as a Section 8 Company, focusing on cultivating innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth within the women-led startup ecosystem. This program specifically targets high-potential women-led startups that demonstrate significant innovation, a clear path to scalability, and robust business potential.

By fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, the SIDBI Cohort Program seeks to contribute significantly to economic empowerment and innovation-driven growth spearheaded by women leaders.

चयन प्रक्रिया
The selection process for the SIDBI Cohort Program is designed to identify high-potential women-led startups. Initially, all submitted applications undergo a thorough screening based on predefined eligibility criteria, including the women-led status, equity holding, entity type, and stage of the startup. Beyond basic eligibility, applications are evaluated for the innovativeness of their proposed solution, the scalability of their business model, and the overall strength and experience of the founding team. The business potential and market opportunity are also critical considerations. Shortlisted startups will then be invited to the next stage, which involves interactions with a dedicated selection committee.
