TIDE 2.0 (Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs)

MeitY program supporting technology startups through incubation, mentorship, and funding, with a focus on deep-tech and digital products, particularly in Tier-II and -III cities. Named Group 1 centres illustrate how the network is regionally organized — IIMCIP covers East and Northeast India, CIIE.CO covers the west zone, with additional centres such as KIIT-TBI and IIT Delhi's FITT also active — so a startup's specific incubator determines the exact mentorship style and milestone structure attached to its funding. Disbursement is generally milestone-based rather than a single lump sum, reflecting the program's incubation-first design over pure grant-making.
