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

MeitY accelerator program supporting software product startups with capital, mentorship, and market access, having supported 241+ startups with an outlay of ₹99 crore. The 241+ startups and ₹99 crore figures cited for this program reflect SAMRIDH's original four-year target set at its August 2021 launch; more recent progress reporting shows the scheme has since gone further, accelerating over 370 startups with about ₹93.75 crore actually disbursed through 43 empanelled accelerators across 16 states. Because funding flows through the accelerator a startup is admitted into, the specific mentorship structure, investor connect quality, and pace of disbursement vary by which of the 43 accelerators runs a given cohort.
