## About StartupGrantsIndia
StartupGrantsIndia is India's largest independent directory of startup grants, government schemes, accelerators, incubation programs, CSR funds, and seed funding for Indian founders — covering DPIIT-recognised programs, state startup policies, central ministry schemes (BIRAC, DST, MeitY, MoFPI, NABARD), and corporate CSR pools in one searchable place.
We track 400+ active programs across every stage, sector, and state so Indian founders spend less time searching and more time building. Our database is updated regularly by a team that monitors DPIIT announcements, state government portals, CSR disclosures, and accelerator cohort launches.
We are a private platform and are not affiliated with any government body, ministry, or public institution. Listing on our platform does not constitute endorsement of any program.
