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

The SAMRIDH scheme is a flagship initiative launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, aimed at supporting and scaling early-stage software product startups. The program focuses on providing startups with the necessary resources, mentorship, and funding to transform their products into successful businesses. It operates through a collaborative model where MeitY partners with established incubators and accelerators across the country. These partners provide a structured acceleration program, including market access, investor connect, and technical guidance. SAMRIDH specifically targets startups that have developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and are ready to scale. By bridging the gap between product development and commercialization, the scheme strengthens the Indian software ecosystem and fosters technological entrepreneurship at a national level.
