Startups selected under Udaan are eligible for grant-in-aid up to ₹25 Lakhs, along with extensive mentorship, investor readiness support, and access to market and infrastructure networks. The program enables entrepreneurs to enhance product development, streamline operations, expand market reach, and build sustainable, growth-oriented agribusinesses.
