Provides funding support for ICT startups from idea to market stage, mediated by a tiered incubator system focusing on emerging technologies. Support is incubation-led and not a direct founder cheque. Because TIDE 2.0 funding flows through a tiered network of designated incubation centres rather than a central MeitY disbursal, the exact ticket size, milestone structure, and technology focus (AI, IoT, blockchain, robotics, or other emerging tech) depends on which centre a startup is admitted to. Applicants should treat the centre's own call for applications, not a single national deadline, as the operative process.
