Is there a direct cash grant provided?

Startup Shakthi does not disburse a direct cash grant. The programme provides structured support to help participants identify and access grants, government schemes, and funding sources suited to their idea and stage.

What sectors are eligible?

Applications opened on 6 May 2026 and close on 13 May 2026. The orientation session for selected participants is on 16 May 2026. Seats are limited.
