NIDHI-SSP
NIDHI Seed Support Program for Incubatee Startups
NIDHI-SSP enables Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) to provide timely financial bridge support to incubated startups to attain commercial sustainability.
📋Scheme Overview & Core Objectives
The NIDHI Seed Support Program (NIDHI-SSP) provides financial assistance specifically to startups that are already resident or virtually incubated in authorized DST TBIs.
It addresses the severe capital crunch that occurs after early prototype development when products need regulatory testing, trial market batches, and customer acquisition.
Disbursed through the incubator’s investment committee, it provides founders with quick decision-making and patient capital terms.
