The iStart Rajasthan initiative is a flagship programme by the Department of Information Technology and Communication, Government of Rajasthan, designed to foster innovation and support the startup ecosystem in the state. The programme offers financial assistance through seed grants and monthly sustenance allowances to vetted startups. It aims to reduce the financial burden on early-stage entrepreneurs by providing vouchers for various business services, including digital infrastructure, marketing, and legal consultancy. Startups are evaluated through a QRate ranking mechanism, which determines their eligibility for different funding tiers. By providing a managed platform for mentoring and investment connects, iStart helps local entrepreneurs scale their business models, create jobs, and contribute to the state's digital economy through a structured support framework.
