Student Startup & Innovation Policy 2.0 / Student Innovation Fund

SSIP 2.0 supports student innovators and institutional startup ecosystems in Gujarat. Official pages show SSIP 2.0 running for 2022–2027 and a Student Innovation Fund provision of ₹200 crore. SSIP 2.0 runs as a five-year policy window from January 2022 to March 2027 with published targets that include sensitizing five million students to innovation and entrepreneurship, supporting 10,000 student proof-of-concept projects, assisting 5,000 IP filings, and incubating 500 startups statewide. Within this umbrella, the Startup Srujan Seed Support (S4) component run by Gujarat's i-Hub has already disbursed over ₹23 crore across roughly 400 student startups, giving a concrete sense of scale beneath the headline ₹200-500 crore corpus figures cited across policy documents. Institutions seeking to access the fund typically do so through their SSIP cell's registered PoC and mentoring pipeline rather than a single centralized application.
