Questions about startup grants in India
Is GrantKaro a government website?
No. It is an independent guide. Every card links to the official page, and that page always decides.
Does my co-founder living in another city disqualify us?
No. Company-based schemes look at the registered office, not where founders live.
Are the totals what I will get?
No. They add up maximum caps of grants and allowances. They are not a promise; the committee decides.
