Delhi Government Supports Six Student Startups with Grants
The Delhi government, through the Campus-to-Market: Delhi Startup Yuva Festival 2026, granted Rs 10 lakh each to six student-led startups. An additional 100 startups received Rs 1 lakh encouragement grants. The funded ventures focus on various sectors including defence technology and AI, supporting students from various educational institutions.

Looking ahead, the initiative establishes a precedent for future support systems for student entrepreneurs in India. By providing ongoing assistance for product refinement and pilot testing, the program aims to ensure that these startups are not only launched but also sustainable in the long run. The success of this festival may inspire similar initiatives in other states, fostering a nationwide culture of entrepreneurship among young people. As these startups develop, they could make substantial contributions to the national economy, marking a pivotal moment for student-led innovation in India.
