The grant
Why India for blockchain?
India operates the world's largest startup ecosystem by founder volume (over 100,000 DPIIT-recognised startups), backed by substantial government grant programs designed for early-stage technical ventures. The Startup India initiative — launched in 2016 and significantly expanded in 2024 — provides direct seed funding through the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), plus tax holidays, IP fast-tracking, and priority government procurement for blockchain, AI, and deep tech projects..
Blockchain grants fund Layer 1 protocols, distributed ledger infrastructure, smart contract platforms, and blockchain applications across public sectors. The category covers everything from foundational consensus research to production deployments — with funding available from government agencies (EU, US, UK, Singapore), Web3 foundations (Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot), and ecosystem-specific programs (EBSI, Hub71+ Digital Assets)..
