MeitY SAMRIDH (Startup Accelerator Program of MeitY for Product Innovation, Development & Growth)

SAMRIDH provides acceleration support and market access for technology startups, alongside investment support structured through accelerators and with private co‑investment. It targets growth‑stage startups with revenue traction needing help to scale. Because this listing carries a DPIIT-recognition requirement, it reflects the version of SAMRIDH's eligibility criteria applied by accelerators that expect formal Startup India registration alongside majority Indian ownership before shortlisting a cohort. The 1:1 private-sector matching structure means MeitY's contribution is contingent on the accelerator or a co-investor also committing capital, so the practical funding amount a startup receives depends heavily on what its specific accelerator can mobilize from its investor network. Selection typically favors startups that can show a market-ready product and early revenue rather than pure prototypes.
