About MeitY TIDE 2.0 Scaleup Investment Grant
The scale-up route is for startups that have already validated a product and are ready to move it into production. It is not an open call: you have to be incubated at SANDIP TBI first, and the ministry makes the final decision.
What you get
- Grant support over twelve months to build multiple prototypes and scale the product up for market entry
Who can apply
- Startups already incubated at SANDIP TBI in Nashik
- A validated product ready for production scale-up, with demand you can demonstrate
- An ICT-enabled solution in one of the identified national priority areas
- At least one team member committing full time
- Indian citizens, with four years of full-time undergraduate or postgraduate study in science or engineering, or a three-year degree or diploma plus two years of relevant full-time work
- No overlapping fellowship, grant or seed fund for the same purpose
How selection works: a call for applications is announced, your proposal goes to a G1 centre for endorsement, the endorsed proposal is submitted to the ministry, you present and are evaluated at ministry level, and the ministry declares the result.
How to apply: through SANDIP TBI once a call is announced. Ask your programme contact, or write to info@sandipincubator.org.
