Under the Pallav programme of the RKVY Innovation and Agripreneurship Programme, startups participating in the AgriFood Startup Seedcamp at AIC Anand Foundation may become eligible for idea and pre-seed stage funding assistance of up to ₹5 lakhs after successfully completing the initial agripreneurship orientation programme.

 

This funding assistance is designed to support aspiring agripreneurs in transforming innovative ideas, technologies, services, products, or business platforms into working prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and early market-ready solutions. Startups demonstrating strong progress and successful milestone achievement under Pallav may subsequently become eligible to present for the next stage of seed funding under the programme.

​

Eligibility Criteria

• Successful completion of the initial one-month agripreneurship seed camp conducted at AIC Anand Foundation.
• The applicant must remain actively enrolled in the incubation programme at AIC Anand Foundation for the entire duration of the idea/pre-seed funding support.
• The applicant must register the venture as a legal entity before the release of funding assistance, or already qualify as an Indian startup as per DPIIT Startup Recognition guidelines.

The Pallav programme enables early-stage innovators to validate ideas, build prototypes, test market potential, and lay a strong foundation for creating scalable, investment-ready agri-food enterprises.
