• DPIIT recognition typically required or strongly preferred
• Incubation / mentoring linkage as mandated

What you get

• Seed grant support (policy schedules often reference up to ~₹25 lakh — verify current notification)
• State ecosystem mentoring and networking
• Stackability with central schemes (SISFS, NIDHI, MeitY) in many cases

How to apply

• Register on Invest Uttarakhand / UK Startup portal
• Complete recognition formalities
• Apply with incubator recommendation when window opens

Stamped Energy fit

Highest-priority state instrument for Stamped if registered in Uttarakhand. Founder/IITR presence is a natural fit. Incorporate in UK deliberately to unlock this.

Sources & caveats

• Recognition and incubator letters are usually mandatory.
