Delhi Awards Grants to Six Student Startups at Festival
On October 8, 2026, the Delhi government's Department of Training & Technical Education awarded equity-free grants of Rs 10 lakh each to six student-led startups at the Campus-to-Market: Delhi Startup Yuva Festival 2026. An additional 100 startups received Rs 1 lakh encouragement grants. The initiative, in collaboration with TiE Delhi-NCR, supports students transitioning academic ideas into real-world applications, with over 750 students participating.
Looking ahead, the Delhi government intends to continue its support for youth entrepreneurship through similar initiatives. The success of the Campus-to-Market festival might open doors to more comprehensive programs focused on nurturing young innovators. Future milestones could involve increased funding opportunities, mentorship programs, and collaborations with industry leaders to further strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Delhi. As this initiative gains traction, it has the potential to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs across India, contributing to the country's economic growth and innovation landscape.
