How It Works

Phase 1

2-Month Online Pre-Incubation Program

What Happens: Once selected, our startups & innovators receive transformational support. The selected individuals & groups participate in mentoring & coaching with our technical experts, business & thought leaders. They also get access to our powerful network of startups & founders. This is one of the strongest networks of change makers who are transforming agriculture & allied sectors.

The Result: The participants’ prototype is passed through multiple technical validations, business assessments, IP and other checks to create a feasible, viable, and scalable product ready for the market. Finally, the participants get to pitch their product to our panel of experts and the selected startups have the opportunity to get incubation with a Grant-in-Aid of up to INR 5,00,000.

Phase 2

1-Year Incubation Program

What Happens: The selected startups receive mentoring and grant-in-aid of up to INR 5,00,000 (in milestone based 3-tranches) to commercially launch their product. They are mentored to run & sustain their business, grow their market linkages & connections, and develop a plan for scaling up. The start-ups also get field trials and pilot opportunities along side.

The Result: In the program, our startups develop a better product & business acumen, their professional network grows in quantity as well as quality, and they have more options of raising money.
