Building a startup in India is thrilling, but finding legitimate grants, active VCs, incubators, and free cloud credits often leads down rabbit holes of outdated blog posts and broken links.
To solve this problem cleanly, we built and open-sourced Awesome Indian Startup Resources ā a centralized, community-driven markdown directory.
š What's Inside?
- šļø Government Schemes & Registration: Direct application hubs for DPIIT recognition, Startup India Seed Fund (SISFS), CGSS, and PM MUDRA without middlemen.
- š° VCs & Angel Networks: Active seed-to-growth funds including Peak XV, Accel India, Blume Ventures, and 100X.VC.
- š Incubators & Accelerators: Academic and state-backed campuses like T-Hub, SINE IIT Bombay, CIIE IIM Ahmedabad, and NSRCEL.
- š Startup Credits & Tools: $100k+ in free perks across AWS Activate, Microsoft for Startups, Google Cloud, Notion, and GitHub Enterprise.
- š¼ Hiring Platforms & Legal Tools: Developer hiring boards, compliance assistance, and GST/incorporation portals.
āļø Automated Link Reliability (CI/CD)
Awesome lists often decay over time. To ensure that every single URL remains active, this repository includes a GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow powered by lychee.
Every week, an automated runner hits all 50+ endpoints to verify HTTP response statuses, catching broken links and keeping the directory permanently fresh.
