समयसीमा और प्रक्रिया
चयन प्रक्रिया
The selection of grantees is meticulously carried out by Venture Center, overseen by a dedicated Project Oversight Committee. This committee evaluates proposals based on several key criteria, including the technical soundness and feasibility of the solution, its potential for creating significant social impact, and the underlying business opportunity. The capabilities and background of the applicant team are also critically assessed, alongside the knowledge intensity, novelty, and intellectual property (IP) potential of the technology. Exceptional cases may be given special consideration based on their individual merit by the committee. Shortlisted candidates proceed to an interview or presentation round where they articulate their project proposal directly to the Project Oversight Committee, after which final selections are made and communicated.
