In 2025, India’s government is offering ₹77,080 Cr in non-dilutive funding for startups, MSMEs, and manufacturers. Yet, most founders overlook these grants while chasing VCs. Key schemes include Startup India Seed Fund, SAMRIDH, and PLI. With DPIIT registration and clean documentation, early-stage ventures can access up to ₹50 lakh to ₹10 Crore without giving up equity.
