KSUM program connecting corporates and SMEs (revenue ≥₹50 crore) with startups to enable structured collaboration, technology adoption, and corporate investments of over ₹250 crore. KSUM BRIDGE (Business Revolution through Innovation, Digital Growth & Enterprise) is explicitly built around the corporate/MSME side of the match — participating businesses must show annual revenue of at least ₹50 crore — while startups gain access through curated matchmaking rather than an open grant call. Over its first three years the program targets 500+ corporate-startup partnerships and 100+ technology adoptions across sectors including manufacturing, logistics, retail, BFSI, healthcare, and agri-tech.
