About Government of Maharashtra

The Government of Maharashtra runs one of India's more comprehensive state-level startup ecosystems. Its Maharashtra State Innovation and Startup Policy sets a framework for nurturing entrepreneurship through seed funding, mentorship, incubation, and regulatory simplification, with the Directorate of Industries acting as the nodal agency and coordinating with institutions across the state to deliver programmes for founders at different stages.

The state draws strength from Mumbai, India's financial capital, and Pune's busy tech corridor. Its programmes provide financial assistance for prototyping, marketing, and intellectual-property filing, and it has partnered academic institutions and private incubators to extend support beyond the metros into emerging startup hubs across the state.

Startups registered in Maharashtra across fintech, healthtech, agritech, and manufacturing benefit, with programmes open to first-time founders, women entrepreneurs, and social enterprises seeking non-dilutive funding and incubation. It is online at mahastartupmahagov.in.
