In a move that signals a significant boost for India’s startup ecosystem, the Government of India, under the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme, has allocated a substantial Rs 351 crore to support 2,647 startups across the country. Maharashtra, with its robust entrepreneurial environment, has emerged as a leading beneficiary of this initiative, with a notable focus on fintech, AI, and clean energy startups. This injection of capital is part of a broader strategy to propel India into the forefront of global innovation and entrepreneurship.
Launched in April 2021, the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme was designed to provide financial support to startups through a network of selected incubators.

Key Features of the Scheme:
Maharashtra has positioned itself as a premier startup hub, surpassing previously dominant states like Karnataka and Telangana. This ascension can be attributed to strategic policy reforms, enhanced venture capital accessibility, and a significant expansion beyond major cities like Mumbai and Pune. The state is now witnessing a surge in next-generation startups, particularly in AI, fintech, and clean energy sectors[1].
