Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
Madhya Pradesh’s Startup Policy publishes investment assistance of 15% of funds received from SEBI/RBI-recognised financial institutions, capped at ₹15 lakh per investment stage for up to four stages (higher percentages/caps for women/SC/ST founders in the amended booklet). It is a matching-style government grant contingent on raising external capital, not an open ideation cheque. Founders should claim via startup.mp.gov.in after confirming current circulars; the state’s larger AIF seed corpus is out of scope here because it is not a fixed per-startup founder ticket.
