Himalayan Grassroot Acceleration Cohort (with MUY)

This cohort is run with MUY for rural entrepreneurs across Uttarakhand, and it is between intakes: the advertised 2026 edition ran from May to August 2026 and the page carries no application form. It was advertised for more than 400 rural entrepreneurs, mostly in food processing, homestays, handloom, agri and herbal products.

What you get

• Twenty virtual thematic workshops over four months
• Market linkage: branding, packaging, pricing, direct buyer connects and marketplace listing
• Access to finance: loan documentation, pitch readiness, and help navigating PMEGP and MSME schemes
• Business capacity: business models, digital tools for accounting and marketing, and basic compliance tracking
• An offline kick-off, then an offline exhibition day with live pitching, buyer-seller meetings and investor discussions

Who can apply

• Rural entrepreneurs in Uttarakhand, selected for on-ground impact and commercial viability

How to apply: no form is published for the next edition. Ask the office at office.tbi@geu.ac.in whether another cohort is planned. Participation was free, with a success-linked fee charged only if the incubator directly secures funding or a significant business deal for a participant.
