<h1>Startup incentives and market-access facilitation expand state support, enabling collaborations and sectoral pilot projects for founders.</h1> State policy instruments provide institutional and financial support through the Startup and IT Promotion Cell: DPIIT-registered startup counts and disbursed incentive payments are complemented by market-access expos connecting startups with departmental officials to enable validation, procurement pathways and potential pilot projects. The roadmap includes women-focused skilling (including a drone-operations scheme), Digital Mahila Sashaktikaran, AI-enabled public-service tools, and planned infrastructure via a Global Capability Center to support mentorship, market access and ease of doing business.
