MESSAGE

Startup India Initiative announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister in the year 2015, has set a new vision
for the Indian economy to unlock people’s entrepreneurial potential in a conducive environment.
Today, India is the third largest startup ecosystem globally which has grown from strength to
strength in the last few years.
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has contributed significantly in shaping
up the startup ecosystem in the country through creation of institutional structures that fosters
technology-based entrepreneurship, such as the Technology Business Incubators (TBIs). The National Initiative for
Developing and Hamessing Innovations (NIDHI), an umbrella program, launched by DST in 2016 plugs key gaps in the
idea to market value chain. The NIDHI program implemented by Incubators, offer start to scaleup support through array
of programs namely EIR (Entrepreneur in Residence) (EIR), Promoting and Accelerating Young and Aspiring innovators
and startups (PRAYAS) and Seed Support Program (SSP). In last five years, these programs have generated notable
outcomes and impact.
I congratulate the Team of DST for their dedicated efforts and contribution in bringing out the compendium of 75
impactful and promising startups featured under various programs of NIDHI to commemorate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. I
also compliment the strong network of DST supported incubators and its nurtured startups, whose noteworthy contribution
on innovation and entrepreneurship will not only go a long way in realizing the mission of Atmanirbhar Bharat but also in the
nation building.

 FOREWORD
01 August, 2022.

Department of Science and Technology (DST) has been playing a significant role in aiding
the development of early-stage startups through the adoption of progressive programs and
development of pertinent infrastructure. Its contribution in fostering and nurturing the fledgling
start-up ecosystem steered through strong network of Incubators is noteworthy both in terms of efforts and impact. The
last five years have been fruitful in bringing speed and scale in catalysing programs for the national initiative of Startup
India -Standup India. DST introduced a flagship initiative NIDHI- National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing
Innovations to influence the Indian startup ecosystem even deeper.

During last few years, concerted efforts of DST has resulted in better outreach, outcomes and impact. It is now
evident that DST’s initiatives have created an enabling environment for startups and also brought in the multiplier
effect through global recognition to the entrepreneurs nurtured and supported through this ecosystem. It is heartening
to see that in addition to the incubation support, thousands of innovators and startups have been supported in varied
technology domains aligned with key national initiatives under NIDHI-EIR, NIDHI-PRAYAS, and NIDHI Seed Support
Program. These programs have resulted in accelerated growth in the number of startups supported, employment,
intellectual property generated, and wealth created.

I extend my best wishes to Team of NSTEDB, DST along with Vigyan Prasar, SINE IIT Bombay and Venture
Center, Pune in putting up sincere efforts in bringing publication on 75 promising Startups supported under various
components of NIDHI Program.

 PREFACE

Startups are the catalyst of change for any economy. The Startup India program has fuelled the
ecosystem with strong policy and program support by the government. Today, we see the presence
of strong technology and science-based startups across various technology sectors contributing to
the nation’s mission of self-reliance.
The National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB)
of DST has been dynamically adapting its approaches and offerings to suit the national aspiration and needs to foster
Science, Technology, and Innovation based entrepreneurship. The uniqueness in NSTEDB’s approach lies in supporting
a strong network of incubators in higher learning institutes to benefit fledgling startups.
NSTEDB has taken rapid strides in building the technology-enabled S&T ecosystem in the country, by launching
a Program NIDHI (National Initiative of Developing and Harnessing Innovation) in 2016. NIDHI’s array of value-added
program offers funding support at various stages of product development, including prototype, market validation,
enhancing readiness for market and investment. In last five years, the NIDHI program has yielded significant outcomes
and impact.
Celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to mark 75 years of our independence, a compendium featuring 75
promising and impactful Startups as beneficiary of NIDHI Seed Support Program, is being brought out by DST. My
heartiest congratulations to the wonderful effort made by these startups in contributing towards Atmanirbhar Bharat
Mission through their innovative products and solutions. I would like to compliment Team NSTEDB and the Incubators
implementing Seed Support Program for their efforts and commitment in making the program successful.

NIDHI - Seed Support Program

Department of Science and Technology (DST) has been the pioneer in supporting the
innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem in the country. In order to address the critical gap
in the availability of initial funding for technology-based startups, DST introduced Seed Support
System in 2008. This value addition in the offering of Technology Business Incubators (TBIs)
resulted in attracting a promising pipeline of incubatees.

After PM’s call for Startup India in 2015, National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing
Innovations (NIDHI), an umbrella program for supporting young innovators who are pursuing
their dream of ideas to startups, was launched in 2016. Seed Support scheme was also revamped
as NIDHI - Seed Support Program (NIDHI-SSP), and the scale at which support was provided to
TBIs was increased five times.

NIDHI-SSP is aimed at providing timely seed support to the deserving incubatee startups with promising ideas,
innovations and technologies within an incubator, enabling them to take their venture to the next level and facilitate their
success in the marketplace. This would enable some of these incubated startups with innovative ideas/technologies to
graduate to a level where they can raise investments from angel/venture capitalists or reach a position to seek loans from
commercial banks /financial institutions. We have already supported more than 460 startups under this program.

In this compendium, we attempt to showcase the most promising 75 seed-supported startups since the inception
of this program. We have shortlisted these startups based on various criteria like innovation content, critical problem
solved, technology readiness level, investment raised, market traction etc. Seed support is essential in their various
stages to enhance their market readiness. It is evident from the study of these 75 startups that each rupee invested as seed
support resulted in 10 times their external funding. Each startup has generated approximately 30 employment.

We wish to congratulate all the implementing TBIs of seed support programs and the startups for their immense
contribution to building the innovation and startup ecosystem in the country.

refrigerant leakage or cross-contamination. The lack of motors/compressors or any moving
parts enables low-maintenance operation. The unique design of Emvólio promises uniform
cooling (no hotspots/cold spots within the cold chamber) and minimal freeze-thaw cycles
(every time a user opens the lid to retrieve a vial and subjects the cold chamber to ambient
—
air, the rapid cooling system onboard Emvólio brings the cold-chamber back to safe limits,
i.e., 2-8 ºC, over 96% faster than an ice-based product).
Application - Emvolio is a portable active cooling (battery-powered) device that will
provide a platform for the delivery of vaccines and all other biologicals like blood, serums,
viral culture, etc., which require to be kept strictly between 2 ºC to 8 ºC for 12+ hours in the
