Kerala Startup Mission operates multiple grant and seed‑fund schemes for startups registered in Kerala, including Idea Grants, Productization Grants, and Seed Funding. It supports idea to early revenue‑stage startups across sectors. This entry reflects the umbrella structure of KSUM's Innovation Grant Scheme, which is formally divided into four sequential tracks: Idea Grant (up to ₹3 lakh for proof-of-concept), Productisation Grant (up to ₹7 lakh), Market Acceleration Grant (₹10 lakh for revenue acceleration), and Scale-up Grant (up to ₹15 lakh), each with its own eligibility bar and milestone-based disbursal. Applicants should identify and apply to the specific track matching their current stage rather than treating it as a single combined fund.
