IIT Madras researchers at Centre for Research on Start-ups and Risk Financing (CREST) have developed an ‘Intelligence Platform on Government Funding Schemes for Start-ups’ to boost the start-up sector. It was launched by Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 Sherpa, on Oct.25.
Developed and implemented in partnership with YNOS, a start-up, incubated by IIT Madras, the government funding platform for start-ups brings together the entire spectrum of start-up schemes from the government, to the doorsteps of the entrepreneur.
The product integrates information on the various central government schemes, central public sector companies, and also that of various state governments. There are more than 100 different schemes by different agencies.
