The MeitY GENESIS PILOT Program is designed to enable ICT, AI, and deep-tech startups from Tier-II & Tier-III cities to validate and demonstrate their market-ready solutions through real-world pilot projects with large enterprises.
Implemented locally by AIC-ADT Baramati Foundation, the objective is to bridge the gap between MVP and commercialization by enabling startups to execute paid pilot projects, gain validation, and strengthen industry–startup collaboration.
Key benefits include:
- Pilot Support of up to ₹40 Lakhs (disbursed in one or two milestone-linked tranches).
- Partnership opportunities with Corporates, PSUs, and Unicorns.
- Mentoring, infrastructure access (labs, prototyping tools, workspace), and business connect support.
- National visibility and credibility.
