Innovate to Solve India’s Critical Challenges Across Sectors
India is a nation of immense diversity and opportunity, yet it faces a spectrum of pressing challenges
across agriculture, healthcare, education, sustainability, financial inclusion, and more. These issues
require context-specific, scalable, and impactful solutions that can empower communities, strengthen
livelihoods, and drive inclusive development.
The "Bharat Innovation Conclave 2025" invites startups, innovators, students, and changemakers to identify
real-world problems and present innovative, technology-enabled solutions that address the critical needs of
Bharat — particularly in Tier-2, Tier-3 cities, and rural areas. The goal is to bridge the gap between
innovation and implementation by tackling sectoral challenges through sustainable and scalable approaches.
Participants are expected to align their solutions with one or more of the identified themes, demonstrating
innovation, feasibility, social impact, and the potential for widespread adoption.
Fiscal Incentives
The Bharat Innovation Conclave 2025 seeks innovative, practical, and scalable solutions to address critical
sectoral and grassroots challenges across India. Selected participants will get an opportunity to present
their ideas to a panel of experts and incubators. Promising innovations will be offered incubation support
at leading centers, including mentorship, infrastructure, and market access. In addition, selected startups
may become eligible for fiscal incentives and funding support to scale their solutions. This is a unique
platform to turn bold ideas into real impact.
Atal Incubation Center is one of the flagship project of Atal Innovation Mission under the aegis of NITI Aayog, Government of India.
