About grant providers in this directory

Every program in the IncorpX Grants Directory is run by a provider: a central ministry or government agency, a state startup mission, an incubator or accelerator, a venture or angel investor, a bank, a corporate program or a foundation. Provider profiles bring these organisations together in one place, covering who they are, where they operate, the stages and sectors they focus on, notable companies they have supported and every program of theirs that we track.

Profiles are curated from official websites and program pages and reviewed by the IncorpX team. Listings are informational: applications always happen directly with the respective program authority, in your own name. IncorpX provides assistance for application preparation and for prerequisite registrations such as company incorporation, DPIIT recognition, MSME (Udyam) registration and GST registration, so founders can approach any provider application-ready.

Grant providers in India, answered

What is a grant provider?

A grant provider is the organisation that funds or runs a startup support program: a government body or agency, a state startup mission, an incubator, an accelerator, a venture or angel investor, a bank, a corporate or a foundation running CSR initiatives. Every scheme in this directory is linked to the provider behind it, so you can evaluate the source of a program before applying.

What types of providers are listed in this directory?

The directory covers government bodies and agencies, incubators, accelerators, VC and angel networks, corporates, foundations and CSR programs, financial institutions, academic institutions, NGOs and ecosystem platforms. Use the Type filter to browse one category at a time, or the State filter to find providers operating near you.

How do schemes connect to providers in this directory?

Each provider profile lists every published program that the organisation runs, and every scheme page links back to its provider profile. That makes it easy to review all programs from a single agency, incubator or investor in one place, along with the focus stages, sectors and location of that provider.

How should I approach an incubator or accelerator?

Start with the provider profile to understand the stages and sectors they back. Most incubators and accelerators run cohort-based calls with structured selection. Keep a concise pitch deck, a clear problem statement and your registration documents ready. IncorpX provides assistance for the prerequisite registrations many programs expect.

Does a listing in this directory imply endorsement?

No. Listings are informational and curated from public sources. IncorpX is an independent private platform and is not affiliated with any government body, incubator, investor or foundation listed here. Always verify program details with the respective organisation before applying.

IncorpX Assistance

Not sure which provider fits your startup?
