About this scheme

The Samriddhi Acceleration Program 2.0 is a 12-14 week structured acceleration cohort run by i-Hub Gujarat, the Gujarat Student Startup and Innovation Hub set up under the state government's education department, in collaboration with FundEnable. The 2026 cohort starts in June and runs in hybrid mode, combining online sessions with in-person engagement.

The program is sector-focused. It targets startups working in CleanTech and Waste Management, Energy, Manufacturing, Semiconductors, Defence and SpaceTech, picking up areas that align with both Gujarat's industrial base and India's emerging tech priorities. Inside the cohort, founders go through a tailored curriculum covering business strategy, market access, financial planning, technology integration and growth readiness, delivered through workshops and expert-led sessions.

Samriddhi does not advertise a direct cash grant. The core value is structured curriculum, mentorship, and exposure: Demo Days and investor pitches give cohort startups a stage in front of potential funders, while industry connect sessions surface customer and partnership conversations. The program also commits to continued ecosystem support after the cohort ends, with mentoring touchpoints aimed at long-term market positioning rather than a one-off engagement.

The program is built around six structured phases: a call for applications, identification of pain points, capacity building workshops, industry connect, Demo Days, and investor pitching. It suits founders who already have a working venture (early or growth stage) and want to sharpen go-to-market, fundraising readiness and operational maturity in a focused sector cohort.

Who can apply

  • Startups in the early stage or growth stage (working venture, not pure idea stage)
  • Must be operating in one of the focus sectors: CleanTech and Waste Management, Energy, Manufacturing, Semiconductors, Defence, or SpaceTech
  • No specific entity type, incorporation age or revenue band stated in the source
  • No explicit geographic restriction stated; i-Hub Gujarat's other recent cohorts have accepted applicants from across India
  • Founders should be available for a hybrid 12-14 week engagement starting June 2026
