About MeitY SAMRIDH
Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
SAMRIDH (Startup Accelerators of MeitY for Product Innovation, Development and Growth) is MeitY’s accelerator-linked funding programme for software-product startups. Selected MeitY partner accelerators run cohorts and can extend first-round matching investment of up to ₹40 lakh per startup (scheme materials cite an average around ₹30 lakh), typically alongside equal matching capital from the accelerator or co-investor. Acceleration services (customer/investor connect, product support) are part of the package. Founders should approach empaneled accelerators via MeitY Startup Hub rather than treating SAMRIDH as a direct open VC application.
