Fuel Innovation Through Startup Loans & Grants with CoreCatalyst
Overview of Business Loans and Grants
India’s startup ecosystem has grown rapidly, with thousands of ventures seeking capital to scale their ideas. While equity and private funding options exist, many early-stage businesses struggle due to limited collateral and short operational history. To support this gap, the Government of India has introduced dedicated loan and grant schemes—especially designed for startups and MSMEs that often face challenges in accessing traditional credit.
