Funding is an umbrella term covering every way a startup or MSME can raise capital or support — grants, loans, subsidies, seed funds, credit guarantees, accelerators, incubators and competitions. The right kind depends on your stage, sector, category and need.

In India, the funding landscape spans central and state government schemes, SIDBI and bank lending, credit-guarantee–backed loans, and a growing ecosystem of accelerators, incubators and challenges. Non-dilutive options like grants and subsidies sit alongside debt (loans) and equity support.

Use this page as a starting point, then narrow down with the Scheme Finder for ongoing schemes and the Opportunities hub for time-sensitive calls. Always verify eligibility, amounts and deadlines on the official source before applying.
