Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs 2.0

TIDE 2.0 supports ICT startups working in areas of national and social relevance through selected incubators. Public implementation pages show grant-in-aid support such as EiR assistance up to ₹4 lakh and prototype support up to ₹7 lakh. TIDE 2.0's grant-in-aid structure runs in two stages at the incubator level: an Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EiR) allowance of up to ₹4 lakh to validate and develop an idea, followed by prototype/PoC-to-MVP grant funding of up to ₹7 lakh, with preference given to applicants holding a granted, published, or provisional patent. Because delivery is incubator-led, prospective applicants should approach a specific TIDE 2.0-designated incubation centre directly rather than MeitY itself.
