CFA India provides up to four months of tailored, expert-led support designed to help participants sharpen their capital-raising strategies, prepare investment-grade documentation, and build credibility with investors. The programme does not provide grants or directly raise capital; instead, it equips businesses and projects to confidently pitch to commercial and concessional investors, with structured opportunities to engage investors expected in November 2026.
The 2026 India cohort prioritises solutions in energy transition, electric mobility, and sustainable cooling, while also encouraging high-potential applications from other climate-focused sectors. The programme targets revenue-generating businesses and post-feasibility projects seeking at least USD 5 million in investment, with a clear pathway to securing funding within one to two years.
