iStart Rajasthan is the flagship startup ecosystem initiative launched by the Department of Information Technology & Communication (DoIT&C), Government of Rajasthan to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and startup growth across the state.
The platform provides a complete ecosystem for startups by offering financial assistance, mentorship, incubation support, investor networking, government procurement opportunities, capacity building, and market access. It aims to identify innovative startups and help them transform ideas into scalable businesses capable of generating employment and economic growth.
The programme is designed for startups at the idea stage, prototype stage, and early revenue stage. Through its integrated digital platform, entrepreneurs can register their startups, undergo the QRate Startup Assessment, receive recognition, and become eligible for various financial incentives and ecosystem benefits.
To qualify under the scheme, startups should meet the eligibility criteria prescribed by DPIIT and should either be registered in Rajasthan or have an operational office within the state. iStart Rajasthan particularly encourages startups working in technology, innovation, social impact, healthcare, agriculture, education, fintech, clean technology, manufacturing, and other emerging sectors.
iStart Rajasthan is the official startup promotion programme of the Government of Rajasthan, created to nurture innovation, entrepreneurship, and startup development across the state.
Eligible startups can receive seed funding, prototype support, commercialization grants, and financial assistance to build, validate, and scale innovative business ideas.
Selected startups may receive a monthly sustenance allowance of ₹10,000 for rural startups and ₹25,000 for urban startups for up to one year, helping founders focus on business development during the initial stages.
Every registered startup is evaluated under the QRate framework and awarded a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum rating based on innovation, scalability, team capability, market potential, and business readiness.
Startups receive access to experienced mentors, incubators, accelerators, investors, industry experts, and government innovation partners who provide continuous business guidance and growth support.
The programme connects startups with government departments, corporate partners, investors, procurement opportunities, startup events, networking programmes, and funding agencies to accelerate business growth.
