What is Startup India recognition?

Startup India is a Government of India initiative run by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). Eligible businesses can apply for official recognition as a startup. Once recognised, your business receives a DPIIT certificate and a recognition number, and becomes eligible for a range of central and state benefits designed to help new businesses grow.

What makes an application from Tambaram succeed

DPIIT reviews how clearly you explain the problem, your solution and what makes it innovative or scalable. Many applications are delayed because the description is vague or reads like a regular service business. We help founders from Tambaram present their idea in plain, convincing language.

We also help you register on the StartupTN portal for state benefits.

• It must be less than 10 years old from the date of incorporation or registration
