The Campus to Market: Delhi Startup Yuva Festival 2026 recently awarded equity-free seed grants of up to Rs 10 lakh each to six student-led startups. Organized by the Department of Training & Technical Education of the Government of NCT of Delhi in partnership with TiE Delhi-NCR, the initiative is designed to help young entrepreneurs move their ideas from the classroom into the commercial world. By providing this financial foundation, the program encourages students to turn innovative concepts into practical market solutions.
The recipients of these grants include Biocare Ventures LLP, AllSecureX, HeliousAI, Heuronics Pvt Ltd, Logify360, and Arista Vault. Their work spans a broad range of sectors, from defense technology and cybersecurity to sustainability, artificial intelligence, and consumer innovation. This variety reflects the capacity of student entrepreneurs to apply new technologies to modern challenges.
Beyond the top awards, the festival provided encouragement grants of Rs 1 lakh each to 100 other student startups. This wider support network is intended to help more than 750 students from universities, colleges, ITIs, and schools move past the initial planning stages. The goal is to provide the resources necessary for these projects to reach actual market deployment.
The event functions as a meeting ground where students can present their work, connect with industry professionals, and learn about the startup ecosystem. By backing these student-led projects, the program aims to foster a culture of entrepreneurship that contributes to broader economic growth. Supporting innovation within schools and colleges helps build a foundation for future job creation and a more active economy, while also bridging the gap between academia and the business world.
The Delhi government intends to build on this momentum by expanding its support for student startups through mentorship programs, workshops, and further networking events. The success of the festival reflects an increasing awareness of how youth entrepreneurship drives the economy. As these young innovators develop their businesses, their work has the potential to influence various industries, highlighting how education can directly support entrepreneurial success.
