Impact Innovation Grants with HDFC Parivartan

This round has already picked its winners, so treat it as closed and worth asking about only if you want to know whether it will run again. Forge implements it in partnership with HDFC Parivartan.

What you get

• A pilot grant that part-subsidises the cost of a pilot project for your prospective buyer, so the buyer takes on a new technology at lower risk and cost
• Six months to execute the pilot with that buyer, with the aim of proving the case for a larger deployment later

Who can apply

• Market-stage startups commercialising a technology for climate change resilience and reversal
• You need a prospective buyer or customer willing to host the pilot, because the grant subsidises their cost rather than yours alone
• Forge publishes no incorporation, geography or category criteria

How selection works: An application round. Forge reports 270 applications received, 11 startups shortlisted and 4 selected. The screening criteria are not published, and the winners are not named.
