This initiative is designed to support Scheduled Tribe innovators who are building innovative and technology-driven business ideas with strong commercial potential. The program focuses on nurturing early-stage startups by providing equity-based financial support rather than loans, enabling founders to concentrate on product development and market validation without immediate repayment pressure.
The scheme aims to empower young innovators, students, and early entrepreneurs from the Scheduled Tribe community to transform their ideas into sustainable ventures. Along with funding support of up to INR 30 lakhs, selected startups benefit from incubation support, mentorship, networking opportunities, and assistance in fundraising. The program is structured to help founders move from ideation or prototype stages towards building viable, scalable commercial businesses that can create social and economic impact.
